New....Again

  • Hi all. It's been quite a while since I was last on here (to be honest, I forgot my user name and had to retrieve it LOL). Since my last post, I've managed to lose about 40 lbs and am now 31 pounds away from my goal of 175. That goal is still too high for my height but hey, if I feel comfortable there then good. If not, then I'll go lower.
    My life has also changed. I got divorced last June from my ODD's dad. We were together almost 5 1/2 years and married for almost 4 of that time. I'm also a new mother to an almost 2 month old daughter. Her dad and I have been together since August and are planning on getting married soon. I'm getting ready to go back to school (again). But this time, it's for an accounting degree so when SO, my brother and me get our business going, I can do the books.
    Right now, I'm focusing more on my exercise. But with it being winter, my SO's work schedule (he's active duty Army), it kind of limits my time to get to the gym. Plus we use the one on base. So if there are any Army wives in Anchorage, message me if you need a work out buddy.
    Anyways, there's what's been going on in my life since December 2008.
