Summer Challenge Day 30

Today has been crazy busy. I managed a ride of 15 miles today and cardio dance for 1 hour...I spent about four hours packing, moving boxes to the room we are packing the stuff in until we move and hauling off junk! I am so tired tonight...eating was clean today, but a little lower than usual for me...partly just because I was so busy I didn't even think about snacks..

One fun thing today...made my day, my 5 year old passed her level one swim test and got her yellow band. It means that she can be on the kiddie side of the pool without me! She had to swim about 12.5 yards, float on her back and her stomach to do this...Her swim instructor, Brittany was determined that she was going to do this. She worked really hard to make sure that Autumn could do it and Autumn and I practiced a ton. Four weeks ago Autumn would not even put her face in the water, now she jumps in the deep in and swims!! It is awesome to see this progress and the confidence she has in her self!

This is a small thing to us, but like a medal to my baby! She is so excited and can't wait to hit the pool tomorrow!

While we are in the process of preparing for the move, I am going to be focusing on my tri training and doing whatever I can beyond that. I don't want to not do anything and i still have the goal of the tri. I don't want to give that up...whatever else I can fit in or need to fit in to help with the stress I will...

  1. I don't think it's a small thing at all!! I think it's fantastic! The first in a LONG LINE of victories for Autumn, and a HUGE boost to her self-confidence and self-image. You have a real treasure!
