Seeing Ex Soon...Ugh

We are going to my stepdaughter's band thing this weekend and the ex will be there.  I bought a skinny pair of jeans to wear with a sexy pair of heels for a casual but not casual look with my 19 pound smaller body.    I'm very happy to be able to fit into a skinnier pair of jeans.  I'm hoping I don't fall over in those heels.  Other than cowboy boots, I haven't worn heels in years. 

It's too bad there are still 13 pounds left to lose but 19 pounds is a good start, especially when you are going to be in the same building as an ex who can't stand you.  The 13 pounds should melt off like the rest of it did and I won't have to look into phentermine or any other weight loss help so far. Other than vitamins and managing my thyroid, I've not needed anything else (so far).

Mare Didn't Pork Out Over Winter

My mare looks pretty good for not doing much over the winter.  She actually loves winter so she was probably more active than most. When the others are in the run-ins, she's playing in the snow.  I was wondering if she was going to look like an advertisement for the best weight loss supplements ever and be round but she looked good. The "best weight loss supplements" advertisement should've been for her human mom (me) the last four years.  Her legs look SO strong, but I guess they better since she is half Clydesdale.  She gets her feet trimmed up in a week.  She'll be looking good for getting back into working for spring.  She has calmed down a lot as well.  I guess since she's coming up on six years old, it's about that time to.  She's so calm and sweet.

Lighter in the Saddle

I stopped by the stable this evening to see the horses and work on my mare's mane.  It's the first time we've been at the barn at the same time as the barn manager since before Christmas so it was nice to catch up.  We talked about getting lessons going again next week which will be great.  I am going to fit into my pretty black western saddle a lot better this year since I've lost 19 pounds.  My new thryoid medication has been like a fat burner in terms of weight loss for me. It's been great to have a doctor who knows how to treat thyroid disease.  Now my horse will feel a little less of me on her back and that's a good thing.

Healthy, Convenient Meals

Has anybody ever tried Nutrisystem?  I've thought about it for the meals alone, not necessarily the weight loss, but I wonder:  does nutrisystem work? I just love the convenience of having meals ready for myself but am not crazy about the grocery store frozen meals and the health content.  I tend to try more and different meals if I don't have to make them first to see if I like them.  Is that weird?  Maybe that's because I don't cook very well and chances are, I'd mess it up anyway the first time.  If I try something at another person's house or at a restaurant, and like it, I'll make it afterward.  I even eat white chili now and I never would have made that myself first.
