Whew' It's been a while. For one thing, the weather is improving, so I'm not in the house as much anymore. For another, not only have I not lost any weight, I've gained back the 4 lbs I had lost!! Another pound up and I'll be at my all-time high, which is nothing to celebrate. Another fat summer.
But I'm back to exercising. A bit. One reason is that I can see our hiking trip in California on the horizon and I'd best get back into hiking shape. Probably going to have some snow and other winter complications, so might not get in as much hiking as we (translate: my husband) think.
So, I'll try to do better with my blog. I saw a friend the other day who is having a few personal (marriage) problems as well as a very busy time at work. She looked even thinner than usual. I said, "Gee, you're getting even skinnier." Let's just be clear that calling someone skinny is a compliment. She said, as she always does, "Oh no, I'm not. I'm FAT." Now come on. Makes me want to her force-feed her some Twinkies. Honestly, she weighs about 105 lbs. Now in what world is that considered "fat?" Maybe Ethiopia.
Anyway, there are some things driving me nuts, even besides my fatness. And by the way, if that friend mentioned above IS fat, then what in the world does that make me? Elephantine? Ok, back to crazy: my family, my horses (who are trying their best to find a place to die. an inconvenient place to commit suicide, actually), our farm, gas/diesel prices, my occasional work, and, well, everything, just about. I'm trying to find a mule to buy and not having much luck.
So, enough whining. I'll take a deep breath and count my blessings. And have some wine. That might help, too.
1417 miles to Moab. Hey, I might make a big push and get under 1400 miles! Should I count my riding miles? Have to think about that.
