The Last Leg of our Tour


We ended up staying at an RV “Resort” in New Mexico, and it was really nice, what they called a spa was a hot tub outside, had a few desert creatures floating in it.  Beatles, Grasshoppers, and a few others I did not recognize.  We pulled in after the office was closed, luckily the wi fi and Sattelite TV worked, but we didn’t have access to the showers or “spa.”  There were not that many RV’s there, and it looked really cool as the sun was setting, beautiful colors while we were having chicken, cooked in our oven on the RV, sitting outside at a picnic table.  Literally it’s a house on wheels, we took showers, had the TV on, and went to bed with our slides open, the AC was perfect, I think it’s the best sleep I had the whole vacation.  Interesting fact - Our RV is 40 foot, and the entertainer busses that you see celebrities and musicians tour in are 45 feet.

I was thinking that if we had camped in a state park it would have been more of a social experience, but I feel we got the woodsy feel at my brother’s house.  Here it was more about relaxing at “home,” after a long journey, nobody was out of their RV’s, it was a quiet and dark night.

This morning we all dipped into the Jacuzzi, it was warm, turn the jets on, my daughter splashed on the edge and Eli Tzvi and I floated about pushing bugs out of the way, I was telling him not to mind the beetle and grasshopper sitting on the edge, they weren’t bothering us and we didn’t need to bother them.  Matisyahu slept soundly in his travel bassinet in the shade, I swear everything else is an effort, he is just a happy, chill baby – I wish everyone to experience a baby like this.  I think the universe gave me a gift after my independent and intense older two.  Matisyahu literally means Gift from God.
It was so awesome having a professional trucker at the wheel, on the way there 17 hours per day, on the way back we took it easy with 12 hours per day, and a stop at an RV park - so happy to be home

We are in the home stretch my friends, I am excited to jump back into my life, and ready to get to work on my goal of losing 30 pounds by 40 in October.  I feel like this was a cleansing trip, since it was so hot, I did not eat non stop as I usually do with nursing.  I choose healthy snacks dairy, nuts, fruit, what I think is that I just had less of everything.  I lost 5 pounds on this trip, maybe I should write a book “how to lose weight on your vacation” LOL

I officially go back to work from maternity leave in July which is around the corner, and I am going to jump into my workouts full on.  It is 80% Nutrition which gets you healthy, but adding the 20% Exercise gets you level 10 results – lets go! Who wants level 10 results?
