Hi everyone we spent the day at the Breast Cancer Barrel Race in Denver today. My oldest daughters horse slipped and fell going around third barrel, but they both are ok and were able to run again this afternoon. So that was good. Thankfully they were not hurt. But the thing I wanted to share is that it is held in the collisium(SP?) were the Denver Stock Show is always held and we attend every year. ANYWAY to make a long story short the seats are fixed stadium seats and are always so uncomfortable. Lets just say they are narrower than I am and very uncomfortable to sit in. Well this barrel race takes all day and I was up in the stands taking pictures and about 2:00 it dawned on me I had been up there most of the day and didn't feel uncomfortable or pinched. Duh....I realized I actually fit in the seat with room to spare on each side!!! I know this sounds dumb but it was such an odd feeling when that dawned on me. A good feeling but I can't believe it took all day! I am down over 45 pounds since starting this thread with all of you and I know my clothes are loser but this was the first I realized I am smaller than before. Sorry to ramble but I just had to share with someone.:) So keep up all of the hard work it really does pay off!
