Buuuuurn baby burrrn

The name of this post will probably have nothing to do with what is in it...but I dont have the mind capacity to be creative today. I wanted to update on my weight loss. Yayy! Note to you: Dont mind my blah ness in the before pic and the gawd awful dirty mirror in the after pic. Because I dont care.

I

Went from 130 to 117 in 5ish weeks :) 7 more lbs to go!!

Another note: I choose to weight in at 110lbs because I am 5 ft 1 and 105-115lbs is the weight I have always fluctuated throughout my life before lack of activites and the consumption of junk food weighed in on my ass. It looks healthy on me, I am a midget. I can weigh 110lbs and not look sick. Choose a good weight for YOU if you ever choose to loose weight. Find a website that will tell you what is a healthy weight for YOU.

With that being said, I shall go. My next blog will be SUPER personal. Tune in if you give a shit :)
TTFN.

P.S
How am I loosing weight?
-Calorie counting= I average out 1100-1400 cals a day
-Cardio workouts= Jump rope, jog, or do some p90x cardio x (love it!) and zumba.
-Healthy food! fruits and veggies. I replaced my condoments from normal to non fat or light.
-Portion control! I measure my portions and sugar intake.
- Lots of water! I try to average out 40 oz a day.
That is all :)

Hold the applause.

I am back...kind of. I love Tumblr but its very modern and sometimes I want to read actual rambles and not just pictures. Its great for many things but sometimes a blog specifically for life is good. Haaa so I'll be bouncing back and forth.

I kind of failed at this blog a little bit. Last productive post I made was in December '10 and then a half assed one in March of this year. So heres an update:
The mister is finally home. He arrived July 18th. The ceremony was small but overwhelming. I think I got about a million different phone calls ranging from a robot to one of several of his  NCO's 4 days leading up to the event. Then of course Daniels (hubby) communication went from "hey lets talk everyday" to "chirp chirp" nothing. So, I was ready to get this on the go.  Helloooooo 12 months  without my main squeeeze  (only squeeze haha) ..give him back! Finally we got the time and it was officially at 5:30 pm. I wasn't going to even leave until exactly 5:25pm LOL but my impatience got the best of me. When  I arrived the worse music in the world was playing (including backstreet boys) and people were dancing..thats one way to calm the nerves I suppose. I was shaking. They kept showing the video clip of them getting off  the plane and they showed Daniel for quite a while. FINALLY they announced that the buses were outside and that it was time to see them. They played the space jam song "Are you ready for this" which is all it says through out the song almost, may I add. Over and over and over. YES I'M READYYY LETS GOO! Then they ran in with smoke blowing everywhere like it was a highschool pep rally. So corny but fun and funny as hell. They did the formation, Daniel was in the front and I was basically right in front of him. He kept smiling at me trying to focus on his formation while all these pictures are being snapped and people were probably trying so hard not to attack while they did thier thang. Anyway, the dude (whoever he was, i really dont remember) said "Your soldiers are home!!" and everybody attacked. Daniel picked me up and squeezed the crap out of me then we kissed and got out as fast as we could. I didn't get any pics since it was just me and him but it was a great memory all the same. He's finally home.

As of right now nothing is going on and I like it. I spent a good 10 out of 12 months stressed to no ends. Thats probably why I ended up weighing 20lbs over my pre marrital size. With that being said I have started the p90x workout (along with other cardio exercises) and have become a health nut and calorie counter to no ends. on my 5th week (weigh in is on sunday) but so far I have lost 10 lbs. 10 more to go!! I might post some healthy recipes as I go along. On monday I am making a little birthday feast for my hubby since we didn't really celebrate on his r&r. His cake:

ll-o cake!! This blogger shows how to make it http://craftyc0rn3r.blogspot.com/2011/04/rainbow-layered-jello.html. I am so excited. Really. I'll just be using jell o sugar free and non fat condensed milk.

And then....I'll be making these yummy yet healthy versions of pizza muffins! 

And I got the idea from this here Tumblr: http://undressedskeleton.tumblr.com/

And I'll be throwing in a ceasar salad at the Husbands request,  my version will be  with a dash of lemon juice and light ranch:

 I cant wait to get back in the kitchen. 

well..thats my ramble and update for now. TTFN:) 

P.S I really hate Blogspots background choices. 

Catch me on another site!!

Yes, I am saying my goodbyes to blogspot. Out with the old and in with the new! I am now on tumblr, its alot easier to manage anyhow.

Later =)

The bug is bugging me.

Here I am, 6 months into D's absence and I'm sitting here in our fairly new place with the flu. It started at 8am and its now 6pm and I'm just now eating some chicken noodle soup. The only thing I've eaten today. Ugh. I hate this.

Things dont really get hard 'till you realize you're totally on your own.

Okay, I'm done with the pity party. Want some good news? I got my license! Yaaay! It only took me 3 times. But eh, I got it!! Lol now I need a functional car. I dont even care anymore to tell the  truth. I am sick of constantly  being stressing out. So, I got school set up for online courses and hopefully I can register and await my student aid by the end of next week. This process takes forreverrrr. Let me tell ya. But I'm praying.

D comes home soon, the worse is over. He can be home to relax and just.....be here. Its almost surreal. I hope I can handle my anxiety when the time arrives. I hate being in shock and my nerves going insane. But, why wouldnt they for the perosn you love? I'm excited. Excited for him to come home, then soon after be home permanently. To be in our bed. Next to me.

