Short Speal

So today I finally got to go pick up my degree. As some of you know I had a huge issue getting my transcripts in last week so Im so happy thats finally dealt with and Im officially done with school. But I just wanted to write something here real quick. Over the last 4 years Justin has been amazing with school. He has always been mso supportive of me. He has come to classes with me on leave, come to the library with me to study, read papers, listened to problems, Ive talked to him about things I am learning in class and he is really interested. He has always told me how lucky I am to go to college and whenever he came to school with me he said he loved it there. He really has been the most supportive person in my life with school and I couldnt do it without him. I cant say enough how grateful I am for everything he has done. I know that I have been equally supportive to him over the last 3 years. Since the day he left for boot camp, Ive always been here for him. Through bootcamp, SOI, 2 deployments and everyday life at Lejeune. These last 3 years have been so hard. We have been apart for way too long. This saturday is our 1st wedding anniversary and we have been apart this first year of marriage. It has not been easy. But September 1st Im moving, we are finally going to be together. And these last few years have been a test. I think we are stronger than we could ever be as a couple. We have made it thru so much together, have supported eachother through everything and in October we finally get to be together again! He will be home safe and for good and I will be done with school. Finally 2 life goals checked off our list and the hardest 3 years of our lives behind us!!

Making Progress

Finally starting to make some progress in deployment goals. First, I have saved a decent amount of money so far and Im working the next week straight so hopefully that will be more money to put in the bank. but aside from that, I am 3lbs lighter than when I started working out again. Not a huge number but definitely a start. Now I just need everyone to help keep me motivated. Justin called yesterday and he always motivates me so I got that going to a few days but I will definitely need all your help in a few days. I hope everyone is having a good weekend! How are are you girls on your goals? Seeing other peoples progress definitely inspires me. Now off to work in my easy tones.

Bedtime

I am exhausted so this is going to be short, but I wanted to stick with blogging so I have to get it done. Today was a nice day at the beach and I had a tough cardio workout tonight. Im sore and tired but it feels great. I have a lot of work to do over the next 3 months but I know if I stick to it like I have been, it will be worth the pain. I hope everyone is sticking to their goals and have a great weekend! Justins Platoons Sat phone is finally fixed after a month of having a broken one so I have my fingers crossed for phone calls closer than 2 weeks at a time! Night all!

Yoga is no Joke!

So after a 2 month haitus from blogging, I am finally back. I have just had so much going on and this deployment is just taking such a mental toll on me mentally the last thing I want to do after a long day is come home and write. But I am trying hard to get back on track with my deployment goals. We have already reached the halfway mark and are on a steady track to homecoming. So now its time to work on my fitness goals and stick by them. So I really would like to lose 15lbs before Justin gets home. That would be my ideal weight. Eating habits have become some what of an issue. I work in a restaurant and it is soooo hard not to pick at food the whole time I am working. So this weekened I am going to bring healthy snacks to eat. Fruits, Pretzels nuts, etc. I have 5 new workout dvds I have been doing the last 3 nights. They are all very different which helps stay on track because I am not doing the same workout day after day. I have one Jillian Michaels dvd which is very hard. Then I have 4 Biggest Loser dvds. The thing about these DVDs is there are 3 levels on each. Level 1 is 20 minutes, Level 2 is 15 and Level 3 is 10. So What happens is you start off doing level one and when you feel comfortable you add on level 2 if that makes any sense. They are fun so far. Tonight I tried the Weight Loss Yoga dvd. And let me tell you my arms are almost too sore to type. It was a 35 minute Yoga workout and I was using my arms the entire time. And I was being held in plank position for a very long long time. It did make me feel good after. For about 45 minutes after I felt very tingly. And my whole body was shaking which is a good thing during yoga. I definitely worked every muscle in my body. So for now that is whats going on in my life. I have been so stressed lately with random things but the fact of the matter is, Justin is the light at the end of this tunnel, and homecoming is coming faster than I expected. More than halfway there!
