[Music]
so today we decided to go ahead and do
the Eugene run because yesterday we
needed to go to Costco and do all of
that so we went ahead and decided to go
ahead and do that today so I've been up
since 7:00 yeah since 7:00 but it took
me a while to get around my knee I think
I overdid it yesterday I'm like I'm
really having a hard time walking it
hurts so bad and then yesterday I don't
know what Esther got into but I ended up
having to put her in the bath last night
and I like leaned over to grab the soap
and I think I pulled my shoulder blade
muscle holy moly so this morning I woke
up and I was like okay between my knee
killing me and now my shoulder blaming
me what else is gonna hurt I'm just but
anyways so yeah we're just gonna go
ahead and run you guys all over the
place we're gonna run to Eugene do that
and then I don't know if we have
anything else planned today or not but
if we do then I will check in with you
guys I'll let you guys know and I'm also
gonna insert now my way in hello Twitty
[Music]
yes that means I am up two pounds but I
know what I clearly already know what
caused it
and I know where I need to fix it and so
when I get home we'll discuss more of
that because we're gonna get driving and
I'm the one driving so I don't want to
be videoing while I'm driving
not until I can get this thing taken
care of with my phone holder because
it's just it's in the wrong place and I
can't feel so anyways I will check in
with you guys a little bit we'll talk
about my weight gain and figure out the
next plan for this week
there's where my whole my phone holder
is but when my phone is up it blocks
that whole view so when I'm trying to
like turn and stuff I feel like I can't
see everything I need to see so I left
it up here for like if there's an
emergency and I need to get like on my
phone for some reason but for the most
part I'm not going to be using that
because it's just I don't feel it's it's
just it's in a safe place I need to find
something there was somewhere where I
can put it that's more of like a logical
place to put it which I thought about
somewhere putting it but see the thing
is is that April cat lady was telling me
about the getting the phone holders that
hook in here know if I can put my finger
in the right spot and it doesn't work
very well but then up here my dash is
not solid so those the sticky thing
doesn't want to stick on it so I don't
know my heart needs to be dusted so bad
so I don't know I have really nowhere to
really stick it so again if you guys
have any recommendations let me know
because I don't know I can also stick it
like people have had things up here but
how much does it get into your view
because also I have to think about
looking at garage isn't it bad and
actually that's been cleaned anyways or
Omar okay anyways so I'm just trying to
find out like
where I can put it that would be in a
safe place so any recommendations let me
know because I need to figure something
out because I like to videotape while
our vlog while I'm driving
so anyways okay I'll check in with you
guys okay so we have to stop we had to
pull over because all he was on the
freeway and he was driving really slow
which I thought was kind of weird
because he's usually the one that's like
driving like a bat out of hell so
literally like I have to drive faster to
keep up with him and today I was the one
driving faster than him so I was like
it's kind of weird and so I of course
stupidly passed him and get quite a ways
up past him and he calls me he's like
where are you at and I'm like I'm on the
freeway where do you think I'm at and
he's like no like where are you out on
the freeway I'm like I don't know like
why and he's like the car is overheating
I'm like are you serious so he had to
pull off somewhere else so he's at some
other exit I pulled off on the nearest
exit I could find one side he got you
know once he called me but that's the
thing about buying cars from auctions
they don't have to tell you if there's
something wrong with it so yeah now we
were just sitting here waiting for him
to let the cool the car cool down just a
little bit till he can at least manage
to get it here and then we'll go from
there I don't know my god I just can't
believe I had a weird feeling something
was up with the car like when we were
driving I just felt like when I was
watching him ahead of me it felt like
there was something wrong with it but I
was like I don't know it's not our car
don't get don't worry it's not our car
the car that I'm within is our family
car that car is good we're talking about
the car he just picked up that we he was
typically gonna put into our law and
sell but now what honey
Maya cares as a please Maya get her does
it now we're gonna have to do some work
on it before we can sell it cuz we won't
just we won't sell a car like that
so anyways okay be quiet Maya Oh more
sleeping so now we're just sitting here
waiting for him to get here
anyways hope everybody's having a good
day it's only 72 here thank God it's on
too hard cuz otherwise I'd probably die
there is clearly something wrong with
this exit because as my husband's broken
down a car pulls off the exit - you
don't get off and it breaks down - so
now there's two broken down cars
what is with us there's a car over there
and it's broken down - right there it's
broken down oh this is wonderful and we
called for a towing company and they
quoted us $400 I called three different
places and they were all $400 and they
were all anywhere from two and a half to
three hours of awaiting good times this
exit that we're on is like no look these