Just remember spouses of a soldier just because you think you cant do something, doesnt mean you actually cant. I thank my husband for showing me the real strength within myself. I love you baby xoxoxoxo

stress list.

Yes. I know, its been a very long while. Want an update? If the answers no...to bad!
So we're about 4 months into the deployment and its going very well. For the most part.  We got the general month of when the hubby comes home. Its not to far away and the home stretch is going to be incredibly short which makes me all bubbely inside as you can imagine :p.  Distractions are key. Right now the distraction is getting my home set up..which I've been working in since he left. Almost finished and so far its looking pretty fabulous!! Here are some pictures:

Our living room when we FIRST moved in. I dont have pictures of the granny couch that WAS in there (But I do thank D's old sargent for giving it to us, that was generous of them)   :

And now

                                                         And then my kitchen.

And now

                                  and last, my bedroom. When we first moved in, No bed, nothing.

                                                                      And now

Thats about it for now! Managed to not spend over $1,000. Which we all know is nice because we arent money bags here. All I gotta do now paint my kitchen table and chairs and hang up some things. But enough about my boring progression which I owe a lot of thanks to the Pilley family. Since they handle my paycheck and are the ones who sold me most of the things that are now taking residence in my rooms :) (yes, nice USED things are just as good as overpriced brand new things Haha) 

A lot has happened in the past 4 months on my neck of the woods. Me and my neighbor randomly got some new pets....no cost included!! Now usually I cant argue with free but when rats deicide to take residence in your home things gets complicated.   It was pretty bad. Rat poop all over the place, I had to lock up all of my food in my fridge and microwave. They managed to come through my neighbors toilet. I had pest control come over and they laid STICKY traps out. At first none of this was to stressful.  Until one of the sticky traps caught two rats and they were hitting under my fridge causing it to rattle, freaking my dog and myself out. Realizing the rat was trying to bit his tail off and took off outside when my neighbors husband came over to help me dispose of it...yea never using those again.

Heres some pictures:

Arent they cute?  Dont be fooled by their cuteness. They're killers and they are annoying. Now, almost 2 months later they are still making incredibly loud noises in my walls. So loud that it wakes me up. Housing finally decided to move me and my neighbor. I'm not to excited to move and re adjust and get things organized on top of everything else. But hey..why not add to the stress list? In the end though, I rather move than die from some incurable disease that these suckers carry.  Housing is most likely going to try to sway us. I liked to see them deal with this on a daily basis. No swaying here since there isn't much they can do unless they bomb our houses, tear down the walls, then re build them. I'm not going to live in a Hotel forever and pay for storage and all that. I dont know, its all to complicated. But hopefully this will all end soon.

So besides that I have been working and trying to limit my emotional days. Which really suck.  What I got to look forward to?

1) Getting my license. Why cant things be easy? My neighbor/close friend took my to get my test done. yea umm not happening, We were for 3 hours for me to get processed than found out all the slots for that day were taken up. So we went to another dmv, after calling them to make sure they test, and then got told to that they dont test. Turns out we have to go to the original dmv 2 hours before they open. Well..lets hope I pass! Otehrwise life is going to suck.

2)Job searching. The family I work for is PCS'ing in Feb. There for, I'm jobless!

3) Got to get car updated. Yea,  thats not looking to good.

TTFN :)

To say the least Life is stressful. Oh well, its my life and I'll manage. I better get off though. I will keep on keeping on =P

RIP baby Gecko.

Yes, you heard right.  I murdered a baby Gecko today. I took up the honor of sweeping my neighbors house and I accidentally stepped on the tiny creature. He looked at me and opened his mouth wide. We had a funeral service for him. Given, it was mostly for the 6 year old who witnessed this horrendous act, but all in all...RIP poor baby Gecko.

TTFN <3

Ugh. Its that kind of day.

UGH. Yes, thats all I got. Its been a little over a month since Hubby left.  Some days suck but for the most part its better then I thought. I decided to stay here in TX instead of going back home. Not very many people were happy about it. But why would I quit my job and start over more than I have to?

Its days like this where I want to be home. It just sucks sometimes. I look at the friends I have made here and they're all leaving when hubby gets back, moving away like military families do. Then I'm missing out on my family and friends lives as well back home. It gets deppressing when I sit and think about it.  I go to sleep alone, I come home to be alone, I dont cook anymore because I'm alone. Depressing huh?  Its okay, its just one of those days. Usually I'm happy and just going on 'till the hubby comes home again. Getting things done and holding my head up. But today....today isn't good. I miss being home. My best friend of 10 years mom passed away today and I cant be there to hold her hand through it. Its bad enough I miss out on all the little ones lives and more. But really?  Will I even be able to make it to the memorial?
"It must be hard being away from close friends like that" Guess what? Everything is hard. Maybe its the first timers struggle but being away from EVERYBODY uncluding the reason you're here while hes fighting or reestablishing for this country we call the land of the free, just..sucks. Haha, but you know? I wouldn't have it any other way. I'm a very thankful human being and I'm not lounging around depressed. If it wasnt for friends or having a job I would not be in this state. Honestly. I love my friends here. They keep me strong because they know what its like. I think I'm adjusting pretty well. I get to talk to hubby more than I thought i was and that makes everything better.

Okay, enough of the sad pity me rambling.  I am gonna blog a lot more and take lots of pictures more often. I'm excited to start college and more. I'm excited to set up my home to make it a HOME. Right now it looks like a bachelors pad haha. By the end of the day, I'm happy I stayed here. Despite the bugs :P
