90 day go hard (THE REFLECTION) Part 1 ( LA Story)

     In journaling the 90 day go hard workout I realized I should follow-up with a reflection, because there was a lot going on in that 90 days and I think it's interesting to see what developed. The idea for journaling the 90 days came from the fact that for one reason or another we weren't consistent the first time we tried. This being the second time we tried I wanted to keep up with it to see what the reason was for the lost of focus. 

Week 1: The beginning of the journey we were supposed 2 go hard working out for 90 days. I really don't even want to tell you how we stayed consistent for a week😒 During week 2 the best way I can explain what happened is to say that we allowed ourselves to be emotionally side tracked, for two entirely different reasons. We were not on the same page at all, I am going to blame the fact that we didn't plan out our move to California. My mental health just caused us to run away from Philadelphia, to put it lightly because the walls were closing in on me,  it was the husband that suggested LA! 

Week 3: Things got crazier someone stole my $3,000 e-bike which was on loan for $85 a month and was never supposed to be outside, I only had it two months. I think the drug addicts we were living with had something to do with it. Hubby's bike was stolen like two weeks after we moved to Santa Monica. It wasn't as salty when they took his because the motor was broken and we hadn't ridden it, in a few months anyway. 

Week 4: During this week I took two weeks off work 2 support my husband in the selling of his art. It was really fun but we didn't have a way to get our stuff to and from the beach without an 1hour and a half walk from Santa Monica to Venice pulling a heavy cart in the beating sun. So we again weren't consistent and something had 2 change. 

Week 5: I took my ass back 2 work, selling art will be my side hustle. We made money but not enough 2 pay a rent or mortgage. It is a good hustle and I will be able 2 see what it's like this summer for a full spring/summer/fall because we have a storage unit that is a few blocks from Venice Beach so it's much easier for us 2 transport our goods.

Week 6 & 7: In these two weeks we were told we had to move from the room we were staying in 2 the  garage. Due to the son of the person we were staying with coming back. It was a two week lapse in rent because we stopped working to sell art and that didn't work out right. I thought it was because of that, I then found out that they expected us to pay $1,200 a month for renting the garage. I figured since this was my husbands family when they did that they were expecting us to leave. So I told my husband I wasn't paying that much for a garage with no privacy and a bunch of stuff in it. So I would be saving my money for a security deposit. He was to let his "family" know this. Meanwhile I made a list of all the possibilities that were in my path. 

I used to make scrap books to keep up with my life, because I didn't want 2 forget anything lol imagine that!

We're not in LA N-E-More XII

     My phone is fixed! It was broke for about two weeks, I kinda broke it myself out of frustration & it was right before Christmas. So that meant no Christmas, New years or any Holiday pics. I was a little sad at first that I couldn't post on social media but after a while I found peace in enjoying activities & not worrying about pictures or footage. I visited my son for Christmas in Upstate NY for two days, Then I went to visit my God mom for a couple days dropped her off some gifts. I went to visit my God children & my God granddaughter that was fun. My God grand daughter is two years old and my God daughter & God son asked her if she wanted to sing head shoulders, knees & toes. She said no but they decided to sing it anyway to see if she would get into it. She didn't & after they finished the song all enthusiastically this little girl with her little baby voice said " Nobody asked for all that!" My husband & I busted out laughing ...

Surviving LA part II

  As the LA housing search continues...      We found ourselves on the streets & out of money for a couple weeks due to the Beverly Hills swindle & the cost of staying in hotels. On day one on the streets, we both worked a night shift and spent the day sleeping in our storage unit, Day 2 was the Santa Monica/Venice beach night, sleeping in our tent & fighting a serious wind till the morning. On day 3 we fought with the wind again more severe in our tent at the Venice Graffiti walls on the beach & lost. We dramatically packed up fighting the wind the whole way & ended up camping not too far away in Penmar park. The good thing about this was that they had a bathroom available.       The hauk was out too that night it was so cold, I thought I was gonna die from hypothermia. I don't even know how I made it through the night. All I know is that I was not prepared for this! The universe carried me into day 4 & we both again worke...
