My Weight Loss Journey...

My weight journey has always been a struggle since high school. It started because I wasn't in a very healthy relationship. Can we say emotional eater?? I also went through an eating disorder, which is soooo not me. This was a path I knew I couldn't be on forever.
After I got out of that relationship I began running and sticking to a healthy diet. I felt sooo good! Then I met Keith...
Remember when you first start dating someone, and the common thing you do with them is go out to eat?? Yup, that was us!!! All of a sudden my muffin started expanding...
Then the marriage weight happened. The "I'm happy and comfortable" weight :) Now that I've been married for almost three years, it's time to shrink that muffin top.
So I've started the couch to 5k program. Hopefully I can run a few miles without dying soon. That's my hope anyway;)
I need to just focus on my diet and how much I exercise, and that will be my key to beating this weight loss. I cannot get caught up in everyone's opinion on it, or take people's comments to heart because ultimately this is all about ME!!
until next time...

My Military Life!!

As I sit in my three bedrooom, 1.5 bath amazing house, I can't help but wonder what will come of this military life.
Some days my hubby loves his army job, and other days he cannot wait to get out. I can't blame him, 12 hour days just isn't fun!
But I am also so proud of everything he has done for our family. We are a young family of four and we have this beautiful big house, free medical, great dental coverage, plenty of food and clothing, and a guaranteed paycheck every two weeks. I also do not have to work. Who wouldn't like this lifestyle?
With this job comes the cons that are just not worth it sometimes. Right now I mostly sleep alone, and I've been through one deployment so far. That leaves little time with my hubby!
Overall I have learned to give some trust in my husband to provide for us outside of the military. I have accepted that I may not get to live in another country. These things I've learned to accept is part of being a military spouse.
Would I like to be an army wife forever? Sure, as long as my hubby is happy with his career. But if he is not that's okay, I'm with him no matter what!
I'm proud of everything my hubby has done, and I'm glad I will be able to look back on our military days. Until the date he is out I just need to stat positive and be 100% supportive.
Afterall, that's what Claudia Joy from Army Wives would do ;)
Until next time...

Rough Day!!!

Today is a rough day. I am craving pizza, French fries, pasta, and basically all carbs! I feel like staying in my sweats and laying on the couch all day! Where did my motivation go?
Side note, I had an amazing girl date last night. Greys Anatomy and red wine was AMAZING!!!! I am thinking about venturing into wine tasting because I really enjoy a good glass of wine at night! I just have no idea where to do that, this isn't California afterall lol! If any of you have suggestions I will take them!
Time to make lunch for the little rascals!!!
Until next time... :)

Update on Life :)

So I must say I am loving my life lately. I recently started seeing a counselor to talk about all of my stresses. I was very anxious about this at first because I'm a shy one, but I LOVED it. Just at the first session I learned so much about myself!! And I cannot wait to continue:) hopefully this will make my marriage alot better and I can become a better mother!!
On another note, I am entering the second month on my weight watchers program. So far, I've already lost 5% of my weight, (having my wisdom teeth helped with that lol) and I am hoping to continue losing it! I want this baby weight gone! I like the program because I'm learning a healthy way to live. I guess I have to keep up with my bodybuilding husband ;)
Until next time, have a good weekend all!! :)
