Endurovet, thank you. My brain is so fried from all the talking I have done with police and bank. I wish I could just take it out so it can rest in pure quiet. Since I can’t do that I’m distracting myself with books and nascar races.
I’m glad your horse did so well. I’m sure you will do what is best for him on the next outing.
I hope the both of us have a better sleep tonight.0 -
October 5, Meals and sleep
Yesterday I spent 2 hours at the bank giving statements and trying to find out what happens next. Then an hour at the police doing the same thing. I was so brain tired when I got home. I stayed on plan with food. But I did have brunch before I left in the morning and cooked my supper as soon as I got home so I ate at 10 am and at 5 pm not my usual
Sleep I thought was better. I had no trouble falling asleep but according to Fitbit it was a broken sleep. I hope tonight will be better

I just lost my long commentary by hitting “done” instead of “post”, what a dummy!
But I wound up not riding Silas this morning since his back was a little bit sore. This is not unusual since you have to brace yourself differently in the saddle traversing these hills.
So I’m lounging around with my coffee while he eats his breakfast, and then we will load up and have a leisurely haul back home.
World of difference in sleep quality last night versus Thursday night even though the numbers are very similar. I actually had more REM & deep sleep Thursday night with longer periods of wakefulness. I still got up this morning feeling much better - a little stiff & sore myself, but in a good way!
Thurs night: 1 hr 8 min awake/2 hrs 5 min REM/1 hr 21 min deep sleep
I avoided the temptations of the food truck, although I did indulge in a real can of Coke last night (I wish I had a little snort of rum to put in it ;-)

Endurovet, I haven’t had a coke or Pepsi in 25 yrs. I can’t it’s like ice cream or chocolate to me. If I have it I would be in a sugar coma. You are lucky you can have just one.
I’m sorry your Silas was sore today. At least you got more sleep than I did.0 -
October 5th, meals, sleep & Exercise
Meals yesterday were the same. I did get 29 minutes of gazelling in. I thought I did 30. I also seemed to get over 13,000 steps in too. I’m some of that was rocking. But sleep sucked. I woke a few times to pee then my Shepard, Chewie started this crying out thing at 6 am and I’m not sure what that was all about. I couldn’t get back to sleep. So I am going to go for an early night tonight.

Back home safe n’ sound although it’s “always something”… I had a low trailer tire - aired it up & limped into the closest town, found a tire shop that patched the hole left by a dadgum nail - no telling where I picked that up?
Then a little over halfway home (almost 150 mi to go), a steadily worsening oscillation/vibration in the front end of my truck? My fondest hope is that it’s just a tire out of balance, but there was nothing to do but keep heading towards home, all the gauges looked good, she was running fine and nothing was pulling (I’m not a mechanic - I guess I could have a strut or shock going out?)
Finally made it home with my nerves stretched tight - parked the trailer & convinced Hubby to drive us into town for dinner. I deserved a nice steak for completing that haul safely!
Even better, the scales tipped down to 189.6 this morning.0 -
Endurovet, my goodness that was a trip home. Things come in 3’s so maybe you are done now. I would have gone out to dinner too. I’m glad the scale was lighter for you. Let’s hope this is a trend. I hope whatever the vibration is it’s not an expensive one.0

October 6th. Meals & sleep
Meals were good
Sleep finally was 8 hrs but not a lot of it deep. I still feel tired.
Steps were a plenty even though it was not an exercise day

October 7th. Today’s weigh in
Down 1 lb.
0 -
Congrats on another lb lost!!! My scales inched back up A.) since I had Chinese food w/Z last night (I’ll certainly never miss an opportunity for dinner with my son and he even paid for it - be still my heart!) & B.) sleep was crappy, even though I am safely home, I was fretting about the logistics of taking my truck back to the shop; I swear to God it’s always something!
It really has me questioning at times whether these little horse expeditions are even worth it??
At least my Cowboys eked out a last-minute win - I’m so glad I didn’t stay up to watch it; the game was delayed for an hour and a half due to thunderstorms.

According to Fitbit my gazelling registers as walking
I went longer than I usually do. Since I missed so many days last week due to unforeseen circumstances and since I’m exercising every other day, I gazelled for an episode of The Great British Baking Show plus some. I worked up a sweat and feel pretty good about myself.1 -
Endurovet,
I hope things get better for you and your truck. I know that feeling. If the horse expeditions make you happy I don’t see why not go.
I completely understand spending time with your son. I’ve been lucky lately. Hunting season opened here on the first so my son has been staying here to hunt. We have done 2 movie marathons. He lives with his dad.(His dad had a minor stroke a few yrs ago and can no longer work/drive, lost some of his sight). Because of this, I usually only demand my son’s time on Mother’s Day weekend and my birthday weekend. But it’s been nice having him here the last week or so I don’t know how long it will last.1 -
My old gym had Cybex Arc Trainers, a very fancy type of elliptical with multiple programs to help keep things interesting…
It always frustratedme to no end because I could go & knock out half an hour on the “Strength” program (variable increasing intensity), which would leave me drenched with sweat and yet the distance there again might register half a mile?!? My exertion felt much farther than that - it felt about the same as back in the day when I would jog 3 miles a day!0 -
Oh wow. I have never heard of a gym piece called that before.0
-
Thank goodness it’s “only” a bad tire - but that means I have to buy two since I want them to match up side-to-side.
So we will have to make one more trip to town tonight to pick up the truck from the tire shop…
I blogged about whether these diminishing returns are really worth it or not?

