Happy Monday Waistaways

CW 239,4 lbs

I am sorry I havent been in touch much!

I have had the craziest weekend at work! Really busy: 200 customers breakfast, lunch and dinner for 4 days! But what was the most crazy that they were British Naturists
The first couple of hours were a bit of a shock, I am not gonna lie but after that it became normal. They were men and women after 50 year olds. I actually admire them for their confidence of taking clothes off and walking around naked
That group was the nicest and most polite group of customers we've had in a loooong time

This week at work is failrly quiet for me. Weekend very busy.
With my boys back at Uni - there will be new routine shaping up

Have a lovely day everyone!

@ashleycarole86 Steps for Sunday 8th September 8,615 and the rest of the week 😊

I went to a wedding on Saturday and at some point my husband offered me a glass of beer from the keg. He said it was a light beer. Usually, I can have two or three light beers without having too much gluten as the clarifying agent in light beers kills most of the gluten proteins. Well, after having two beers I started to really not feel well and asked him to double check what kind of beer it was. It was a wheat beer, not a light beer. Yesterday was miserable. Gluten causes the obvious digestive issues, but it can sometimes give me migraines and other times it causes inflammation in all of my joints. The joint inflammation is what happened yesterday and it was the worst in my bad hip. I dislocated my left hip when I was 15 and then hyperextended it when I was 28. It hurt more yesterday than either of those times. At least I didn't have any plans yesterday and got my dogs to all cuddle with me.

Happy Wednesday all 🥰

@strong_fit_ells impressive steps as always! I thought I was doing great today, but you are striding out way ahead of me

I spent the early part of the day doing the entire tour of my horse's pasture chopping down burdock plants. I know they are famously the inspiration for velcro, but my horse has a HUGE talent for getting as many of the horrid burrs stuck in his mane and tail as is equinely possible. Every single day. It is making me crazy and his mane looks like he styled it on the electric fence. There are 4 horses out in that field, but only Jasper seems to love those burrs so much.

So today my riding friend and I decided to get out there with the nippers, cut the dreaded things down, and make sure they were out of the horses' reach. We know they'll grow back, but not until Spring - so at least for the next few weeks, it is a burr-free zone. Phew! It was super sunny out and it is a big area, so we surely got our steps in. We got covered by the danged little picky seeds - worse than after a haircut! Then I rode Jasper after (hopefully) de-burring him for the last time this year. I certainly enjoyed my showers after that ride!

Hope you're all having burr-free days!

Ugh , I can't seem to find my mojo.

Still no perfect day.

It's been quiet here this week! What is everybody up to? How are you working towards your goals?

I took a 3.75 mile walk/jog this morning. I was definitely sweating by the end (more like the middle of it)! We didn't get to the beach today, but did walk around the outlet stores. I also did some reading on the back patio which was lovely.

Today, we had all 3 meals at the house which is helpful. But I did decide that today would be my sweet splurge day and got a cupcake. Can't wait to eat is later!

Where did today go? It came with a handbasket, I swear.

My horse has a corneal ulcer caused by the dreaded burrs - it looks like we should have had our burr cutting party a bit sooner. He has to stay in during the sunlight for a couple of weeks. The medication dilates his pupil and sun could cause retinal damage, but he can be out all night at least. I'll have to go and entertain him during the day and ride in the indoor arena - and hope for cloudy days! So needless to say, today's vet visit wasn't a barrel of laughs, but at least the weird blue patch on his eye is not developing blindness of some kind. It will heal.

Then I ran errands like mad, and finished the late afternoon with a fantastic walk with a friend and her 2 pugs. Conversation was wonderful, even though accompanied by the snorting/snurfling/snoring sounds of the pups keeping up to our challenging pace! The sky was so gorgeous, and the trees are turning all the colours, so it was a lovely walk. And how about that full moon?

Keep well, everyone!
