Labor Day

 Today has been a relatively easy day.   I slept late and stayed around my folks house most of the day.  I even had some pureed rib meat w/o BBQ sauce.  hehe
  I went to the gym and walked on the treadmill for about 30min, ending up about 1.25 miles.  I did pushups on the weightbar and plank pulls too. Then I used 5 lb weights for concentrated bicep curls, overhead tricep and lateral raises. Then I did .75 miles on the bike for a cooldown.

  After the gym I headed to Publix for vitamins, Mio water flavoring and Greek yogurt.  I left $140 later!!! I did get some more vitamin c, some liquid calcium (that may not work for me), some biotin (hair help), eggs, and other stuff.

I told myself I wasn't going to weigh except at Dr. Friedman's but I did.... I have only lost 8 lbs since surgery almost 3 weeks ago - and this is the stage (3 wks post op) where people hit stalls. I have to step up  my protein, calorie and water intake.  I bought some ready to drink protein at Publix so maybe I will do better about getting started with protein in the morning.  And it will count towards my liquids.


  This afternoon I had to seperate the dwarf rabbits... Oops was being a little aggressive.  I need to get them scheduled to visit the vet for neutering, hopefully they would be able to stay together after that.

Rio isn't doing real well as far as his knees are concerned. Saturday night he and Rags chased down a 'possum and attacked it. I called them off  - the possum was ok, Rio is not. Sometimes he just barely sets his left toes on the ground. He seems lame on the right knee as well. I am really worried about him, he is too young to have all of these problems.   If he is still lame tomorrow I will have to reschedule him with either the surgeon or Dr. Coy and get him checked out.   Lots of $$ going there, and he is still hurting. Makes me angry and sad.



I have a ton of things I want / need to buy:
horse trailer, pool lift for my mom, Rio another surgery, rabbits neutered.....

I was able to wear some of the jeans S gave me, and as the day went on and they stretched out they were too big.  I can't quite get into the next size down so I don't know what to do. I guess the one pair of dress type pants that fit I will wear all week lol. I have been looking at an equestrian website and still just can't buy into me being able to wear clothes from a regular store like that (especially at 8lbs lost).
 I really really want to go to the charity tril ride for the horse assistance council in October. I would take Buddy just to expose him to the activity and I would dream of fitting in... and of being able to buy a T-shirt without the lady looking at me like I had 3 heads like she did last year.

Ok... tired and sore, gotta take T-vo  to school in the morning so I need to go to bed.
