awesome, thanks
I got on the scale yesterday and it's up to 199.6. That's the highest I've been in just shy of three years. I got down from 235 to 163 ish in the summer of 2004 and then got pregnant with my youngest daughter that winter and even at 9 months pregnant topped out at "only" 197, so to say I'm devestated is an understatement.
But the flip side is that I'm bound and determined to get back down and stay down. I start school in March, and my hubby is on the 'hot list' Both good reasons, and the latter is much more important. He's gained weight right along with me, and it's held him back at both his civilian and real jobs. His run time is stagnant at 21 minutes, the highest it's been since AIT, and his weight is also at it's highest since Basic. I can't stand knowing that he was in good physical shape til we got back together {high school sweathearts} and my cooking and addiction to fast food and buffet style dining out options has done this damage to him and to his military career.
All in all, he's not deployment ready, and it's my fault to a large extent. He is responsible as well but I'm of the old school. What's almost as bad is knowing that the fact
I'm not deployment-ready in the sense of being in the physical shape to take care of the homefront and knowing what that would do to him were he to be activated.
That in a novel-length nutshell is my motivation. I have to get back into shape to handle things here at home, and most importantly to help my soldier get back into deployment ready status.
