I've made some big changes (RV Life)

What's up y'all so it's been a while since I've actually done a video like this and what do I mean by this well last time I did a video kind of talking to you guys this is a while back I think we're in Navajo Lake I opened up to you guys there about some health situations that I had that were a little alarming to me um what we thought a stroke scare that ended up put me in the hospital they did all kinds of tests CAT scans I didn't find anything and so it drew me to want to get on a healthier lifestyle both for mentally and physically and it wasn't just for me but also for Dave so we just pulled into this beautiful campground here in Boulder City Nevada and it's the last time we were here we were gosh I can't remember it was a while ago we checked out some of the most beautiful spots around here but anyway to give you an update in terms of what's been going on with me I figured let me just power through this let's go outside for a little walkie-poo it's a really nice day Dave's getting the bikes off right now so I want to give you like an update in terms of what's been going on let me first start off by saying I have been feeling great Dave has been feeling great since that last video which was sometime over the summer we really have taken steps towards a healthier lifestyle we're getting out exercising more not gonna say we always eat the right things all the time but we're eating right most of the time and I think that for me has changed the game in terms of how I've been feeling my energy mentally we're actually been taking a little bit more time to ourselves to really kind of enjoy and embrace life and you know a lot of folks don't actually get that opportunity for whatever reason so we take one day at a time but we try and make it the best one day at a time that we can so we're at this nice little campground here called Canyon Trail RV Park in Boulder City and why we're here is because they really have some great little trails if you're looking for biking last time we were here we actually biked to Hemingway Park which is known for its wild goats the longhorn sheeps if you will and we did some really great things but we couldn't explore off the beaten path because of the type of bikes that we have so I am really excited today because we're going to be able to hit this sort of railroad pass the tunnels that are known for biking and I think you know a certain style of bike can do that so we're really excited because Dave's right now taking off the new bikes but we got to get a move on I'll tell you more about the bikes and where we're heading and all the good vibes and feelings that I've been having lately anyway let's get biking oh right over there is actually a pool not heated and I think we might be doing a polar plunge I want to try and convince Dave to do that but there is a hot tub and I end up speaking with this nice gentleman by the name of Doug who said I think you're probably going to want to have the hot tub turned on oh and I do love the fact that there's a restrooms close by right here what part right over there so it's actually getting later in the day so we may alter those plans to head to the railroad trail we'll see I'm feeling kind of adventurous I got a big flashlight my back and we got our new bikes you guys new bikes what do you think yeah these are cool they're electric x peaks and uh yeah first time trying them I'm excited yeah me too I've been wanting to try a mountain bike electric mountain bike for a long time so it's cool and I know we had the biggest thing for us with not being able to extend where we want to go is the type of bikes that we had before which were the lighter bikes although they were amazing for like here and there on the streets this is kind of a combination of both and so I it's getting windy and it's also getting late so enough talking get the bike in you ready I'm ready let's do it turn it up let me see you rock let me see you rock first time first time here we go oh oh look at them oh look at that need for speed I'm coming up on you oh I'm already feeling the power of this bike I'm telling you look at that pedal that strut is going I love that it's got we got options to change gears so we can switch between manual oh I think this is gonna be great I'm feeling it already baby it's so smooth it's actually I think we're gonna love them I think we're gonna love them once you get used to them that throttle was a big find on your part I'm like there's no throttle oh I have to say oh my gosh the power the smoothness I feel like going over bumps now my butt doesn't hurt yeah so smooth and so much power going up going uphill yeah huge power oh my god so even riding on grass feels like riding on velvet it's like all right I'm gonna follow you go this is where the sheep I don't see any sheep poop they haven't been around yeah this is cool here oh man that says it all right there I mean I feel like that was absolutely nothing we could have gone oh yeah much further I think it's getting kind of dark I know we started a little bit late unfortunately we don't have the sheep so I think if we can try and get up early now it's supposed to rain tomorrow so if it doesn't rain or even if it does we'll see maybe a good test on a little wet roads yeah but it's raining too much yeah for sure yeah but I feel great I feel like my energy levels have been high I'm really excited to do more of these outdoor sports with you yeah biking is one of them and I gotta give a big thank you so electric bike they actually knew we were getting healthier and on a great journey and they knew we had the the lights and the light bikes were the ones that took us to where we needed to go but not far enough so they sent us these xp to try out and I have to say I'm loving them I know it's a first time trying them but so far so good got some pepper in the stepper hi baby so we gotta get back sun's coming down now let's go back get some food yeah I got a nice supper planned for us tonight y'all know I got some good stuff on the menu for tonight we'll see you back there it's getting dark and I don't know how good the camera lighting is this particular one but I can't express Dave and I