just 10 more

Had a killer h/a yesterday for a few hours, followed by my nose dripping like mad.  Used to get frequent ones but haven’t had one that bad for ages.

Getting caught up.  Before I forget again—-got on the bloomin scale Sat., not quite as bad as I thought it would be–15 to goal, I honestly thought it would be about 20.  It’s sad that I’ve gotten so accepting of being so far away yet—just keep plugging away.  Maybe I’m afraid of being banished from here if I meet goal; I keep reading how good blogging is for us.  Great, a new worry to obsess over!

Gracie was not too bad on Sunday.  I did end up in the center of the riding area with the whip; A. positively assured me that she won’t run toward something she is afraid of.  I want it known that I never actually touched her with it before people think I’m hitting her.  All I did was point it just behind her back legs and make little circles.  Or, if she wouldn’t whoa, put it in front of her.  It’s one thing she responds to beautifully, although I (of course) ended up doing something I said I wouldn’t and was scared to death the whole time.  I never in a million years would have guessed I’d ever be doing something like that even a year ago.  The new ex-stallion is in the main pasture with everyone now, Apache, and he’s still just beautiful—kicking up his heels when they pick on him, spirited little thing.  The woman who owns Grace is back from sea, haven’t heard from her yet; did send her updates.

Gym yesterday: 1.25 mi. on tm, 1/2 hr. on elip., 12 min rowing, ladies lite aerobics.

Soccer team lost again yesterday 2-1.  What can I say, they are really, really  not very good.  Game again tomorrow.

Food so far–actually, I have been good the past few days–bfsk: Grapenuts Flakes w/skim, low salt V8, decaf tea w/skim, cantaloupe….snack 1/2 piece Wasa…….(LATER)  early lunch: mushroom, cheese, spinach omlet,  pudding cup, pear………..snack: peanuts, almonds…………..dinner: salad, small prime rib, 1/2 baked pot.

Earlier today when I started this, I mentioned that the h/a I had yesterday might be allergy-related; well, on the noon news they said the pollen counts for 3 different trees (birch, sycamore, and cedar, I believe) are super high!!!  So, I guess my diagnosis was right on.

Making a more concerted effort to stay away from salt, I’ve developed the theory that salt makes me eat more.  Maybe it’s that mistaking thrist for hunger idea that I’ve heard put forth.

Anyway, enough for now, chickadees.  Will try to update later (7:30pm: done)

Off to another night in front of the tv, chickadees.  Behave yourselves!
