DreamingThin's Journal

well on october 13th i hit 204 and then october 25th i weighed in at 212.  not a good two weeks i guess eh? i spent a week with my dad visiting my brother and his lady friend in olympia wa, thats just outside seattle for those that don't know.  i did pretty good sticking to my diet the only thing i really did that i shouldn't have was drink a ton more coffee than usual, but then being in a hotel for a week is never easy.  we had a great week even with solid rain for the first 3 days we were there finally on sunday we got a peak of the sun and then at least on monday and tuesday though it was not sunny at least it did not rain.  the colors were magnificent and i truly enjoyed our visit and time we all had together.  I have to say though that being thrown from a horse was definately not on my agenda for this trip or for that matter for any time in my life.  Apparently horses are basically terrified of bees, wasps, hornets etc and not a good idea to ride them thru a nest even if you don't know the nest is there.  My brother said there was at least 3 feet between the ground and the horse when i finally let go and my dad says he's not sure that even a bucking bull rider could have held on to what that horse was doing so i guess i should take conselation in that.  I managed to fracture a disk in my back though and then had to suffer the 9hr drive home again on top of all of that.  my lower back is so swollen that for me to stand after sitting is REALLY DIFFICULT.  lets just say i have been doing everything i could to drink as little as possible.  anyway..... to say the least this has been a rough last week now but come hell or high water tomorrow...... i am, back on the treadmill at least and lots and lots of water, i have come way to far to let being thrown off this dang horse to set me back any further and am determined to hit my goal one way or the other even if its a few days late.
