My Reward!
So I finally did my reward for hitting under 200lbs. For some back story, I used to train horses for a living. I rode every day for years but I haven't ridden since 2004 when my son was born and the weight packed on. Well everything changed today!
**ETA: I completely forgot! I also left the barn and headed to Dover Sadlery to see about breeches and not just one but multiple pairs fit me off the shelf. Size 36. I was floored. That was almost as good as the ride!
My son had a lesson as well, and when he was done they let my daughter faollow me around. It was a fantastic day. Now I'm trying to figure out how to afford one again!

Wonderful! That had to feel so good. 
You give me inspiration. I was raised on the back of a horse (Dad was the trainer) but haven't ridden in years. I've thought I might sign up for some lessons after I get some of this weight off. I have no idea what it costs in my area.

~ working on reaching goal again after regain
Over the weekend I was checking out horseback riding lessons in my area, so as you can imagine, I love your reward!
I would like to go horseback riding in Hawaii but I'm not sure my stomach will be ready for that much jostling -- 3 hours, I think -- 8 weeks after surgery. I guess I can ask the surgeon, but finding out in the middle of a long ride would be kind of bad news!
