Ship Shape

I have a few main goals to accomplish while my husband is deployed, and one of those goals is shared by many other military wives with deployed husbands...

To look good when they come home.

and for some it turns out well... but for others, much like myself, its easier said than done.

You see, if your anything like me, you get in these kicks of "ok i'm gonna do it this time, i'm gonna stick to my workout plan and my diet" but those don't last very long... for me they last about 2 weeks and then I start slacking... BADLY.


I have come to learn that the best diet for me isn't necessarily to change WHAT I'm eating but to change HOW MUCH I'm eating. I've found that i need to keep eating what i usually eat, just don't eat until I'm full, especially if its that super uncomfortable kind of full, I need to eat just enough to leave myself just a little bit hungry... this makes your body think its still hungry so it will start using up fat in your body without putting it into starvation mode which slows down your body's fat burning speed (in order to make the fat last) not to mention eating small meals throughout the day will help your metabolism in the long run making it easier to stay thin and keep losing weight... This kind of diet is good for people like me because I LIKE FOOD and I don't want to restrict WHAT I'm eating if i can just eat a small amount of it and be satisfied which will keep me from going off my diet.

As far as exercising goes for me... i do good... when I'm motivated. which last for like 2 weeks and then it turns into "i'll just go to the gym tomorrow" or "i just too tired today." I need to stop making excused and just do it... and i have a new goal to go to the gym at least 5 days a week. 
SO here is my master plan...

go to the gym Monday - Friday
10:00 am - 11:00am (at least)
Take the weekends off to rest and recover.

Hopefully I can stick to the plan this time... if not i'll get a good kick in the pants by a friend of mine who wants to become a personal trainer and is making me one of her personal projects, which is A-okay with me because that will give me the motivation and push that I need to keep going... she may not be able to do all of it with me just yet, but she can still yell at me or whatever it takes to get the job done.

So wish me luck because this one is gonna be a race against time.

Osama Who?

So as many of you know... Osama Bin Laden is dead.

not even moments after the news broke my facebook was flooded with status updates about it. As i read some of the updates and the comments on them I couldn't help but be offended, especially when people would ask "Who Cares?" So this is what I put as my status...

"for all of you who dont' care or are asking "who cares?" about the death of Osama Bin Laden... i'll have you know that i care as well as many other military members and their families... its a very big deal to us especially if our loved one is overseas... so think about that before you ask that kind of question!"

So if you saw this let me explain myself... I know some people don't think its that big of a deal. But as an army wife... it is a very big deal.

This death could be a good thing or a very VERY bad thing... as I was watching CNN last night I heard the news anchor say that this death with cause the Al queda and all other terrorist organizations linking to Osama bin Ladan to become lost.

Just because they lost their leader doesn't mean the war is going to stop... not even close. His followers will be mad and retaliate. Things may get better eventually but not right away. As much as I (and many other people) wish that it worked that way, it doesn't and we all know that. If anything it will get worse before it gets better.


With my husband being currently deployed I'm worried about him more than ever.
