Noticing a difference!

Although most of my clothing is not fitting any better, ONE article has been noticeably easier to fit into. My half chaps! So apparently my calves are losing weight.
And after today, and let's be honest, yesterday, I probably packed it right back on.

Yesterday lunch was half a frontega chicken panini and black bean soup with whole grain bread. Black bean soup is low fat/vegetarian and the frontega probably isn't THAT bad... right.
Then sushi and probably 6 big glasses of water.

I also had a riding lesson in the morning/afternoon that involved JUMPING!!!!!! Well, sort of jumping. It was a cavaletti sized cross rail, but Andy got super strong and I was definitely sweating by the end of the lesson. Not to mention the 60mph wind gusts that were knocking jumping standards over left and right!
I'm looking for a new place to ride. I've been bitten with the jumping bug and I think I'm going to pursue, slowly, eventing. She seriously turns her nose up at eventing and I'm a little frustrated that we're not moving further in the lessons. I'm paying $35 for a 45 min lesson. Which is really cheap for a private. But the last 3 times her daughter's been riding their youngest, and well over half the time has been focused on keeping the witchy mare focused. Not to mention she's moving the horses to a place where there is pasture board and no real arena. Which is fine for dressage, natural horsemanship, etc. but not conducive to jumping.

Today was a major failure. Kolaches for breakfast, almond butter and blueberry preserve sandwich with whole grain bread. I am really beginning to like Oro Wheat products. So far all of their products have been very tasty, range in the lower end of fat/calories AND are generally in the lower end of price, too. A couple handfuls of dried berries and tropical fruits, and honey wheat pretzels. Plus several glasses of water.

Dinner involved a handful of tator tots and a grilled chicken wrap from sonic. I gave two to Oscar so that's kind of like cutting calories, right? Then I was hungry when I got home so I wrapped a couple small pieces of cheddar cheese in salami and snacked away. And some orange pineapple papaya type juice.
