So we came home on Sunday. House was ok except my main bathroom’s toilet was running the whole time we were gone and if you guys remember, we had a main sprinkler line leak which my neighbor fixed. Well another line had a pin sized leak which is why we continued to have water usage while we were gone. Joe had to dig and fix that in 112 degree weather. I have mixed feelings about being home. Weird because I had a hard time adjusting to our trip. It was just a lot..we were gone 2 months, traveled 6,000 miles, and visited 14 states. I wish we had done this 10 years ago as it was a lot of work. Just setting up the RV, tearing it down as often as we did, driving long hours, different time zones, finding RV campgrounds, navigating roads and figuring out false gps directions, dealing with all the mishaps and issues we had with rv, and trying to maintain healthy eating and some sort of fitness regimen etc was a huge chore! The 1st month I was able to work out with my weights 3-4xs a week but 2nd half of trip we were either traveling all day or sightseeing so weightlifting was non existent. I was able to eat fairly healthy and still indulge in local cuisine once in awhile. In fact I came home 2.5 lbs lighter than when I started. I think it was due to muscle loss…I took my measurements when I got home. Even though I lost weight, I lost an inch off my biceps and 1/2 inch off thighs. ( for me that’s a negative as it was muscle loss) Waist was the telltale. I went from 29.8” to 32”! I will need to get to work now to get that back down! I’ve been to gym twice since getting home. It felt good and I’m not as sore as I thought I’d be. Anyway, we are home for about a month now so it’s time to get back to my fitness journey! Oh, one more thing…Joe is adamant on buying a new RV…I have in the past been able to talk him out of it but this time I conceded! Our 30’ 5th wheel has served us well but it is a 2010 and too many things are starting to go wrong. We did see some amazing places and visited with family and friends but this is definitely a one time trip. Next year it’s back to the Northwest which we have done before. We will average a 7-10 day stop in each destination. I like that better.💜

We are in Amarillo Texas for the night. Took a minute to go see the The Cadillac Ranch. It was created in 1974 and you can still spray paint on it. Joe sprayed our initials and a heart on one. My eating has been up and down and my exercise has been minimal

I am a bit stressed. Yesterday was a terrible travel day! We left Louisiana around 9 am and planned to drive to Destin, Tx and spend one night there. Had route and RV spot all planned out so we would miss any rush hour traffic in Dallas. Well that didn’t work out! We came into Dallas and hit a terrible rainstorm. We couldn’t drive in it so Joe saw a Walmart and we pulled over. It was extremely humid and hot so we parked and headed for the trailer where we have a generator that can run the AC. Well that didn’t happen. Joe couldn’t get it to start. Sydney ( our dog) was starting to have some distress so we got back in truck and put on the air. She was panting really bad and it scared me. The rainstorm was bad with lots of thunder and lightning. It lasted about an hour. Of course by then it was rush hour and also backed up due to the amount of cars that waited out the storm. In my opinion, Dallas has a very intricate and confusing freeway system. Toll or not to toll, express lanes that aren’t on GPS, extreme amount of construction, and now rush hour traffic. There were interchanges that had basically a very short lane to get over into it and since we were towing our 5th wheel, that was a problem. It was seriously the worst experience and I lived in Southern California for many years. I thought the freeway system in Cal was bad… Texas is much worse! Then we finally get past all that and find out the RV place didn’t have record of our reservation and now they were full! We has to drive to Bridgeport Tx to finally get a spot. There were a few in between but they were closed due to some flooding etc from last storm. Poor Joe was stressed and tired! Hopefully today will be better. 💜🙏💜🙏
