Happy New Year! 2016.
I didn't make any new year resolutions, since I resolve to do lots of things, but not within any time frame.
We started off New Year's with a bang. Fireworks! I just love that South Carolina doesn't have any laws against the BIG BIG fireworks. It was so amazing to be standing in our front yard or on our back deck and see fireworks going off everywhere you turned. And not just little ones. It was like having our own personal display! This would never be allowed in PA.
Other than that, the holidays came and went. Nothing big. Christmas was nice and somewhat uneventful.
Last week Sarah found out she is scheduled to leave for basics on February 16th. I'm a little nervous, but super glad she is moving along with her plans to be in the Airforce. I think she's nervous too, but she is stubborn and won't openly show any signs of it. They'll come. Days before she leaves, I'm certain she'll pull out her dramatic side and start getting edgy. I believe last year she made the comment of 'This may be my last Christmas'. Inside she was getting nervous about being shipped off overseas immediately after basics. Of course, at the time, she thought she would be at basics in October. Nope.
Life goes on.
I've been struggling lately with dieting. Once again. I hit 192 on the scales around New Year. Holy SHIT!! 192?? How the FUCK did it get that bad? Of course, my neighbor hit the nail on the head when she said, "You get bored" and you eat and veg. She's absolutely right and the sad part is, I only knew her for a few weeks when she said that. So sad. But funny. She actually said that about a week before Christmas. It was then that I decided to try to get serious about cracking down. My biggest problem is when I get a migraine (which is a lot) or body pains, I don't have it in me to exercise and stay on track. I want comfort food. I want things to make me feel good. Since sex happens only 3-4 times a year, that's off the table. So food it is.
I did manage to lose 6 lbs, so now I'm at 186. But still.... this is so hard.
So....today I joined a weight loss challenge with the gym. MUV it to Lose it 90 Day Challenge. It starts January 25th. My biggest goal with this is to obviously lose weight. But I have many little additional goals too.
Lower my high blood pressure.
Be back down to a size 8 by May.
Hopefully make new friends in the area.
Get Sam motivated to start working out again.
I mean seriously, I don't believe he has been to the gym since early October. In addition, he goes all day some times without eating just to come home and drink 10-12 beers before cleaning out the fridge. That's worse than me giving in to sweets and laying around all day when I have migraines. I really want to see him snap out of this self-destruction and get back into shape.
Hopefully I'll be able to find time to make an entry during the challenge. I would like to keep track of what works and what isn't. But I also keep a hand-written journal, so we'll see which one ends up with this information. LOL
Ok - that's all for now.
