wild horses keep dragging me away

my sweet angel misty!

+ misty has been here since friday and is settling in nicely. we were told that she was on the bottom of the herd hierarchy with the last group, but here? salty thing wants to be on top. bluebelle doesn't care too much, and is just so so so happy that she has a friend that she forgives misty's ear-pinning and butt-pointing. 

i still haven't gotten on, and probably won't for a few more days or so. she's still settling and i want to keep things nice and calm, so i've limited things to grooming and hand walking through the stupid snow. 

one thing that is making me just shake my head is that we have two VERY nice stalls that have hay nets and water, but neither misty nor bluebelle want to go inside — they just stand out in the snow and act like it's a nice, sunny day. 

ugh. horses. 

+ i've decided that this next 10 lbs (what i need to get to the next big ol' wl goal) is going to be the second hardest 10 lbs i have to lose on this journey. the hardest? the very last 10 lbs before goal weight. 

i am so very, very lucky to have the support system i have to help me when i fall on black days. my wl group, husband, kid, doctor, etc have really rallied around me to give pep talks, advice, and reminders of how far i've come. they shut my negative self talk down and boost my spirits up to the nth degree!
