    Morning GG and all to come. Turning out to be a gorgeous day. Temps up again and sun out. My baby was born 23 years ago today.

      Happy 23rd Birthday, RC's baby
      Ohh.... and Good morning!

      Yep, purdy day here as well; I think I might be able to put the hip waders away today
      Got my horse trailer hooked up this morning, need to put in some serious hours of work and then take the muddy horse to lessons this afternoon.

      Happy Tuesday, eh!

        Thanks GG. It was wonderful to spend a birthday with her. First one in 10 years. It's been quite dry here although we did get a great rain all night. Are you training with Atlas or your new horse? (sorry don't know her? name) Daughter got a 4 month old Appaloosa as a project. So cute.

            LOL.. yep, training with Atlas.. the new one's name is Trouble.. an older gent I took him out for the first time the weekend before last.. and MAN, does he ever have go! Little speed walker, he is :H

            Awww.. a 4 month old? They are lovely at that age! My friend has one (well, 2 actually) around that age.. and the one little guy is just the funniest thing ever. He ADORES scratches... he will stretch and lean into you like a cat, just to get some more. He'd purr if he could! :H

            Really glad things are coming together with your daughter... it's been a long time coming, hasn't it? :l

                Oh SK.. I wish I could give some brilliant advice! Actually, RC might!

                I put on 20lbs after my surgery last November and I'm still struggling with losing that I know it isn't healthy but I've resorted to eating next to nothing... every time I eat a real dinner I gain at least 2lbs.. so not fun! But I'm also working out twice a week with a personal trainer now... and I am seeing a bit of light at the end of the tunnel.

                But every now and then, I give into the chocolate habit, too... that prolly doesn't help, huh? :H

                  SK,
                  I like Weight Watchers, You can eat what you want but you work on a points system, so you kind of pick and chose what you can have and try to stay under the recommended amount of daily points. I obtained my goal wieght by doing this. Just my opinion - everyone's different

                    Hello fellow Canucks, I think weightwatchers is really the simplest one. I like the old points system but I really haven't given the new points system a try. Just had a physical this morning; waiting for the phone call about the blood work... yikes.

                        Com'on now Canucks---we know you're out there. What's the weather like in your part of this vast beautiful country?

                        Tipper, I posted to you in Vynan's thread about sunflower seeds I think or maybe the one about smoothies.

                        Sunny, I know you had good lesson with Atlas from chat last night. That's great. You two will be taking ribbons before you know it. Trouble sounds like a zippy old dude. Is he a rescue? Daughter's horse has never been handled--so he is definitely a project. She's a bit of a horse whisperer--do watch Heartland?


                        Hi Skendall, are you a Canadian living in Texas now?

                        Gotta Stop--I'm no expert, but from what I've heard weight watchers allows alot of pointless foods because they have low points. I have no idea what their success rate is but it seems to me it is not a sustainable program nutritionally. JMO too

                          Hola, RC!

                          Awwww.. ain't he a cutie :heart: Is he the Appy? Looks like he's got a lot of mane for 4 months old and Appy!

                          I'm not necessarily in it for the ribbons, hun... although we did get a few last year. But I felt that I rushed things and neither of us were quite ready. I'm just going back to basics with Atlas. Trouble isn't really a rescue - or at least not anymore. He was really REALLY sick a couple years back and was given to a friend of mine (he was a trail horse most of his life). She now would like something younger and up for 4-5 hour rides.. and the old guy really should only be asked to do 1-2 hours at a time.. which suits me perfectly

                          Yeah, I did get into Heartland.. but I see a lot of nonsense on it, too... :H

                          Btw... I'm going out this aft to get ingredients for healthy brekkie smoothie! It's a step in the right direction, right? Now, all I have to do is actually MAKE it!

                            Great idea, Sunny-bean.

                            Tipplerette started a thread back in January and I ended up bumping it up a couple of times and it finally faded out. Let's hope this time, there are more peeps joining us.

                            Here's the link to that other thread..... https://www.mywayout.org/community/f9...s-2-47388.html

                            And here is a random list of some, but not all of the Canadians on this forum. Just got it by going back over a couple of threads. So here goes...

                            That's a total of 28 Canucks that I know of and there is another girl from NS but I've forgotten her user name.

                            Now, just to remind you fellow Canadians what we have to be proud of, here are a few pictures that I posted on the other thread.











                            So let's see if we can't keep this thread going, eh?
