Hi, it's me!

Important note to self...stop being so passive when it comes to the kids. I'm not going to lie but the month of June was horrible. The adjustment at the beginning of summer was really tough for me. I couldn't wait to get to my parents house so they could take over for me. I'm not proud of it but it's the truth of the matter. My mom and dad have done most of all the discipline. I'm really upset for myself letting my parents do my job. Well, I'm going to be leaving tomorrow morning. I really need to recommit myself to do a better job. I need to work on my parenting skills. I really don't want to go home but I need to get real and face the problem head on. Self esteem issues are bubbling up again. Well, I gotta get back to packing it's going to be a long day.

Hot and Humid

It's me...I'm almost back from my month long trip! I headed out with the kiddo's and the camper to my parents house in Eastern TN. A short break to recover from the drive we headed off to Williamsburg VA for a week long visit. After that we headed to the Outer Banks NC.

Well, it's been fun but challenging at times. The weather out East is super hot and humid. The weather has made an ideal situation to freak'n hot to want to eat plus we hardly ate out. I also forgot that my mother isn't the greatest cook. Plus, I forgot my parents are really cheap. No eating out. So, it all boil down to eating three simple meals with lots of water.

I started to notice my clothes were getting super loose on me. Yippee!!!! I thought for sure I would gain a ton of weight but I was wrong. My diet is so on. I managed to drop a couple of pounds while living on the road. I'm going to be here until Wed. or Thursday. I'm not looking forward to the drive home. Hopefully, I will be able to do it in one day. I haven't workout in three weeks. I'm going to start up running again on Monday. I wouldn't start up again with Turbo Fire until the following week.

Celebration

90 days of Chalean Extreme...done!

Conquering fears...I hate heights but my mental stronger and push myself to climb to the top of the bike ramp!

I'm about to leave anytime to drive 14 hours pulling a camper to my parents house with three kids.

It's going to be hard but I'm stronger than ever before!