October 7, Meals, Steps & Sleep
Meals were a little over calories
Steps for the day were awesome since I started with a hr+ gavelling
Sleep sucked though. With so little I’m hoping tonight is better

(If I don’t quit losing my comments by hitting the wrong button & navigating away from this page with my big fumble-fingers, urrrrgh!)
But I can always tell when I have had a good period of deep, restful sleep when I wake up in the middle of the night temporary disoriented as to day of the week - Monday night when I awakened for my first potty break, I thought it was Sunday - thank goodness I did not have to repeat my Monday experiences!
Picked my truck up last night with two new rear tires - they did not do a very good job of matching them to the front tires as I had hoped, so I will just have to save up and replace the front tires hopefully next month. First world problems I know, but it disturbs my sense of order!

October 8, Meals, Steps and Sleep
My meals went over calories. My steps were the highest I’ve ever had I think and sleep was better but not as restful as I would like.
0 -
Endurovet, I get the matching thing. If I have one thing go off I buy 2 so I can match them and put the single one somewhere it doesn’t matter. Although I’m not sure I would do it with tires. I only notice if they go flat.0

October 9th, meals
I took yesterday off from my Fitbit while it charged then I forgot about it. When I remembered I was in bed and didn’t feel like going back downstairs to get it.
My meals were simple and under calorie
0 -
My dad (who taught me some rudimentary knowledge about vehicles: how to change a tire, change the oil, check fluids etc.) always bought tires in pairs so they would be matched side-to-side at least… even if we couldn’t (at the time) afford to splurge on a full set.
I got swept into the birthday celebration for my son’s fiancée‘s grandmother last night - got home late, didn’t sleep very well, gotta get moving this morning as I juice up with my coffee! Not going anywhere near the scales because we ate Chinese food again…0 -
Yes my dad taught me the same but not the buying thing but it makes so much sense in wear and tear. I was thinking about aesthetics, how they look to the eye. Silly me.
This past summer I cracked one of my front tires pulling into a tight driveway when I hit the curb. My tire guy was kind enough to find my a used tire with similar wear on it so it wouldn’t out balance the others. Then I had to have the alignment done. This or next month I have to have the undercarriage greased for the winter. Here in Ontario 🇨🇦 with the snow and then salt it can cause the undercarriage to get rusty and having it sprayed prevents that.0 -

Yep, 193.6 this AM - considering that I’ve had Chinese food twice this week, birthday cake Wed night, and a generous portion of chocolate yesterday, that’s no surprise…
I staggered around yesterday with a low-grade headache/feeling crappy which I blame on MSG poisoning - I messaged Zach to see how they were feeling but he never replied. He & his GF are taking another mini-vacay trip next week. That’s great (wish I could go!) but if I get over there & he hasn’t cleaned the poor python’s cage, I’ll be bringing Mila home with me. My husband will just have to ADAPT.
I hate to disturb my lil’ darling puppy but it’s a workday.
Wednesday night sleep - doesn’t look too bad, but as I said I didn’t feel well at all yesterday!

Very relaxed puppy there. Python hmm that could be interesting. My son had a tarantula for a time.1

October 10, Meals and Sleep
My meals were the same as always. I did laundry and I’m have well pump issues. The water doesn’t flow into the tank like it should. I’m hoping they don’t have to dig my well to put in a new pump. I’m trying to get info on my well now from Environment Canada.
Sleep sucked again

The highlight of my morning is Coffee Time with Ms Izzy, she is so warm n’ cozy!!!
Sorry your sleep quality is poor; last night would’ve been fairly decent until my dogs started barking at God-knows-what around 4 AM?!? I finally managed to doze off, which kinda sucks when I’m dreaming (REM) right before my alarm goes off…
Very proud of Hubby, since I’ve asked him to scout for Aphrodite-gator: he saw her today, went to defrost one of her special sausage links, went back to toss it to her, and saw her eat it! Which may not sound like much (big deal, she ate!) but I’ve been worried about keeping her properly supplemented until she learns to hunt on her own. (Maybe you read about the Gator Saga on my blog)
Hubby is NOT a reptile person, so this is great progress. Honestly I think bragging about our rescued-gator project is a status symbol for him around the neighborhood.

That is a very cute gator. I don’t mind reptiles as long as I can tough them with gloves.
October 11, Meals and sleep
My supper was way over calories. Not all are listed but I stayed on plan just had too many chicken wings.
Sleep was much better but not as long as I liked and woke dreaming about Jeremy Renner of all people and I was at a mall.

October 12, meals and sleep
My meals were over calories but no bad stuff.
My sleep was pretty good I didn’t get quite 8 hrs but I got almost 2 hrs of deep sleep. I like that.
