I am sore all over!

I had farm work at school today (yes, even over the summer months)

and i was in the pen with the sheep,

and the one male is a but-faced-miscreant!

He rammed me with his head, into the gate

then jumped up on me and scratched my back!

sadness.

Before that i had a breakfast with my family.

We went to this little Salvadorian restaurant by our house.

Now, my whole family is to some degree fit, and in their normal bmi's except for me.

I'm the fat sheep in the family. Well, myself and an older cousin. Everyone else is a full fat eater and maintains their shape rather well.

Sucks for us!

Anyways, while Salvi food is delicious, its also super heavy on the fat and greasy.

I tried to stick to plantains and beans, but the tortillas were hand made and fluffy and yummy!

i admit that i had two.

It was making me wonder how everyone else deals with eating out?

With friends, it seams like they understand more, and don't criticize your choices,

yet when i'm out with my family, they all nit-pick about what i order, telling me what i should eat, while they don't exactly set a positive example.

(*sigh*)

Its hard to make good choices when everyone else is making bad ones.

While i'm not banded yet, i'm trying to lose 10% of my body weight, about 27 lbs

I read a long time ago that doing so would help me bounce back faster after a surgery or injury!

I hope it helps,

but either way it can't hurt!

One good and easy way of doing this is by training and chasing the new puppy i got for my grandma (she lives with us and was so lonley, so its been a great thing for her!)

We've been trying to learn how to play ball,

so not only do i throw the ball,

i run for it

bring it back to the starting position,

then praise the puppy for doing a good job!

All of my other dogs get into the game,

so if i'm not chasing the ball, i'm chasing them to get the ball back! ha!

Its all fun

and with summer starting i'm going to start

jogging again at the beach!

I better take advantage of the mellow weather and get conditioned before full summer hits!
