Starting Over

Damn girl you look FANTASTIC!! yes I can see a big difference in the way you look, WAY TO GO!!! you should be so proud!! I still would love to get together as well. It's been crazy for me around here lately also, always something pulling me away from my computer, never enough time to do any posting. But I'm sure with the cold weather moving in, that will soon change.

I bet Sean is going to go nuts when he sees how wonderful you look, he may never leave again. LOL LOL

So how's Bella? Is it cold there too? It's flipping freezing here today, I hate when it gets down to 40, I'm a summer girl what can I say.

Well I hope your day was a good one!! I can't wait to see you!
Take Care and Lots of Hugs!
Kim
 
Thanks ladies!! Really, the compliments mean more to me that you could ever know.

BB, we could meet half way between Columbus and you. 2-3 hours to drive is not bad at all. That would be great!

MLB, it has gotten pretty cold here. I love cool weather though. It usually has to be in the 30-40's before I'll wear a jacket. Long sleeve shirts usually get me through christmas.

Sean will be home for Thanksgiving then gone again until I fly to Vegas for his graduation in mid december. I plan on busting my ass so I look super hot in my ball gown in december. I wanna knock him on his ass!! I wanna lose 15lbs by then, I hope I can do it! I'm holdin goff on dress shopping until December 1st. This will give me enough time to prepare I think (hope).

Gotta go get some weight training in before bed. TTYL!!!

I hate getting into any dress, even when I was thin I hated them. I'm a jeans kind of girl. Either way, it will be nice to dress up for a wild night in Vegas.

The problem is finding more time to work out with Bella. It's rough not having an extra hand to help right now. I have to take her everywhere I go and sometimes she's just not in the mood for the gym or stroller. I do burn some extra calories chasing her everywhere though. She's at that age...
 
I will call you!!! hehehehe :iagree:

And you eat so good, that I'm sure those 10lbs will be gone in no time! Plus, you do still work out, even if it's not as often as before, you do and you do it HARD. So don't you worry, your already a skinny minnie now. LOL LOL I think you look fantastic!!! I'm SERIOUS! I can only wish to be in the 150's, and boy do I dream about it. LOL LOL

Well, I better get busy I see someone just emailed me some confidential information to run an audit on. HAHAHA Hope it's an easy one this time. UGGG, my brain hurts..... :willy_nilly:
 
Honey, even if you don't lose 15lbs between now and Vegas, you'll still look super hot in your dress--trust me. ;)

When are you thinking about meeting up? We are going to be in Northern Indiana (Amish country) sometime before or after Christmas if that works.

Thanks BB. I'm actually looking forward to dress shopping at the end of the month. How sick am I? I hate dresses! This will be the first trip Sean and I have taken together. I was either preggers or we had Bella with us. I am really looking forward to it.
 
Hey everyone!! My sweet hubby surprised me yesterday by coming home for a day. He had to come pick up an airplane for some exercise in Vegas so I get to see him tonight. Woot! He'll be back next week for a couple of days for Thanksgiving then back to Vegas until mid december. I will go there for his graduation and bring him back home for good. Or at least for awhile until he starts deploying again.

I am working my ass off right now to drop this weight. After he leaves next week, I'm gonna double my hard work so I can surprise him in Vegas. I just hope my damn body/metabolism cooperates. Bah!

Since it's so hard to get as many workouts in with Sean gone, I am having to get creative with it. Since I get off work at noon on friday's, I will be heading to Pinnacle Mountain for trail running and hiking for a major burn. I'm hoping one major, three-hour, ass-kicking workout plus three smaller ones (one hour) each week will suffice until Sean finishes training. Plus Bella and I spend our weekends doing activities that require lots of movement. MOstly me chasing her, but hell that burns as many calories and any workout if you ask me. Lol! She's quite active...

Well, gotta go find something to do here at work. Bored out of my mind!!!
 
That's great you're getting to see Sean unexpectedly. :hurray:

I think you're doing a great job of finding ways to get in your exercise while being a "single" mom.

Do you think he'll be deployed soon after returning? Or is there no real way of knowing until they give the word? Well, I really hope Obama makes good on his promise of beginning troop withdrawals in Iraq. Hopefully that will make it less likely he'll get deployed.
 
Oh I'm so happy for you Amy, I hope you and Sean had a wonderful day together!! It's always nice getting those types of surprises, and who better to get one.

Enjoy your time, I'll stop back by and check in on you tomorrow.
CHOW BABES!
 
It was so nice to see my husband!!! The best part is that they are letting them come home early for thanksgiving so He'll be here tomorrow!! I get a whole week with him before he flies off to Vegas for the final part of training.

BB, he'll start deploying next year, probably in the fall. No matter what happens in Iraq, he'll be deploying to somewhere in the world to at least try and keep the peace. That's our life!!

