Summer Challenge Days 18-20

Well, this has been a crazy few days! My car had the starter go out on it Thursday and it was waiting to be fixed on Friday, so I was pretty much stuck at home until Friday evening. Managed to accomplish some stuff at home, but not any dedicated workout time....I did play with the kids and stuff...so I was active, but not my normal...

I got to see my oldest as well....My son is almost 23 years old and a Marine...but he is still my baby boy....

Friday evening, I went to look at a bike I had found on craigs list. My daughter, Celeste, and I had been sharing her bike and it was time for mommy to get her own. I really wanted a road bike, but couldn't find one in my price range. I came across this mountain bike on craigs list that really seemed to good to be true for the price, but when I went to look at it, it was what had been represented, so I bought it....I am suppose to have pics, but for some reason it will not upload....I will try to get some tomorrow on my phone and get them up...for the tri I want to do this bike will be fine and then I can decide if it is something I want to invest money in for next season, plus this gives me one for trail riding with my daughter...something she loves to do!

Saturday, we did make it to the pool to play and swim for a couple of hours, then it was a fireworks festival in the evening...the kids had a blast and the fireworks were amazing!

It was really a late night for us and today I was so tired that I really didn't feel like doing much of anything outside of going to church. Church was awesome! Spent most of the day just chilling out....

So several days here of not working out and unfortunately not eating very good and I am feeling like crap...headaches, tired and not the I have been busy tired, but drained tired...I also didn't realize how much my mood is affected by what I eat...I am feeling more emotionally blah today....you know normally I am the odd ball through holidays of any kind...I can stick to my plan and eat the right stuff...I am the one that loses weight through Christmas! I don't know if it was because I was not working out or just so busy I didn't plan, or maybe some emotional eating...but it was really not a good few days...I have got to get back on track! I truly hate how I feel right now physically and it is not helping the mental state! This has got to change...

The plan is to get up in the morning, have something resembling clean and healthy for breakfast and then go for a long (for me) bike ride on my new bike! Hopefully I will be able to get some lap swimming tomorrow as well....

I have got to find the motivation back....I know what I want and I know what it will take to get there....now just kicking my own booty in gear is the next step!
