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!
