Challenge

This past week has been a real challenge for me. Last Friday I finished up packing my house and as I sit here in another hotel room all my belongings are sitting in Dallas waitng for me.

I've been on the road since last Saturday. I flew to Tampa for a wedding and spent about 5 hours sitting in the Denver airport. We had several delays.

I had a great weekend once I finally got to Tampa. I met some really great people. I was able to spend a bit more quality time with Todd's daughters who are very cute by the way. We enjoyed a fun day at Bush Gardens.

I flew back to Iowa on Tuesday and spent the night before heading out Wednesday morning for Chicago. I will be in Chicago with Todd and my daughters until Friday or Saturday. Then it will be a long drive to Dallas. We should be in Dallas late Saturday night.

To be honest I just want to go home..It seems weird cause right now I feel homeless. I've been living in a hotel since last Saturday in 3 different states and still haven't been to my new home. I don't really like this feeling of being in limbo.

I'm also trying to get ready for a figure contest in September and this has been hell on my body. I haven't worked in over a week. I'm having a hell of a time getting all my cardio and training in. My body is actually shutting down and I've been feeling sluggish and sick. I'm sure some of this is nerves on learning a new place, starting a new job, and the stress of moving just plain catching up with me. My diet has been off for a week. I'm missing meals and some of them have not been the greatest.

I'm having doubts about competing. If I will be ready. I guess I just take it one day at a time and see how I do. My trainer will let me know.

In the mean time I just want to go home.