people got in a car accident
Wow I think it is a pretty for everybody
just to go to bed and yes so you all
know we're still actually I moved up a
little bit can you please give him a
check we have been stuck in this car for
four hours so my kids have like totally
had it and are ready to just call it a
day I am like way over had it and I am
definitely ready to call it a day so
with that we're calling it a day no
we're just waiting on the tow truck guy
to come he was an hour and a half out
so this moment's gotta go to the
bathroom this woman needs to go home and
get these kids out of the car so we are
home finally oh my gosh you guys you
have no no idea what we have gone
through today but all I can say is thank
God we are home so today started at once
that we were gonna go to Eugene we left
here at 10:00 and it takes about an hour
to an hour and a half max to get there
give or take if there's a little bit of
traffic but you know usually it doesn't
take us that long so we were supposed to
be there in back by 12:30 and then I was
like okay you know we can clean up the
house and you know I mean we could take
it slow because I woke up today and my
leg is killing me
it is throbbing so bad and it's my right
leg it's the leg that has been giving me
problems for a while I assumed it was
because of my weight which I still know
it has to do with that but it gets it
gets going better like it starts like
healing but then it will backtrack and
all of a sudden it will just start
hurting so bad all over again which is
just so crazy to me because it's like
you know I you would think that it would
be getting better at because I'm losing
weight but I think just you know walking
and using those muscles that you know
haven't been used for a while I think
that that it's just my my muscles are
upset they are upset they're throwing
tantrums they don't like what's going on
and they're just like we're gonna you
know we're gonna step up and we're gonna
tell you what we feel so with that my
knee has been so painful sorry you guys
I'm gonna be doing something I'm talking
to you guys so anyways we we took off we
got there we got the car and we started
to head back well I noticed that Ollie
was driving kind of slow on the freeway
I was like what is he doing like I he
never drives like this way I mean
usually it's me riding on you know
trying to catch up to him not the
opposite way and because I'm so like
cautious when I'm driving like I mean
I'm very high alert and anyways so I was
like hey he's just he's driving crazy
like he never drives this slow well we
were driving her idea even told Maya cuz
he was sitting in the front seat with me
I was like something's going on with
your dad's car because he never drives
us slow and
I got over to the fast lane thinking
that my husband would catch the drift to
like speed up get in front of me well my
husband's just a Dinkin along not paying
any attention to me
I'm flashing my brides trying to get his
attention and he is clearly just not
even noticing me and I'm thinking oh my
god the cars are coming up behind me so
I'm gonna have to speed up so now I'm
stuck because there's a car behind him
so I can't I can't get over either way
because there was a RV in front of him
there was a car behind him so I couldn't
get in between either one of the front
or back and there was a car coming up
behind me so I had to speed up because I
can't take you know my sweet time so I'm
like oh my gosh what is going on so
finally I took off because I was just
like okay whatever I guess he isn't
gonna pay attention well not more than
about we'll say five minutes later maybe
ten minutes later my phone rings and it
says hubby and I'm thinking holy hell
what happened so I answer him like hello
and he's like hey where you at and I'm
like I'm on the freeway where do you
think I'm at and he's like well I know
but where are you at like close to what
exit I'm like I don't know I'm in the
middle of exits I have no clue which one
I'm at I don't pay attention to him but
ready to get off and so I finally I find
an exit or like a coming up exit so I'm
like why I'm over here here here when I
tell him where I'm at and he's like okay
well I'm pulled off on the freeway on an
exit because the car was overheating I
was like are you serious
he's like unfortunately hmm yeah yeah I
am and I'm like oh my god I'm like okay
so know what he's like
honestly I don't know I don't know what
I'm supposed to do and I'm like oh this
does not sound like it's gonna start
like a great day I was like okay well we
have a few options here I can either get
off on the next exit
and wait and see if you can you know
figure out what's going on with the car
or I can come back to you I said you
tell me what you want me to do he's like
no just pull off and just wait I'll let
me see what I can do and then I will get
back with or you know I'll let you know
what's going on I like that's fine you
know that's fine it's not a big deal so
excuse my kids if you can hear them I
don't know what they're doing they they
okay well so that's gonna lead up to
telling you what what else was going on
so I pulled off and we're sitting there
sitting there sitting now now he told me
that the car had overheated so he was
gonna let it cool off for a little bit
and then it should start something he
can come back or like meet up with me
I'm like okay that's fine not a problem
so we do that and I'm sitting there and
he calls me and he says Amy now the car
won't start
I'm like oh my god you've got to
seriously be kidding me right now he's
like unfortunately no I'm not I'm not
kidding you whatsoever I'm like okay
