Weight Loss

So, since he’s gone, and it’s just me, I think it might be easier to watch what I eat, and count calories. And so far, I haven’t done too well. So I’m going to go here and hope that I can keep myself accountable. I plan on going down to 150, or lower. Right now though, my goal, short term, is 175, by Nov. 28th of this year.

I’m going to start exercising as well. But I thought I’d start with tracking my calories. I don’t think this will work if I just jump in with both feet. Some might think it’s the wrong way to go, but this is my weight loss journey.

I did a 3 mile walk yesterday, it was a race, and I did it in 50 min. I think I did a great job, I know others finished sooner, but my goal yesterday was to finish, and not give up. I did it, and I finished, and I wasn’t last, which was just icing on the cake, because that wasn’t even part of the goal.

I’m tired of looking fat, and pregnant, I’m tired of feeling like crap. You might think I look fine, but you’d be lying.

So, I have 20 lbs to lose before Nov. 28th, and I’m going to do it. Then, I’ll do 20 more, and then 20 more, until I hit my long term goal weight.

R&R is OVER, already?!! :(

So, I have been having trouble with posts, and pictures not showing up...and I also can't seem to figure out how to easily transfer pictures from my phone to the computer...SO this post is a little late...

He left on Monday. It was a good day though, he didn't have to be at the airport until the evening, so we had the whole day almost to spend together.

This time I was able to get to the gate, and of course since I brought his orders with us, they didn't need to see them...GO FIGURE...

We ate at the little cafeteria place by his gate, and then went and sat at the gate until it was time to board.

The airline had everyone clap for the service members and that made me cry...and then they started boarding, and he was one of the first on the plane.

I couldn't bring myself to leave the gate. I thought it would hurt more to stay, but I don't know, since I did stay. I just really could not get up and leave, and it was so hard to do that when the plane was taxi-ing away...I kept looking back at it, and watching it...I finally decided to just let it go, and get some Starbucks, I mean, a little pick me up is always good, right?

After he had boarded and they were getting the last people on and ready to leave, there was a rainbow, and it was over the plane, I think it was good luck, at least that's what I like to tell myself...

it's really hard to see, but it's there, above the jetway (is that what that is called?)

R&R

So, he got in a little earlier than we had thought, which was a good thing.. I had things mostly together for him.
So, I had a friend come with me to the airport to take pictures for me.
We got there with plenty of time to get our gate passes, and be at the gate when he landed.
However, the guy at the USO said we had to have orders to get to the gate. Which was not something I thought of, so that is the first thing that went wrong.
Then, we went to the baggage claim where his flight was suppose to pick up their baggage, even though he didn’t have any checked bags, I figured he’d just come down there. We waited and waited and waited…no husband.
At this point I’m getting mad, where is he, why isn’t he down here yet, because other flights had come in at this point. So I was not happy and thought maybe something had happened to him. I went to the baggage claim clerk counter and went off. The lady told me she couldn’t tell me anything, so I took that to mean she wasn’t going to help. But she ended up looking it up, and telling me he was on the flight. So okay, then where is he, and why isn’t he here.
Finally he calls me from someone’s phone, saying he got lost, and went to the wrong baggage claim, and could not figure out how to get to the right one. Seriously, great, okay, well, your ass is coming to me, or I’m leaving you and you can walk home…
So he finally found me, and things were great….So here are the pictures…

I guess I went a little over board, LOL

Finally found us…..

It wouldn’t be a proper home coming without a Lei…

HUGS, they felt good, even though I was still kind of annoyed…

Welcome Home Hun!!!!

Oh and the pics are from my phone, because the battery on the camera died, and we can't find the charger...

Sugarland, they’re my all time favorite…or if it were for my husband and me, Avenged Sevenfold, because a few of their songs are “our song”
