Whats for breakfast?
I posted that we have been cleaning up our food, this is my typical breakfast.
Note: I use organic coconut oil for my healthy fats and cooking.
Too hot....
It has been so hot lately, that I haven't taken my camera or my video camera to document the events that have happened at the racetrack. I have been in two ladies challenge since the first one semi final and 1 and running up in another.
The days when it's beautiful enough for the guys to race has been ridiculously hot. its not comfortable for anybody even with the fan going it just makes for a miserable day. Seems like from that you get up in the morning you're like a robot just walking around and doing what you're supposed to do to get day done to make sure that my husband drives as safe as accurate as possible.
This coming weekend is my birthday and it marks in age from me that is all most difficult for me to accept.
I have thought about it and decided that I need to get my butt in gear and start eating correctly from my health if I haven't ruined it already. So my husband and I have been walking every other day at least two miles or more. we have been choosing the right things to eat and so far he has lost 10 pounds and I've lost 6 & a half. We both have many more to lose but instead of just losing weight we are going to start building muscle gaining endurance and getting healthy at the same time. This was a challenge this weekend in the RV. we had to make sure that when we took food it wasn't just your normal slap on the grill and hurry up and eat it and go food.
I took cut peppers and fruit for when I was feeling snacky. he mixed up a big huge bowl of tuna fish.
And for our first night of dinner we had a recipe cold Chipotle bacon chicken. which I was able to make in the crock pot. I got the recipe of a website called paleopot.com. I have eliminated grain pasta flower rice and processed food from our diet. so its not that easy when you go to the drag strip and the concession stand has nothing but processed fried and marinated in whatever they can find food.
My ultimate goal is to be healthy and feel beautiful and feel comfortable in comfortable clothes and not has to worry about what blubber is showing beneath the clothes when I walk when we go to Punta Cana Dominican Republic next year. we have saved up for a number of years a little bit each month and we finally got enough or we can go pamper ourselves on the beautiful white sand beaches of Punta Cana. we have been there before so we already know we love it. More on that later.
hubby made it down to six cars yesterday and as we were packing up to leave it started to rain. and it brought in some wonderful cool air. so on the way home we open the windows in the RV and it felt beautiful.

After a very scary ride home.....
The picture is of the lights you use as a guide going over Afton mountain when a very dense fog sets in. They are orange and help you get down the mountain safely. Hubs slowed way down, and all I could see was white fog, so dense 5 feet in front of the coach was a sheet of white..... like a ghost had swallowed us. I was very concerned, but hubs took it slow and we made it through.
I Dont think it would have been so bad had if we didn't have a 35 foot trailer behind our rig. So super slow was the only way to go. The person we were traveling with said he was a nervous wreck while he was driving through there, but made it safely as well. As soon as some pics are posted of the race I will post them, but for now I am unpacking washing clothes and re stocking for our next adventure :).

Test and Tune Wednesday Bristol
we set up camp wednesday night and thursday i had the front of the motorhome all decked out with lantern light along the front, and someone told hubby that there was a weather cell coming through so we clipped the zip ties took down my lanterns........no storm, no nothing.
So Today after a wonderful Red light by hubbs, losing 1st round, I have retired to the coach and am marinading chicken, and chilling in the air conditioning. we have had fun so far and I will hang onto the "fun" parts of this. Drag racing is not for every one, but hubs loves it and I love some parts of it, it would be better if I were racing though...lol.
