Long story short my back/left hip are not up to snuff aka they’re fucked lol.  I was in med hold for 3 weeks of my month in basic.  And was forbidden from all exercises.  But I still managed to lose 8 lbs by eating healthy!

Last week my no exercise waiver was changed to self paced and I was sent home yesterday…stayed at my sister’s in San Antonio last night and then got home to Missouri today.  I am not even all that disappointed really because there are other opportunities for me out there.

I just went running and have been feeling SO GOOD with my new diet/exercise regimen.  I’m also anemic and have a calcium deficiency so I’m taking vitapacks.  I FEEL SO GOOD IT’S RIDICULOUS.

I have also like 90% decided to give up on being an English teacher and go to school for physical education so I can be a personal trainer/work in the fitness field.

I haven’t gone nuts…I just feel like a different person.  I weighed 136 on April 17th.  Today on May 18th I weigh 128.  I’m 5’4”.  Weight isn’t a huuuge deal to me but I’d like to get to 120, but I realize muscle weighs more than fat so if I gain 10 lbs of muscle and lose fat I’ll consider that a success.

I feel so POSITIVE now!  Perspective is a funny thing. :)

Thank you!!!

So…tonight I go stay at the hotel then tomorrow I go to the MEPS and swear in, then in the afternoon I catch a plane to San Antonio.

So nervous I could pee myself, but I won’t!  lol