hold on be on my way
so I get over to him I have to go back
so now I'm driving another 10 minutes
back towards where he's at so I find him
on the football and I'm like what
exerted on I don't know I just got off
on an exit I have no idea I'm like oh my
god I'm like okay so how am I supposed
to find you I don't know I'm so called a
freeway oh you've got to be kidding me
and in the midst of all this my kids are
screaming and crying right and I'm just
like okay did either I can make a good
seen a complete good experience out of
this or we could totally make this into
the worst experience ever I was like
well I'm gonna choose to make it the way
I can so I finally I find him as we're
driving on the freeway and I was like
dad's up there I could see his car with
the the hood open I'm like oh good so we
get off the freeway and I pull up to him
he's like Amy the car is just not
starting he's like but I talked to my
friend and
he said I need to put water in it I'm
like okay he goes but the problem is I
don't have any water I'm like yeah I
kind of see that now I have to try it
back
back to the exit I was at with the
mini-mart to go get water so we drive
another ten minutes back that way go get
the water come back another ten minutes
to get back to him he puts the water in
we're sitting there sitting there
sitting there a couple multiple people
had stopped to ask if we need help her
and stuff and just nothing was happening
with the car wasn't starting nothing so
I'm like okay well what are the next
step like are we gonna get it towed you
know I mean we can't obviously we can't
sit here for very long I mean it's gonna
get dark eventually we need to figure
out what we're doing he's like well
let's just wait a little bit longer
because it's the car starting to cool
off so let's just wait and see what
happens okay great
so we're sitting there and the car gets
off the freeway to make a left and the
guys car breaks down so now we have one
car on the left broken down and our car
on the right broken down and I'm
thinking oh my god this is great
and then it car pulls off of the freeway
and the whole back end is smashed in
because he just got into a car accident
I'm thinking okay we really need to get
out of this town like I really don't
like this area and I really don't like
this exit so we ended up sitting there
you guys for four hours because I did
eventually finally talk my husband to
let me call a tow truck and they were
all about $400 to get the car towed from
where we were at to where we live and
I'm just like oh I don't want to pay
$400 for a car I really don't it's not
even my vehicle so I kept calling around
finally I found one for 275 and I'm like
I'll take you I'll take you and he's
like well the only thing is that I can't
get to you for at least an hour to an
hour and a half and I'm like oh oh my
god I'm like okay all right I'll count
me down I'm here I'm not going nowhere
so I will take you so he finally shows
up an hour and a half later
then we have an hour drive home the
whole way home the kids were just grumpy
they just they were done they want to be
out of the car they had been in the car
seats pretty much the whole time I let
him finally get out there at the very
end for like the last half an hour
because I could not imagine them sitting
in their car seat for much longer their
legs were going to sleep
my legs my butt was hurting I was just
like okay we all but I couldn't let him
out because we're right next to the
freeway like there is nothing I could do
so the easiest I mean we weren't along
the freeway we were up off of the exit
but you know I mean there's nowhere to
go you can't let your kid just start
running around everywhere so the safest
thing for me was you know we lock the
doors of course and I just let them kind
of mosey around in the car and then we
got home and they're playing a game just
so you all know if you hear kids
screaming
that would be us she's trying to get her
point across to her brothers
anyways so we get home and I was just
like you know why oli I don't feel like
cooking I don't feel like waiting for
dinner let's just go ahead for the first
I this is the first time that we've
eaten eaten out like serious eating out
since I started my journey and so I was
like let's just go ahead and get Indian
food because I just I I mean I know that
it's pretty healthy - like the rice but
you know I mean they have basically
vegetables and meat and stuff okay
sorry had to go in uh investigate where
my child was crying he wanted a cookie
so anyways so I ended up going ahead and
having Indian food which was really
weird because as I was eating it I
barely ate anything and I was just like
okay I'm done I'm done so there was no
like guilty like it didn't feel bad for
me to eat it because I really did not
over eat anything that I shouldn't have
eat and like not that I shouldn't eat it
because I don't have restrictions of
what I can eat but the portions I was
able to control my portion which was
amazing because normally especially with
Indian food it's really hard for me too
because it's really one of my favorites
but I I stayed pretty true to my portion
size that I allow myself to have so this
week talking about my weight and where
I'm at this week I actually went up two
pounds and I wasn't very happy about it
I immediately started to judge myself
punished myself as in like just eat
grading myself like why there's no
excuse Dania and and there you know it's
not it's not okay no so acceptable for
me to lose weight to gain weight um I'm
not at any point in my body where like
my
my shape of amount of weight I have