were just having this talk how to get that energy to get those endorphins moving is I don't know it's game changing good for the mind it's good for the body good for the soul and I am so proud of us I'm so proud of us for taking this initiative to get a little healthier and uh in all ways it doesn't mean I'm giving up popcorn just not gonna have it as much as I used to that was perfect yeah that's what it's made for oh it took that bump no problem oh my gosh well that was so much fun I just love biking with Tanya and I just want to say about Tanya she is working so hard just in everything and really getting herself back into shape as well she's inspiring not only herself and others but also me and pushing me to be better and to get out there and exercise as well and so I would love it if you guys would go and just leave a comment below to Tanya just tell her hey you know you're doing a great job you know stay at it give her a thumbs up but just don't tell her I I suggested it but it would be great she loves reading the comments it's so funny every time I get cracking I'm about to like took out all my ingredients for dinner this young man right here always needs to get his snack so he knows the refrigerator opens he's got to have a snack right Bobby a snacky poo yep he's got to have a snacky poo one more snacky poo so what is for dinner tonight well before I can get into that I have a question for you you know is it just me I feel like after a workout and you want to just get really cozy and comfy I just put like extra baggy clothes on I have like a sweatshirt some baggy sweatpants I just feel like it's just really my style of loungewear is it just me I mean especially ladies let me know do you guys get really extra comfy when it's time to get comfortable I'm talking extra comfy because I'm I'm feeling extra comfy right about now so back to what is for dinner well for dinner we're having it's gonna be sort of a corn tortilla soft soft taco kind of night you know so I actually have marinated some nice beef in here good seasoning sort of fajita make nice little special rubs in there and just it's been kind of soaking and sitting that's kind of the base simple closed law and we have this is fresh I like that crunch that comes along with it um the tortillas I'm gonna drop them in after the meat cooks so I can kind of get some of the flavors of the meat into that tortilla so just lightly kind of warm them up in the skillet and then we have some green sauce salsa verde boom boom boom so it's like a creamy salsa verde um we have an avocado we're gonna slice up nicely into that real thin slices into there so just really sort of healthy avocados are gonna fill us up but then after dinner what is the plan I still haven't told dave yet but or I think we're going into the uh pool area so yeah we're gonna jump in the pool hopefully the hot tub is warm well since I have to wait for the meat to do its thing in the skillet what do you think I should do you guys what do you think oh yeah oh I think you're right the next best thing pop open some wine and it's an actual wine that we've never tried before it's maybe it's a french wine well let's see nice red I think that'll go nice for tonight so let's crack that open that's gonna go amazing every night it's gonna be perfect I figured I'd put some wine in your system I'm gonna have a question for you after uh dinner what could this question be cheers now the tortilla shells I'm gonna leave that delicious layer of juice and a little bit of the fat from the beef so I'm just gonna put them right in there one at a time actually I can probably throw two just in the skillet just get it a nice I don't want them too hard because then you can't fold them that should be nice little avocado little crunchy coleslaw on top and uh I know I know I know you're gonna love it Dave I know you're gonna love it how you doing over there with that wine wine is good I'm definitely gonna love it I'm definitely gonna love it I knew you were cheers to a great night love you what'd you say it's my amazing wife oh thank you that's my incredible husband I love you are you ready I'm ready let's do it right what do you think nice crunch that's really good that's perfect after a bike ride I'm starving too this is like really good I love it all the flavor of the steak the sauce is really nice too they put on there that's giving the avocado all the creaminess of the avocado wow that's good you nailed everything in there it all just marries nicely together like us baby take one more sip of wine I have a question for you oh here it comes here it comes trouble everything's going so well it still is amazing so I was talking with Doug yeah who's uh the groundskeeper here yeah and he turned on the hot tub for us oh wow yeah that's a good question but um before we get into the hot tub oh that's a different question it's like 40 something here it comes I knew it it's tradition I guess we're starting to become a new tradition I think you want to go jump in the pool first and this and this is not a this is not a heated ball no it's not heated see I knew this I knew I was in trouble does that mean yes well there's only one answer and that's yes here we are once again back for another episode of polar plunge meets hot tub starring Tanya and Dave are you ready are you ready are you ready for a polar plunge there's the pole the pole is nice and cold and refreshing look at that pole oh this is really hot ah this is really hot oh it's really hot oh it's hot feels good doesn't it oh my gosh this is amazing I feel like today was a great day I really have to say I enjoyed riding our bikes oh yeah as a matter of fact oh my gosh they're living the first time experience on the bikes with us no exactly no so forgive us we're just kind of uh just things just kind of coming to us naturally right I really think it's just how we're experiencing the bikes and and so far it's been so much fun yeah I had some confidence as they're going over like bumps I felt a lot more confidence on certain bumps than I would on say my the lights right a little bit and I feel like the larger the larger wheels of the power totally different experience yeah well this is a great