Fall Hopping

**IN LOVE with Fall**

We did it! I will be leaving Steamboat on the 4pm flight tomorrow, satisfied we accomplished what we set out to. I cannot wait to go home and start spreading our message!!

As for now, I am going back to Manhattan Beach to experience fall at the beach. I am officially fall hopping the states.

Clean report: forgot to take some of my pills so my stomach wasn’t happy with me. Other than that, I think I am perkin’ up! Not nearly as sleepy… I even woke up before 9 today all on my own :)

The Final Countdown

Only two more full-days left in the 'boat :( I am always surprised how fast time slips by...

I am happy I can say we are still charging. Katie has been an amazing help thus far and I know we will get everything accomplished before Friday!

Clean Report: I have been a walking zombie. Not literally, but I seriously cannot believe how much I can sleep... Like 10 hour nights... My dreams have been fabulous though! All and all, the hunger is still low and everything else has been great. You should seriously get Clean!
