Couch-to-5k update!

Week 2 is complete and we are now moving on to week 3. I thought I wasn't going to be able to do week 2 but you know what I did it! It rocked my world. So as we enter week 3 I have to tell myself I'll be able to do this also! This week we will start off as we always do with our brisk five-minute warm up walk,then do two repetitions of the following:

• Jog 200 yards (or 90 seconds)
• Walk 200 yards (or 90 seconds)
• Jog 400 yards (or 3 minutes)
• Walk 400 yards (or three minutes)

We do that for 20 minutes. I really want to say that I am going to fail and not be able to do this. But I believe in myself and think I can push myself to do so! I am getting very excited bout this. I can't wait to complete this training so we can run in our first 5k. I am even more excited bout being able to run with my hubby once he is back! =)
I am still going to the gym 6 days a week. Tomorrow we finally get to meet with our trainer to get going on our weights. We get to learn how to do it and do it right without hurting ourselves. I can't wait.
I can't wait to see the results at the end of my weight loss journey! I know there are going to be bumps in the road and that its a long process. The long process is the part I need to remind myself of. I need to do that because I hate that I can't wake up 20 lbs lighter in 2 weeks. But I know I will get there! So with saying that I guess my first goal would be losing 20lbs. Now I just need to put a deadline on it. Is that something you should do or do I just celebrate once I have lost the 20lbs no matter when it happens?

Minorities

We need to show more sympathy for these people.
* They travel miles in the heat.
* They risk their lives crossing a border.
* They don't get paid enough wages.
* They do jobs that others won't do or are afraid to do.
* They live in crowded conditions among a people who speak a different language.
* They rarely see their families, and they face adversity all day ~ every day..

I'm not talking about illegal Mexicans ~

I'm talking about our troops!

Doesn't it seem strange that so many are willing to lavish all kinds of social benefits on illegals, but don't support our troops?

Everything caught up!

I think everything is finally catching up to me. I think being so busy since the hubby left is just finally wearing on me. The past two days it has taken all I had to get out of bed in the morning to go workout. It takes all I have to not nap during the day. If I was staying up late and getting up early I wold see where this could make me tired. But I go to bed around 10 and I am up at 7:30 that should be plenty of sleep. If not then dang! I am just hoping I am not getting sick. My nose has been running non stop today. (ugh) Maybe tonight I'll just try to go to sleep earlier! Also maybe tomorrow will help with having nothing planned after my workout. Well besides school stuff because I need to get moving on that and at least finish my first chapter of reading and workbook stuff!

Well I hope you all have a great one!

Vent session here we go!

First off I am just going to go off. I am so tired of my neighbors. We live in a cul-de-sac. The house I guess you would say to the left of us if you are looking at the house. They control their dogs I like them! But the ones to the left of them AHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! I am so flipping tired of them letting their dogs lose and not controlling them. Like are you freakin kidding me. They just let their dog come running up to my door and into my garage. They let them use my front lawn as a bathroom. And no worries they just call for their dog and of course they don't go. ONE MORE TIME I swear to god I will just let my dog go over to your house and bug the crap out of you. Let my dog use your yard as a bathroom and not care. I'll just pretend I don't see her. This is such annoying thing to me right now. I know its really not a big deal but idk something just set me off.
Another thing today with the stupid neighbor dogs. Was my friend Cassie had dropped me off and was backing out to leave. The dog just ran over and smelt her tire. She couldnt even go anywhere for like 5 minutes because once again the neighbor could of cared less. I guess I can give him a little credit he called for the dog BUT COME ON!!!! Just freaking go get him you dumbbutt! UGH!

Ok Vent Session over! Sorry!

Deployment Update and start of classes!

So I was thinking today I really haven't talked much about the hubby being deployed and stuff. So he arrived at his new place awhile ago. They will be there for awhile doing what they are doing. But after a couple or more months they will being moving again to another country ooo joys! This deployment has just been one big mess! Anything is possible with this deployment. In fact I can see something happening where they will be extended to 15 months or even have to go to Afghanistan with the rest of the Battalion for a few months once they deploy. That's just how messed up this could get. I am not saying any of this has been said or even rumored about. I am just saying in general to give you an tiny idea of just how crazy this pre-deployment and deployment has been or could be. Anyways he is safe and sound and HOT! I already can't wait for our R&R which will be closer to the end of this deployment time. We decided to go later because we hear how great it is to go longer into deployment before taking R&R because then the rest of the time seems to go pretty quick. This is only our second deployment so we are testing it out and I think I will love waiting longer to see him."Distances makes the heart grow founder." Is'nt that what they always say? I believe them! =)

*~*~*

I started my first day of class today. I am already freaking out about my certification test which is 6 months away. I was telling my husband there is so much to remember already and I only did my video and review quiz part for chapter one. I still actually have to do the text book stuff along with my workbook stuff before chapter one is complete. AHH. But he gives me the hope I need. So if I just keep telling myself what he tells me hopefully I wont stress so much over it. I am looking forward to the rest of this unit though and also everything else along with it. I am excited for this new adventure I am on!

No such luck But addicted to the gym!

So, I had no luck with the power of attorney. Where Jeff is located at there is no legal even close to them. So the loan will be put off until he comes home on R&R unless sometime soon they are near one. But you know what it's ok. I am not going to be mad or get stressed over it. I mean really, there isn't anything I can do about it so I'll just let it be. Everything happens for a reason right? I mean this loan was to pay off our credit cards and we would of had a much lower interest rate on this loan than our credit cards. Plus it would of been a fixed interest rate. Hopefully they can hold the application until he gets back. Until then I'll just keep paying them like I always do!

On an other note. I am pretty sure that I am addicted to the gym! In fact Sundays are our days off. But Cassie and I have now made it optional for us since Monday we both felt bad for not going on Sunday lol.
We are now in the second week of the couch-to-5k. The first day of our 2nd week wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. I decided even though I am doing it with other people. I have to have my ipod in so I don't focus on the running. It helped ALOT! I will give you an update once I have completed this 2nd week of the couch-to-5k to let you know how it went!

Power of Attorney!

Well I swear these things control your life when they are away! AHHH. I swear that he had gave me a general POA but nope he didn't. I went to the bank to get this loan, and well since he is the only who has an income the loan had to go in his name. Needless to say I can't do anything because I don't have a banking or general POA. Sometimes I just want to say like are you kidding me. He never knows how much money we have unless I tell him. He doesn't know what bills to pay, when to pay, or how much to pay. I am the one who controls all the money. So therefore, its really no big deal if I just sign it. OOOO if only it was that easy right? This was just my little vent session. I am not going to stress over it. I'll talk to him tomorrow hopefully since its day off. Lets just hope I can remember to tell him I need one! Otherwise I don't know what I am going to do.
