Good afternoon!!!! Happy Thursday! I'm back to blogging today after a very long Wednesday here. I am pretty tired today. Yesterday was pretty much a blur. The internet was down here at work, so I wasn't able to do my usual blog post when I would normally do it. Then we had a meeting after work at 7:30 so I didn't get back to my room until 9:30ish (actually closer to 9:45).
I'm still doing very well... I had another fantastic workout yesterday (and one the day before, too)... and I am leaving to go have another as soon as I finish writing here!!! Do you sense a pattern??? Why yes... I LIKE working out!!! Amazing, isn't it??? But it's true. I used to absolutely hate it. But sometime between "I hate working out" and tipping the scales at significantly bigger than 250 my thought process changed. Once I had a girl tell me I looked like Homer Simpson!!!! Now if that's not motivation I don't know what is!!!! I wasn't even at my heaviest back then... I was only about 235 or 240. I'm currently sitting squarely at 225 and unable to get the scale to budge. I figure my workouts will pay off soon, though, and when I least expect it I will start seeing the pounds drop. My diet has kind of fell off the wagon, so to speak, since I got here. There is food available... and lots of it! I'm working right now on cutting back my portions... simply because I think that's what's thrown my body into "maintain" mode. I'm just taking in too many calories, and rather than losing weight... my workouts are just balancing it at zero. The bright side to it is... I'm not gaining! Then I would be upset. :) I've worked far too hard for far too long to allow myself to start gaining again. That's for sure!
So as I sit here... it's already Thursday in another week in the desert that's absolutely a blur! I think it's time that I find something more to do while I'm here now that I'm getting close to the 2 month point of my deployment. I am going to find a couple college courses to take as soon as we get the move over with... may not happen utnil after the holidays (the classes that is)... but that's one of my goals here, and I will fulfill it. I am also going to do a few of the fun things around the base a little more often... go to the movies... maybe hit the pool while it's still open... go to karaoke night at the rec center on Saturday... or bingo night on a Sunday... another poker night perhaps... there are other things, too... I found out Trace Adkins is coming here pretty soon. I definitely would enjoy that! The opportunities are there and readily available if you seek them out. :)
Well... it's about that time... the gym is calling me... yup... there's the phone ringing... Jim... come to the GYM!!!! I'm not sure if it's a running day or an elliptical day, but either way it will be a good workout! Oh and one more thing... my sister said I never mention her in my blog... so everyone say "HI TINA!!!!" That will make her day! :)
Peace, Love, and Poker
