For Mother’s Day, my youngest son gave me a stomach bug. So no walk. But at least I was hydrated.

My day was going quite well and then went to crap rather quickly. Around 9:30 I realized I still had about 40 oz of water to go and decided that tonight I’d rather have to get up several times throughout the night to use the bathroom than let this freaking day mess up my steak. 12 days done.

Hope everyone had a lovely Sunday. I got to spend sometime outside, spent some time with my son and both my girls that don’t live at home sent me a txt. Mother’s Day is always a weird feeling day. I have 3 beautiful kids here on earth, one in heaven. I have a strained relationship with my Mom. We just aren’t close. My husband isn’t great at plan…Read More

What does everyone do for meditation? I use guided meditations because otherwise my brain does cartwheels while I’m trying to focus. I use 2 apps… Insight Timer and Abide. I also want to learn a whole lot more about breath work.

Day 11 done. It’s finally warming up so the outdoor walks are my favorite part of the day!

Today was a rough one. Messed up my nutrition and felt everything falling off. Going to work harder tomorrow, as it’s a new day and a new chance to do better. Who else will be seeing the Aurora tonight?

Today was great until it wasn’t. Parenting teens is hard. It’s hard when they screw up and you’re angry and disappointed in them. It’s hard to watch them be disappointed in themselves too. But all is fine and tomorrow is a new day.

That four day advanced split is no joke. One week in and feeling pretty sore but loving it!

If your head isn’t in the right place, you can still put your feet in the right place.
A motto of mine that has served me well!
Happy Saturday everyone!

This week’s been so much better than the previous several. It ended with my doctor giving me the green light to start getting back to normal since surgery, I sold 2 jobs this week totaling $127,000 and change which is about half of what I need to make up for the time I’ve been down, and as nerdy as it sounds my oldest son Donny and I went to go…Read More

Day 10- it’s 11 pm and I’m about to read, meditate, and journal. I spent the day driving from Flagstaff to Dallas bringing my youngest home from college and broke my walk into 5 minute chunks every time we stopped for gas, food, or potty breaks. I’m home now and going to drink some more water while I finish out my evening.

I’ve never been a great sleeper. I have a hard time falling asleep, I’m a light sleeper and wake up frequently. However there may be something to this meditation thing. I think it’s helping me sleep better. I’ve found that nights when I meditate before bed I sleep better. I think it’s helping just quiet the brain. For this I am thankful.…Read More

Yesterday was a long hot mess of a day. I had a few zeroes and even forgot to post here. But I didn’t make it mean anything and today got 100% done with time to spare. Day 9 done. ✅

Day 9 Complete
It was a challenging day as the morning was a disaster. finished the majority of my tasks just now which included chugging 25oz of water to complete the gallon. Should be a fun evening of frequent washroom visits lol. Win for the day my son joined me for the walk as we walked outside around the mall then over to Walmart and back.…Read More

Something happened last night that made me think of Ed Mylett. My grandma has early dementia and gets confused sometimes. I was just telling my wife I wish I had time to go visit her more often. Well I got a call at 7:00 PM from my grandma. She went to run errands and got turned around. She was lost and couldn’t find her way to her new place. 15…Read More

Today is trying to be a real challenge for me. I left my hydroflask at home when I left for the airport and my connection is delayed. I am determined to get in my walk either in Phoenix or Flagstaff once I get there. On the bright side I have access to water and I didn’t put my journal or my book in my checked bag so I can take care of that w…Read More

Day 8 was a challenge. Tough day at work, crazy windy day… but getting it done!
