   I had a good day yesterday and today has started well too.  Yesterday I taught a riding lesson and had to get on the horse it felt good I haven't rode in awhile it took allot of my muscles to get her together and her back under me.  I am feeling it today be it is wonderful I have PT today and I am going to the YMCA to join so I can start swimming to strengthen my joints. 

   I hope to start riding my horse I could not ride her in the winter I have a hard time with cold my body temperature is so low 97.2 and my blood pressure is 98/72 that I am always cold.  Now that it is getting warmer I will start riding which will build up my muscles.

   I have lost weight I am down to 129 lbs and still losing but I do not mind to keep weight off my joints is better but will be watching to make sure I do not go too low 125 will be the lowest I want to go since I am 5' 6".  Half the time I am not hungry I force myself to eat I usually have rice and veggies for lunch and fruit for dinner.  I will eat anything I crave but I am just not hungry I was a raw vegan until I got really sick and my stomach could not take the raw so I started cooking so my stomach would take it.  So now I am a vegetarian I am drinking milk since I am starting to have curiture of the spine.  My doctor is put my on pills for my bones since Hypermobility can lead to problems in this area.

   I have had allot of bad days it is good to have good day and to share those.
