In my husbands words:
Same man. Different bum. Different saddle. 🤠
Pretty sure both the horse and the bull filed a formal complaint in the first photo.
“Sir… respectfully… this is a lot of human.”
Fast forward 70 pounds and suddenly livestock everywhere is moving a little freer, breathing a little easier, and no longer checking the weight limits before I climb aboard.
I spent years thinking getting healthy meant punishment.
Turns out it was actually freedom.
More energy.
More confidence.
Less inflammation.
Less back pain.
Less junk in the trunk trying to achieve its own zip code.
I didn’t lose myself in this process.
I finally found myself again under all the extra weight, stress, excuses, and late-night “reward snacks” that somehow turned into full-contact buffet experiences.
And before anybody says it,
Yes, the bull is smiling bigger in the after photo too. He survived. 🐂😂
