Today I dedicate my day to my beautiful fur baby Athena. You greeted me daily with your smile and butt wiggles for 13 wonderful years. The day I took you home I thought I was saving you. But you my sweet girl were the one who saved me. At many moments in my life you were all I had. You got me through some of the darkest times of my life. I love you and I miss you dearly. Day 72 is on the books! Only 3 more days to go! ♠️💀❤️
Today I dedicate my day to my Father in Law. God truly blessed me with the very best. I could listen to your stories for hours. From our conversations about God and life to the devotions and scriptures you would send to me especially in moments when I was struggling most will forever hold a special place in my heart. Our time together was so special and will never ever be forgotten. I love you and miss you dearly. Day 71 is on the books! Only 4 more days to go! ♠️💀❤️
I woke up this morning super homesick and unmotivated. I can’t even find the words to express what I feel on the inside. My emotions are all over the place and my entire system is in shock. I feel like at any moment I am going to be physically ill. So I’ve decided to dedicate each of these last few days of this challenge to someone in order to keep me pushing forward. Because my drive and my desire to complete it for me alone just isn’t there.
So today I dedicate my day to my husband Justin and my son Hunter. Your unfailing love and support of me and my goals means the absolute world to me. You both push me to be better and do better. Neither of you have ever questioned me taking care of myself first ever! Matter of fact you both encourage it. If I’m falling behind in my day you either jump in and join me or pick up the slack. I love you both so very much. Day 70 is on the books! Only 5 more days to go! ♠️💀❤️
Today was a hard day and a very emotional day. I didn’t even want to get out of bed this morning. Today would normally be the day we spend Christmas with my Father in Law. I sulked for a while but realized he wouldn’t want me to waste the day or fail this challenge. So I got out of bed and got my butt in gear. I’m glad I got it all in when I did because not too long afterward we got the call that Justin’s Grandma passed away. I guess Dad needed his Mom up in heaven with him for Christmas. Please keep my family in your prayers. Day 68 is on the books! Only 7 more days to go! ♠️💀❤️
Little man had a super hard day today and it got progressively worse as the day went on. There was one point that we were in the middle of a complete meltdown with paint spilled on the floor and permanent marker on the kitchen counter with a tube of lip gloss that was cut open and literally on every single surface that was touched. Thank goodness the hubby came home when he did so I could put my head down and finish up my day. It was a close one. Day 58 is on the books! Only 17 more days to go! ♠️💀❤️
Oofda! What a COLD day to get that outdoor workout in. The air temp was only 12 degrees Fahrenheit with a windchill of 0 this morning. Growing up here I always saw crazy people running and walking out in this type of weather and told myself every time I would never be crazy enough to do that. Yet here I am doing it! Day 66 is on the books! Only 9 more days to go! ♠️💀❤️
Just cruising through the days lately. Not even a date night with my man and bar hopping with friends can stop me from crushing this challenge. Day 65 is on the books! Only 10 more days to go! ♠️💀❤️
Dare I say it for fear of jinxing myself…this challenge is becoming a little too easy. Don’t get me wrong I am VERY aware that at any given moment life can throw a giant monkey wrench in everything and make it hard once again. But I’ve come to a point where things are becoming routine and habit. I don’t stress about getting all my tasks in. They are simply non-negotiable and a part of my every day.
If I have plans, my workouts come first. Even if that means I’m up at 4am to get them in. If I start to doze off on the couch but haven’t yet finished my water. I get up and chug it rather than let it slide. If I’m out with friends I choose healthier food options and pass on the cocktails. I don’t feel deprived or like I’m missing out.
I truly can’t wait for this challenge to be over and not because I want to give up but because I’m too frickin excited to move on to the next thing! What that next thing may be I’m not still certain but I’ve definitely got some ideas brewing. What challenge would you like to see me take on next? Day 64 is on the books! Only 11 more days to go! ♠️💀❤️
So I almost failed today guys. I started to doze off on the couch tonight but still had 53oz of water to drink. My sleep has been awful since getting to WI so has little man’s and it’s definitely starting to wear on me. When I realized I was slumping more into a sleeping position I shot up off the couch and chugged every last drop standing up. I am praying for a good night sleep for all of us tonight. Day 63 is on the books! Only 12 more days to go! ♠️💀❤️
