I WANT TO RIDE A DAMN HORSE!

Oct 23, 2011

One more thing before I go to bed! All day today it's been bugging me to post about this and I keep forgetting. I thought of the one thing I absolutely cannot wait to do after I lose weight. I WANT TO RIDE A DAMN HORSE! Horses have a special place in my heart because I lost my Dad when I was 5 and one of the few memories I have of him was when he worked at stables and brought me there and sat me on different horses. My mom brought me to ride on a horse when I was around 10 or 11 but they sat me on him, walked away and didn't tell me how to work the reigns and the damn thing started walking down the city block (This was in Queens, NY) and nearly walked into a telephone pole because he had blinders on. I got upset, wanted off and wouldn't get back on.

I've been on 7 cruises, all to the caribbean and on each cruise there's always some sort of a horse riding excursion. Usually it's riding the horse and at some point you ride the horse through the water. In the corner there is always something called a "WEIGHT LIMIT" (the most embarrassing thing known to man). It's usually somewhere around 250lbs. Now I understand the need for a weight limit because I would not want to hurt the poor animal but I want to ride a horse into the nice beautiful caribbean ocean too!! I JUST WANT TO RIDE A HORSE PERIOD, DAMNIT!

This is going to become one of my major goals. I have about 90lbs to go, but I know I can do it. I'm going to download country music of people talking about their horses and have it on my playlist for when I start going to the gym. Inspiration music!
