My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.

Time for another push.  I am making a goal of another 20 lbs lost by May to bring me down to the lovely number 220.  That is close to weekly weight loss guidelines about 2lbs a week.  My plan is to cut down on portions further and make healthier choices.  I'm not going to count carbs but plan on making low carb choices.

I was fairly active this weekend I dared to Rollerblade (Still in one piece O.O) on Saturday and Riding on Sunday.  I am planning on riding  again this evening and possibly going to Zumba will have to see if I have time for both.  Riding is the priority I really want to see some progress in my ability.  I feel like I have gotten stuck not really getting any better.  Currently I am blaming it on the cold weather but that excuse is going to expire so I must get my bum in gear!
 
Exciting physical activity of the year is *drum rolllllllll* wait for it wait for it.....    
I have always wanted to give it a whirl before 2011 gasps its last breath I shall have have paddled around on some body of water or other hopefully with my head above the water not under... We all gots ta have goals right?. 

I wish I felt more energetic about this whole thing.  I do feel determined so forward ho.  Bit by bit to the final goal.  

On a completely unrelated note I got my hands on a toaster oven and plan to start doing some polymer sculpting.  If I like how things turn out I shall post pictures :) I have plans and schemes and goals.  If I can just keep paddling till I achieve some of them!

You're never going to keep me down

And here I am proving the name of this journal to be accurate.  Sigh.  Anywho spilled perfume and all…  I have not lost any more weight I’ve been stable around 240.  I go through great weeks of working out then I get sick.  I have been sick a lot the past few months.  Finally got a physical and my Vitamin D was extremely low.  Been reading up on that and it can cause moodiness (depression), tiredness and muscle aches all of which I’ve been dealing with.  Doctor gave me a mega dose to try to build back up will see if it helps. I’ve cut a few things out of my schedule to get a bit of a breather. 

On an up-note I did another 5K last month it was a lot of fun and a beautiful course.  I am planning another one in April.  Looking forward to it a lot!  Now that the days are longer Im thinking of starting to run in the mornings again with my Milla.  Will see how that goes.

Its been so wet I haven’t been able to ride as much as I’d like.  Went out on Sunday and trotted around the stables since the arena was  8 inches of slushy sand.  Loving my Romeo he is the sweetest horse.

Discovered a new blog I’m LOVING she describes my life cycles so well and the image below tells exactly where I am in my erratic cycles.  However I won't give into despair.  By Grabthar's hammer, I live to tell the tale or in the catchier words of Chumbawamba:

Hyperbole and a half
We'll be singing
When we're winning
We'll be singing
I get knocked down
But I get up again
You're never going to keep me down
I get knocked down
But I get up again
You're never going to keep me down