way to end the night right oh man I'm ready to soak these muscles and fall asleep right here exactly love you love you baby good morning well the day right now doesn't look too bad at least in some places you can see this way it actually looks pretty nice now over this way the clouds definitely darker we're gonna go for it we're gonna take the bikes out and try to get to those railroad tunnels they're about six miles away we think we'll get there pretty quickly and these we want to check them out for sure and also see how the bikes do good morning hi Bobby are you gonna help me make the bed Bobby Bobby you're gonna help me make the bed Bobby yes you are and Bailey's just kind of right over there sleeping hi Bailey you sleeping still she's like I'm in the perfect spot so you don't have to disturb me because I'm trying to get some shut eye this morning that is definitely a little colder today than it was yesterday while we're getting closer I feel it so we're trying to just make sure we're in the right direction so Dave's kind of pulling up on a little gps and as we're kind of descending we're still on the descent it looks like it's definitely kind of an overcast day but there are some promising skies off in the distance but I feel good I wish I knew I feel good all right baby found a map yeah that's a good map so we're at the start of the pacifica way trailhead and we're gonna take this until we get the historic railroad trailhead right on the right path on the right path mead from this perspective and if you kind of look you can really see right over there just how low it is I mean wow almost like the docks look at the docks they have to go out probably even further just to be able to uh dock but unbelievable those bathtub rings are it's so scary to see how much has decreased over the years and you just hope and pray that we can get that back because without that a lot of places will be in trouble including las vegas it's definitely a fun bike ride here going through the tunnels now these tunnels were built they had a railroad essentially that would go from boulder city hoover down which I believe was there was basically built when they were actually building hoover down to get all the equipment there you guys know any more details about it let us know in the comments below but what do you think babe I love it I think it would have been great to have a pack a little lunch sit right here and just enjoy the views I think on a clear day it would be phenomenal like a clear sunny day even though it's sad to see the water levels drop I just think having a little lunch here even down further it's just amazing it's so quiet and road less travel exactly sometimes the road less traveled is the best road traveled oh my goodness this is absolutely amazing it is really cool just kind of trucking through just imagine the work that went into actually building these tunnels I know holy cow I know oh my god it's unbelievable we just saw a couple folks doing a little hiking trail that this can actually take you all the way down towards the hoover dam and I had asked them because during certain times of the year sort of the Mexican bats make their way here right um and I asked if they've seen any and they're like uh no right yeah they say apparently a may to october let's come back and see if we can find some I think that'd be fun to see that I mean I can see those little grooves where they could actually just kind of it looks peaceful yeah some of these ones it looks like the park service may be afraid of it probably to uh add some additional support yeah you're probably right this is so cool you know the challenging part right now we're just wrapping up here got these beautiful railroad pass tunnels and the challenging part is going to be heading back Dave and myself we didn't use much of the pedal assist because it was a lot of downhill because we're going to be heading back which is almost six miles back and it's basically incline and the bikes are pretty heavy so they're about 75 pounds each so I'm going to have to do a little balance between pedal assist and manual assist if you will but I think we got this I'm excited to see um my confidence level is definitely on and you got it nice job nice job on uphill yes hit the corners you're flying nice job babe thumbs up you did it oh my gosh right almost what 15 yeah we did just over 15 miles I think and I still have like half a tank I know look at it it's kind of funny how it's showing now like full right but it's really down a couple bars like two or three bars about a little under a little about half a tank maybe a little over which is still pretty awesome we did a lot of uphill yeah but I pedal assist like a little bit and then manually try to take over where I was yeah you're working hard my legs are like jello right now I need some agua and uh we have a fun event coming up we got to get to so media day yes it's time to pack it up pack up media day for uh super bowl coming into town yeah let's go let's hit it let's do it now I know this might sound a little like a little shameless self-promotion but we've been riding electric bikes for years and they've been really great to us over the years and I have to give a big shout out and thank you to electric bike for giving us these bikes so that we can actually take our fitness and health journey to the next level I didn't know what to expect honestly first time riding them but I honestly am hooked on them and I feel like I feel more comfortable riding them I was watching Dave he seems extremely comfortable riding them I was worried about it being really heavy I'll just be honest um but it didn't even dawn on me as much riding the bikes because of the pedal assist the speed the gears for us it just works really well and if you're curious about any of those bikes now we do have a link below you can click that and I think the bikes right now a little over 500 in savings so you know I think 500 bucks off uh on their site right now but if you want we have a link in the description box below if you're an electric fan if you already have electric bike let us know what kind you have and you know what do you like and what don't you like about them I'd