enough to continue to keep losing I
should not be gaining and so I really
sat and I thought to myself like Amy
what did you do different this week than
you've done in any of your previous
weeks and honestly so this last week I
had two nights where I had taco salads
but my taco salads contained beans and
Holly made chips one of the nights baked
them and then another night he just
bought chips and then one night I had
the meat with the potato and the carrot
and stuff so right there is you know
three heavy dinners plus I had two
nights where I had tuna fish sandwiches
but I not only had one but there was
like so both those nights I had one one
of the days so the day that my mom was
here I didn't eat all day so when I
ain't dinner I ended up like two hours
later getting so hungry because my body
absorbed that mill so quickly that I was
hungry again like all over like I hadn't
eaten all day so I ended up having
another tuna fish sandwich so right
there I had to basically two tuna fish
sandwiches for dinner huh although I
didn't eat all day but that probably
right there triggered my body um I did
quite a bit of more snacking this week
than I have in previous weeks yesterday
I found myself where we when we went to
Costco and I think I showed you guys the
chocolate chip cookies that we got the
kids yeah I dipped into him and I ended
up having two and then like couple hours
later s4 was eating one she didn't want
the other half so I ate it so I really
think I mean I pretty much can except
where I went wrong
and what I need to fix so this week you
know like the moving and stuff I don't
think I can really push myself much
harder to move as much as I have been
because of my knee
um but I'm doing the best I can with my
movement I cannot do the bike right now
and I will not do the bike right now
because I'm not gonna put you know like
put myself in a position where I could
hurt my knee more because to begin with
the bike cos would hurt my knee so I
don't want to put myself in that
position where because I I know that
potentially could really mess my knee up
um but I can do some city and exercises
which I'm planning to do and then show
you guys what I'm doing and then layer
out my are like lower down the snacking
because honestly and that's where I
think I kind of triggered myself this
week is I have not been the last
probably like probably last three to
four weeks I haven't been like really
hungry throughout the day so the
snacking really shouldn't be happening
but because we had extra snacks in the
house this last week I use that as a
crutch I guess to lean on and to partake
in I had you know the issue the
situation was my mom happened and then
ended up that night I end up binging
because why I was so frustrated and I
didn't eat all day that by the nighttime
I just benched Plus every night this
week I've had chocolate pudding so I
really kind of dipped myself out this
week like this last week and it showed
it showed definitely showed I'd gained
two pounds it's two pounds a lot no it's
not and it's easy to get off but I don't
want this to start a new train of action
of oh well okay so I gained two pounds
this week okay what is two pounds we can
get away with a little bit of snacking
will lower down a little bit but we
could study with it oh I only gained a
pound that's not bad no like that's
totally not no I'm not okay with that
so this week I'm pushing pushing pushing
for the movement continuing to happen
you know knock out the the snacks 100
at this point because they don't meet
them and I don't you know have a
wholesome breakfast my wholesome lunch
and my wholesome dinner and call it a
day but my dinners are gonna consist of
my salads because that's what I truly
like I need to clean my body back out
again of all the things that I stuffed
in it this week and get myself back up
on track again so anyways that's kind of
where I'm at this week as I did go up
two pounds but we're gonna get him off
and I'm not gonna feel bad about it I'm
not gonna Sauber in it it's not
something that devastates me it just
shows me that hey I am getting a little
bit too lenient on my you know on my
allowances that I'm allowing myself to
have I'm still in a phase where I'm very
much a risk of binging and a risk of
backtracking to past things that I did
for coping mechanisms and I don't want
that so with that excuse me with that I
just really have to use caution as I'm
going through my day that I remind
myself you know and check in okay Amy
are you wanting this beef jerky stick
because you're hungry or are you wanting
it because it sounds good and you know
it's in the cupboard and so you can have
it and that's kind of where I'm at so
anyways other than that we just had a
very long very long day and I am ready
to but that gets to bed
watch a little bit of youtube try and
catch up on all of my messages that I've
gotten and I have gotten some new
subscribers today so welcome in I am so
happy to have you guys and let's
continue the positivity you guys let's
continue to show forth our strength and
embrace everybody that comes through
this channel encouragement encouragement
courage mint even if it's someone that's
a sour plum keep the smile on let's not
take the time to argue with negativity
it's not worth it
but we can definitely encourage those
sour plums to
change and you know that's all we can do
but let's continue to embrace the
positivity that this channel has and
what we all promote for it because I
think that a lot of people are seeing
this channel being more of a positivity
than anything else and that's what I
want it to continue to be so anyways I
