Well, I have lost only 1.2 pounds so far. With all of the physical activity I have had in the past week, I would have expected so much more. However, I will not allow myself to get discouraged! My eating habits are improving. I’ve been craving fruits and vegetables. I have some pretty sore muscles…arms, legs, glutes with the steped up training of my equines.
Last weekend, Wes and I spent 2 days filming at the Gladwin Antique Carriage Festival. This involved a ton of lugging equipment and climbing into/out of a pick up truck’s bed where the tripod was set up. On Monday eve, myself and a local teen loaded 12 round pen panels into the back of my truck. On Tuesday, a woman and I unloaded the same panels and set up the round pen where I board. Then, for the next 6 hours (in heat and humidity) I was taught how to work with my mule. By the end of the day, both Reliance and I had had enough. Only, I still had to return the round pen. Wes and Steve took it down and loaded it up. However, it was Wes and I that unloaded it at the owner’s farm. I was really sore!
Fast forward 3 days. Today was the first day of a 3-day horse clinic. We spent 3 hours doing ground school which involved walking fast, show, shuffle and small circles. I’m not sure why this affected me so much, but my thighs and glutes are very sore and we have two more days to go. Even if the scale is not moving much yet, I KNOW I am increasing my fitness!
Today’s weight before dressing this morning 197.4