Update: I spent the past couple of days in Hot Springs with family. My step-grandmother passed away on Sunday. Don't send any condolences, really. I don't wish to speak ill of the dead, but she was a wretched human being. I adored my grandfather and was very close to him, but never understood how he could love or be with such a horrible woman. She is my uncle's mother so I was there to support him. My grandfather passed away 4 years ago while I sat and held his hand in the hospital. I haven't seen her since then, and never wanted to. I just kept in touch with the others. She went out of her way to ruin people's lives. I remember her getting mad at my mother many years ago for something stupid like a borrowing a washer/dryer. She told my mother she'd get her back so she wrote my dad a letter saying my mother was cheating on him. Who does shit like this? My grandfather had to intervene and stop her from trying to break up my parents' marriage. She has had little to do with us since. My grandfather and I made it a point to visit with each other away from their home so she wouldn't try to start something. I think he pitied her for being obviously crazy. He was a very patient and compassionate man. Needless to say, hardly anybody came to the funeral and none cried. they just shrugged off her death as if it was no big deal.

It really made me look at myself and the kind of person I am and want to be. I could never imagine hurting others around me to the point that they wouldn't give a damn if I died. I wonder what made her such a heinous human being...

Anyways, other than that, I did enjoy spending time with my other family. They are a good bunch of people with big ol' hearts. I will be trying harder to stay in touch more with them. I've missed a lot.
 
YEP, and that entire post is why I just love AMY so much!! We think alike!

KUDDOS girlfriend, KUDDOS!

And get some major snuggle time in, AHHHHHHHHH ENJOY!

Glad you're able to see him :) I wish the best of luck for him, wherever he goes!

Self hate, primarily. Too bad she was such a nuisance to your family.
 
Wow, that lady sounds like something else. I guess I can see why you're not broken up about it. :)

So when Sean's deployed, will it be to somewhere where all of you can go, too? Like Germany or Japan where the families get to accompany?

That's great news he gets to spend the whole week! :hurray:
 
Nope BB, Bella and I will have to stay here (or wherever we're stationed) while he's deployed. Sean's specialty is weapons and combat in his airplane. They send him places he gets shot at. :(

I had a very productive weekend. Sean and I went to see Twilight at the movies on friday then to a wine and cheese event that night. Saturday we managed to get all of out shopping done for Thanksgiving dinner at our house. Every year we have a big dinner at our house for all of our military friends who don't get to go home for the holiday. This year we will be having 30-40 attend!! I am going to be cooking my ass off all day wednesday!! Sunday we cleaned the entire house from top to bottom and raked/cleaned up the yard. I think we are pretty much set for the guests to arrive I think. I just have to put up the decorations and cook!

I plan to get a heavy workout in tonight and tomorrow night. I am hoping Sean hasn't made plans for friday because I'd really like to get a hike in at Pinnacle Mountain. I overheard him making plans with some friends this weekend, I just don't know which day...

I am going to keep my calories at 1200-1400 all this week except for Thanksgiving day. I'll probably consume about 2200 that day and just consider it a one day refeed. LOL! Gotta have some of Sean's sweet potato crunch. to die for!

Well, gotta go run some errands on my lunch break.

Ciao!!!
 
A couple of friends called today and backed out for thanksgiving so that minus 8 people. Still it's tons to cook for!

I am so ready to go home. This Monday has sucked balls big time. I can't help but look forward to January when I will be quitting here and going to school full time. It will be nice to have a small break...

I am trying to pump myself up for tonight's workout. I'm tired and my allergies are kicking my ass. I wanna go running around the neighborhood and trails by my house but I know if I do that then I'll probably skip some of my weight training when I get home. Sean distracts me. I hate working out indoors when the weather's all cold though. I am very hot-natured so the ice cold air feels good when I run. It's gonna be in the late 30's tonight so it will feel perfect with the right amount of layering. I also found a new trail through the woods than runs along a beautiful creek. Wow, I think I have just talked myself into running tonight instead. LOL! I'll wait and see how I feel about it when I get home. My brain is telling me to get my ass to the gym for a major burn. Bah!!
 
I didn't go running or work out last night. :( I got home and felt terrible for some reason. I'm fighting a cold plus I have another kidney infection and I think both combined just kicked my ass. I went straight to bed when I got home and slept until 5 this morning. I still don't feel 100% but the rest really helped. I really needed to run but was in no position to do it when I got home. My lower back hurts from my kidneys and I can't stop coughing. I am taking meds for it and it should clear up in a couple days. I hope...

I will get my 5 hours of working out in this week though. It just may have to be tonight (depending on how bad I feel), friday and saturday. Tomorrow night I will be doing some marathon cooking all night so I won't have time for it. Unless... I get off work at 1 tomorrow after our office potluck so I may go for an hour run along the creek while the sweet potatoes are baking in the oven. Sounds like a plan!!

The creek is so beautiful this time of year. Parts are covered with a thin layer of moss and there are big cypress trees scattered throughout. I'll post some pics of it sometime...
