Laura's Diet....7 pounds down....2874829 to go. lol....pic on page 8---

[lauraSchumann]

Well here's the deal....those of you that have known me A LONG TIME....know that I have been very thin, somewhere in between and larger.  In the 90's I galloped race horses at Manor some, and Bandera Downs and a training facility in Stonewall and Boerne.
I was 114 pounds max.  Then gained to bout 140....still ok....in the mid 90's and late 90's...I was bout 145 or so....now I aint tellin
but add 40 pounds!  ARG.  I'm short so 5 pounds looks like 15....not a great thing.  I tried to pull out some pics of a very thin me,
and noooooooooooo!! I don't need jockey weight anylonger!!  Not going for 114!! (I wore my MOTHER'S pants!!)....I never even knew
I had gotten that thin, but back in 97 I got that small again by accident (not trying---stress married to a dum dum) and went
to San Antonio to the NBHA finals....planned to go home but made the 1D short round and didn't have any clothes.  My mom said go
get a hotel, and she would give me jeans to wear the next day and I laffed my butt off til OMG...I zipped them up and they fit!
NO...I do not want to be her weight...upon looking at pics at that time...i looked like a broomstick.  And anorexic.  No wonder people
kept asking me.  But I didn't realize that then.  Now...when I met Jamie...I was about 150....and a size 9/10....and I felt great and
looked good....there's where I am going...based on size only....its not like I have to buy one pair of jeans!! I have them from size
2's up to 14's....I still feel fine...but I want to go back to running---which i did all the time, and now I probably couldn't run past
my mailbox.  My brother was long distance runner (tried for 84 olympics) and I did other sports in high school which probably always
kept me thin.  Now the activity is horse related and I think my body has settled into a "routine" of what it is used to rather than
the muscle confusion which promotes weight loss.  So I am treadmilling...and jogging in the mornings alittle...and I starting skipping
rope yesterday.  I am a hard head of course.  And I usually do what I say I will------I just need to make sure that this time!! Its a
lifelong routine instead of a routine that lasts til I get where I want to be...and slack off.  
PLEASE BEAR WITH ME.  I'M GOING TO BE A GROUCH.  AND UNUSUALLY SARCASTIC. OR USUALLY SARCASTIC...HMMMM?? LOL....

OH...AND YA....you might want to pray alittle for Booger....i may be on his rear more than usual. :ROFL2: :ROFL2: :ROFL2:

I have heard that power walking is better.  /\\

If I lived closer I would come walk with you as I like to walk.  /\\

[lauraSchumann]

I have been walking this last week....and that's ok...i will jog a few steps...then walk....then jog, then walk.
Kinda the routine...then went in a set the treadmill....and went a bit on that while I talked on the phone.  The
person on the other end was like?? boy you are breathing rather hard! :ROFL2: :ROFL2:  I will be more careful
that from now on...its only a woman to woman conversation when I'm breathing that hard..... :ROFL2: :ROFL2:

[lauraSchumann]

Where do ya'll lose it first...me its the rear....then the "girls"....and my face...then the legs and middle last.  I don't have huge
legs to begin with and my rear isn't overly huge...i'm more the middle section and the "girls"....and the "girls" feel like they have
roommates now...and they got to move out! :ROFL2: :ROFL2: :ROFL2:

I have a treadmill, I used to use alot, but it is not in the house and I need a tv if I am going to keep using it. I did pull out my bike three days ago, and I like going down the road.  :ROFL2: :ROFL2: :ROFL2: I don't need to loose weight, I just need to get firm.

You are going to lick this Laura.

Laura I BELIEVE you can do this  /\\  /\\ I've lost 10 pounds since the first clinic and have kept it off.  I'd like to lose a little more, but life has gotten in the way.  But if I can at least hold onto to what I've lost...I'm happy.

Oh, and I was around the tracks starting in '94 with Houston, then San Antonio, Lone Star, Manor some then Delta.  Went to the Fairgrounds and Hot Springs once each.  So I understand that life too!!!

You can do this and I'm with ya!!!

[lauraSchumann]

This is me....at 145...this is OK....

[lauraSchumann]

Now you can see why at 114...i looked sick.... :ROFL2: :ROFL2:  I'm bigger and more muscular built...and when I get past
to about the 120's I'm not too cool looking....and I think this pic was bout 8 yrs ago??  yep...

[Gabe's Babe]

That is a good weight for ya!  /\\ I wish I could get there too! Hey, i gain in the face first, then butt then the girls...I loose in the face then the butt but the girls wont go away!!  >CRYING EYES OUT<

[Donk]

[lauraSchumann]

My girls will check out quickly...as does the rear...but I'm extremely worried bout their roommate...mr. wiggles n the middle. 
Hopefully I can evict him......
