Lily's First day of Kindergarten!

The day I've been dreading for months finally arrived. Lily started her first day of Kindergarten. I'm not as destroyed as I thought I'd be. Shed a few tears, get chocked up still when I think about it, but overall I'm excited she is going to school. I was lucky that the school she's attending has half days! That has helped me to be okay with her leaving me everyday.
She had a great first day, short, but she enjoyed it. She picked out her outfit to wear for day one. She said, ' the kids are going to see me and think, wow, who is that cool girl, I'd like to be her friend!' lol. Grammy came and Mark came along to see her off on her first day of school. I promised her I would not cry, but I chocked back tears several times. And after we picked her up, we celebrated with some Fogo.

I created the board last minute, cause I completely spaced it. Had Tina and Mark look it over and they did not notice anything wrong with it. Then post it on facebook and of course, someone points out the misspelling. Can't win with these things...FIRST, not Fist. One dang letter! lol, oh well, at least she looks cute :)

Bottom left pic is when she woke up in the morning for her first day. How crazy is that hair! Crazy hair the whole day! lol
I love my girl so much!

July 2017

 We started out the month packing and moving into our new home. We  are all settled in, and love our home. We also celebrated July 4th in Chandler, took a break from packing to enjoy some fire works and Bahama Bucks.

 Lily had her last day of The Little Gym. Since she is starting school and we live 45 min away, thought it was time to find a new place to play. She will miss her friends and her teacher Mr. Ralph who gave the best high fives.

 We've been enjoying the crazy weather, which also created a lake at the park down from our house. Lily was dying to go into the water...but yuck. the playground was totally flooded! luckily this is AZ and it dried up within days.

 Now that we are moved into the house, I can focus again on personal goals. We've started Macro counting, and have met with a trainer for body fat measurements so we can get an accurate count on our Macros. My goal is to reduce body fat percentage to 20%. At start of the month I was at 26%, four weeks later at 24%, so I'm losing about 2% every 4 weeks which is great for me! The biggest difference I've seen is my performance when I'm keeping to my Macros. I'm a lot faster and definitely stronger! I finally got my 120 lb clean and jerk, 285 lb deadlift and a 130 clean. The difficult park is not getting caught in a food rutt. We've been meal prepping every sunday, but this week I've not wanted to eat anything I've prepped! Need to focus on the goal and keep in mind it's helping.

I also participated in CFST july competition. We were randomly partnered with another participant. I had a lot of fun working with my partner, she did great. I love doing completions cause it's further motivation for me to improve my performance. Three workouts, I met my PR for clean and jerk, which was awesome. I love crossfit.
