Long yard!!!
On July 22, my parents arrived from a 2700 drive from
Southern California to York, PA. Immediately we started the “long yard”
project. Seventy days, day and night, of very hard labor by my husband, father
and son, they did the work of a full crew and did a great job. My mom and I had
our projects and wedding prep going for my sons big day that all came together
and looks gorgeous. I look around and am
blown away with what my family accomplished and can't believe that weeks of a
torn up yard, dirt pills and sand turned into an oasis. And I'm blown away by
those family members that came by our side, like my brother in law and his
wife, Kim and a Pete, insisting that our project needed sod instead of the yard
being seeded and going above and beyond to get some sod, Pete prepping the yard
and everyone coming together to get it laid. They were right, our lush green
grass helped set everything off for the wedding. My mom had the vision and my
dad was the engineer and my husband and son were working along with him day and
night. Friends came through in such a huge way and with all of this, the
wedding was magical!
Another awesome surprise was that my brother and sister in
law showed up at the wedding. They flew in from SoCal and pulled off surprising
all of us. My heart is full! My parents headed back home this morning and Kevin
and I are having a day of reflecting. What a ride!
Through all of the above I feel like I did well eating
healthy and moving my body, up until Sunday. Once the wedding was over I
crashed which equaled sugar! I'd been staying away from bad sugars but
emotional eating crept it's ugly head up and it was on. I ate cupcakes, well
mostly frosting off of them, for three days straight. Today, I only ate a
finger full. Lol. Ugh, I wasn't going to! My birthday is Saturday so I'm not going
to be all crazy and say I'll be good from today on but, I am committing to a
cleanse on Monday the 17th. What I am trying to do is get off the
sugar and wheat carbs as much as possible until the 17th.
Through our seventy days of the “long yard”, I had a three
week Lymes relapse, broke my toe next to my big toe on my left foot a week
before the wedding and got a head cold the day after the wedding. Through
everything there were only six days without moving my body. The worst part was
not being able to do planks for a week due to my toe. Planks are now back in my
life and from this point on I want to go further with my journey then I had
before “long yard” and wedding. I'm excited for “life back to normal” but even
better.
I have to give a update on my husband, Kevin. To say I'm
impressed would not be enough! Through 14 hour work days seven days a week for
11 weeks, he never broke! He is now 204 and wears a size 36. On May 1st,
he was 254 and wore a tight 40. Starting Monday I plan on going on the “Kevin”
diet for two weeks and see what all the magic is about.
Peace,
Panda
