Well well well, I am still here, just been really busy and not able to do much but here none the less! I made a HUGE decision with my life and got realllly serious about it. I finally decided to stick to a New Years resolution and lose weight! Last year I was 350lbs, and I was over 330 when I really started in January this year. I am now down to 291.9 and there is nothing gonna stop me! I am matron of Honor in my sisters wedding on May 19th and I have been working really hard to lose the weight for the wedding. Not just for the wedding but for me, and my health. I am disabled, I have a neurological disorder that causes my muscles, bones and nerves to deteriorate. the only way I can keep out of a wheelchair is to get proactive. After 10+ years of letting this disease rule my life, I have taken the upper hand and am wrestling it into submission. It is non-curable but I hope that by working out in the pool at least 5 times a week I can stave it off for a long while! I am up to walking 2 miles a day in the pool and I also work out in the pool with foam weights for underwater resistance and leg lifts as well as a few other things.

How it started:

My hubby was diagnosed with Sleep Apnea and is a truck driver for a living. They were going to take his job away if he didn't get the CPAP and get better. He decided shortly after his father passed away that he was going to take his dads advice...one of the last things his father told him was to lose the weight and get healthy..."don't let this happen to you". He died of Pancreatic cancer. Not that there is  WEIGHT/CANCER thing but his father was overweight and diagnosed late. Fred took it upon himself to get a weight journal and I took his pic and measurements. He has now cured the apnea and has lost about 80lbs! I saw how much healthier he was getting and decided once and for all that I would really work hard and take that leap. I am now down 1/4 of the way to where I want to be and feel better and better every day. I look forward to getting my son on the bus and driving to they YMCA every morning. When I don't go, I feel off. I try on the weekends but it gets busy with bday parties and swim lessons but I think I will go at least until it gets busy, so even if I only get 1 mile in, it is 1 mile of exercise more that if I had not gone. I also work on the wii fit and do step and boxing, and I love it! I will try to keep you all up on the loss of weight and the gain in confidence! I am also working on cleaning up my studio and getting some major work done to post very soon! If not before the wedding, most definitely after I get home!!!  I am going to make myself a deal. For every 10lbs I lose I am going to do something artistic, that way I am not stagnating and just working on myself in one way and not another.

So...what do you think! The hubby and I want to redo our wedding pics when we are both at our goal weights, so hoping by our 5th Anniversary next August (8/9/14) you will see another pic of us in a fairy garden and skinny! Not that skinny matters, I have been overweight my whole life, but healthy and able to live for years and see my son grow up and graduate, get married and have children...that is my long term goal. Right now it is to get down below 290 by my birthday...I am almost 2 lbs away and just 2 days is my bday. I won't get upset or disappointed if I don't. I have learned and been praised as I also praise with my hubby. days that I don't lose or go up a bit that our bodies are constantly changing and that most importantly muscle weighs more than fat. Together we started a life and together we are getting healthy so we will be together for a long long time! So, almost 60lbs gone and about 140 more to go! I am in this for the long haul and so happy about it!

Nocturnos Breed Page

Nocturnos

Example – (Zubo Nocturnus)



He is the stallion starter for this breed.

Breeds;; Fresian (horse)
Great Eagle Owl (bird)

Height;; No restrictions although the base stock is a Fresian type of body.

Eyes;; Golden yellow or orange owl eyes are the breeds eye type, however when bred with other breeds, there is a chance of inheriting the other breeds eyes. The owl eyes are preferred in the Nocturnos breed, as they are night creatures and it is in their nature to use their vision for darker environments. A colt bred without the typical owl eyes would do best in a daytime environment..

Wanted - Golden eyes are the most sought

Body Markings;;
Markings of this breed if pure are a base black, with shades of almost midnight blue shimmering throughout. If a combination of two different breeds, markings are combined from both parents half the time and half the time the result will be the typical Nocturnos breed black. The base color is almost always the black with markings if markings occur.

Mane’s and tail’s;;
The mane and tail usually represent the birds coloring. In the case of Zubo, the Great Owl wings he has is also reflected in the coloring of his mane and tail. His leg hair, although long is the base black of the body. In the future we may find more raptor winged equines, as this is a hope of mine to provide my stable with raptor quality wings in my equines.

Hooves;;
Hooves are a shining black in the base breed. Variations may occur while breeding ( white hoof and sock, pink hoof...)

Legs;; Same as above, base is black, Fresian stock legs with longer hair from the knees down. Variations according to breeding.

Body Build;;
Any breed is acceptable to be Nocturnos providing that the equine would be able to hold wings. Usually back, leg and neck muscles are strong. If a horse that is smaller is bred with this stock, the wings may be noticeably smaller to account for the body.

Wings;;
The wings will resemble the bird wings or parents. The wings of the Nocturnos are those of a Great Eagle Owl. Very different from a hawk or eagle, these wings are shaped like an owls. Most all of the long feathers only lengthen a bit as they progress down the wing, unlike an eagle or hawk, whose longest feathers are much longer than those at the base of the wing. The long feathers are golden colors with a striped pattern all the way down the feather. The smaller feathers are shades of gold that shimmer in the moonlight on the tops. The underneath of the wings colors are muted. This is because of the raptor to keep the "prey" from seeing them until too late.

Discipline’s;;
Nocturnos without wings are fairly rare, and most breedings result in the owl wings versus regular wings, as it is a trait to this particular breed and aids in their night flight journeys. Every Nocturnos can enter the Fancy Dress. Most Nocturnos have good stamina for long or hard events – Dressage or Cross Country . All Nocturnos with wings do best in the Halter or Breed classes because attempting to get a saddle on over wings is not easy to do.

Most Common – Halter, Fancy Dress, Horse breed
Occasionally – Cross Country/Endurance, Dressage, Racing

Personalities/Behavior;;
Many Noctunros are wild but can be trained rather easily, especially when young. They are fierce competitors and strong as well as fast fliers. They can be docile when loved and cared for properly, however a rogue occurs rarely from a bad breeding or too much of the raptor in its blood. In these cases it should only be used as a breeder, not to show as the rogue gene is not carried over, it is just a rare occurrence, but they are a disaster at shows.

Unlike daytime birds, they wake at sunset and are ready to sleep by sunrise. They can be easily worked with to become adjusted to the daytime switch, but are most happy when allowed their regular schedule. This ease in day-shifting makes them ideal for showing.

Noctornos need to fly is instinctive due to the raptor blood and although they inherit no raptor qualities when it comes to hunting and eating flesh, they love to fly and will hover and dive at play.

History;; Nocturnos were discovered in Europe hidden in the mountians. More on this later

Song;; (*The call of the Great Eagle Owl is a deep resonant “ooh-hu” with emphasis on the first syllable for the male, and a more high-pitched uh-Hu for the female (in German, the name of this bird is "Uhu"). Each member of an Eagle Owl population can be identified by means of its vocalizations.*) This carries over in the Nocturnos breed. Along with the equine whinney and other noises most equines make, when performing the mating ritual or at play when diving and hovering, the Nocturnos call out with the inherited Great Eagle Owl Call of “ooh-hu”. In play with each other, it is almost like hearing a game of Marco-Polo. In the breeding ritual, the males call is lower and more seductive and guttural, while the females voice is long, airy and sensuous.
