    My Photo
    Name: dyzgoneby
    Location: California, United States

    I am married to a wonderful Marine and a mother of 5 darling children. Sniper has been home from his second tour in the Shitbox since July 2006. This will be my rants, raves and rumblings with my life with him as a Marine Wife, him dealing with life post Iraq and the Marine Corps next adventure for us. At times I may whine, I may cry and there maybe times I just don't make any sense and you think WTF. These are my feelings and my feelings alone. If you don't like what I have to say, click the "X" in the right corner and move on. Thank a vet for having that choice. If not, sit back and enjoy the peak into my crazy world.

    Am I Up for Another Challenge

    Just got back in from running.

    Yesterday, I ran 1.3 miles in.....are you ready.....are you sure.....I know I suck....22 minutes. Today, I ran the same course in 12 minutes.

    What the hell did I do differently today then yesterday? I have no clue, other than today I ate dinner before I ran and that was a huge mistake. I won't be doing that again. My side hurt the last half.

    I still can't believe I ran in 12 minutes.

    Before you all start laughing at me, this 35 year old has not exercised like this in 10 plus years. Many moons ago I danced and it kept me in shape. No not with a pole in a club, but a true dancer and a dance instructor. I miss how my body looked. All that muscle has went completely south. So for me to do this, it is a big deal. Anyways, I don't give a rip, it's my blog and I will toot my own horn on here if I want too (I know just like a sniveling brat).

    Something else, I have asthma (don't say it because I know I am a dumb ass for smoking all these years with this) and yesterday, I thought my lungs were going to explode. I used my inhaler countless times. Today, I didn't use it once, during or after I got back. WOW!!!

    If I can get into shape by October, there is something down at MCRD that some woman have been egging me on to join them in. Can you guess what that is? Look here and tell me what you think? I am fucking nuts or what......

    Sniper, Can you guess what the Marine Moms are trying to devil dog dare me into? Damn, I can't let them do that.

    Ooorah!! Go get 'em girl!! Sounds like fun, but I'm not sure I could finish it in one day, much less in an hour or less..... :)

    You have got to be crazy! If you do it I'm coming down to watch and then we can have a beer after.

     

    Blogger Christy said ... (8:37 PM) : 

    Go get um hunny. Goodness. You can do it. You should be proud of yourself and sure you can toot your own horn here. We don't mind after all we all keep coming back for more. Can you see this already?

    I say go for the challenge. Do it and stand tall with it. You know you want to just so you can say HA HA Laugh at that.

    Keep up the good work. That body will be back in shape before you know it. OH you are forgetting the pictures of the before and soon to be after. :D

     

    Blogger AFSister said ... (11:34 AM) : 

    Yep. You're nucking futs.
    hehe.... GOOD LUCK!

    I need to work out. I'm at my heaviest weight ever- including two pregnancies, and one that produced a 10 pound baby.

    You are inspiring! I haven't been able to run for a little while thanks to a knee injury but I will be back on track soon. What kind of dance did you do? I've always loved ballet and still sneak in ballet classes here and there. You should go back to dance classes as well :)

     

    Blogger dyzgoneby said ... (12:16 PM) : 

    kbug...the boot camp challenge is only 3 miles, but 3 miles of pure hell. Oh yeah, Oorah!

    Heather....I too am really starting to think I am crazy as a loon. You will owe me one, I am doing it.

    christy....I so don't want to scare you with the before and after pics of my ass. Then again, some perv might enjoy it. Honestly, I will have to take some soon.

    afsister...Yep, I am nucking futs! Bring it on..I think.

    julie anna...I am so trying to get inspired. I really need to find someone to do this with me. I was a jazz dancer. I beleive now days it is equivelant to hip-hop. I soo miss it. I tried a few years ago to get back into it, but the knee I blew out way back when wasn't playing nice. I am crossing my fingers it plays nice for me to run.


    Today, my THIGHS and BUTT are killing me. I am walking around like I have something stuck majorly up my arse.

     

    Blogger Uncle Jim said ... (6:12 PM) : 

    Good you are staying with it. This is it!!!!!! This is your stress killer. Look at your blog! You are much more up beat and this is no longer a downer to read. But if you quit......so help me Chesty I will be out there to put your sorry civilian butt in check. Just kidding, OR AM I??????

     

    Blogger dyzgoneby said ... (8:52 PM) : 

    uncle jim....I am planning on staying with this. I don't want you to put my civilian butt in check. I don't think I can handle anymore push-ups tonight. I am bone dead tired and it feels great.

     

    Blogger dyzgoneby said ... (8:54 PM) : 

    afsister, I just caught the 10lb baby. Ouch! I thought Drama Queen was bad at just shy of 9lbs and I made them take her early. I am trying to firm up the baby weight on my tummy from 10 years ago. I doubt if it will ever go away, but I am going to try.
