    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.

    "Pain is Weakness Leaving The Body"

    Yep, that about sums it up right about now.

    I thought my body hurt this morning. I had a helluva time walking down the stairs just to get my cup of joe when I woke up this wonderful morning. Then to turn around and walk back up, it sucked to know end. I then did my morning sit-ups and push-ups, I pushed myself. However, I walked around today like I had something stuck way up my arse.

    So, what do I do when I get home? Relax with my feet up? Sit on my ass and take the night off? Give my thighs and ass a rest (yes even my butt hurts)?

    Oh Hell No. Nope, not this bitch. I decided what the hell is a little more pain.

    I came home, loaded the 2 new Marine Corps Cadence CDs I received in the mail today on my MP3 player and hit the pavement. This time I ran/walked 2.5 miles. Something about listening with the Cadence CD helped. I listened to the boots hitting the ground and timed my rhythm with it. Each day I am going to add just a little more time. Maybe just maybe I won't make a fool out of myself.

    Ohhh, but let me tell you, tonight, my legs did not want to walk up and down those stairs to my room. This morning I thought I was in pain, tonight I know I am in pain.

    But hey, "No Pain, No Gain." If that's the case, BRING IT ON!!!

    I am putting my negative, depressing, self pitty, let's fell sorry for myself, whining, sniveling bullshit energy into something tangible. What better way than to PT to clear your head. In doing so, I am feeling more relaxed (sore), healthier (still can't let go of the donuts though), happier, and positive.

    Oohrah!!!!

    Sniper, I miss you so much. Someone needs to come kick my ass for all the stupid things I keep getting myself into. One of these days, I promise I will listen to you. I love you with all my heart.

    You get used to it..

    Now that's what I'm talking about! Just think I't will get better and so will you. I love it, keep it up! Just think about this when you are sitting there thinking about the pain, thats all you are thinking about!!!! Your mind won't wander. No matter how bad you feel just remember, there is some poor Marine recruit in boot camp who would give anything to feel as good as you do when you are hurting. Now drop and give me 20!!!

     

    Blogger Christy said ... (6:51 AM) : 

    Get her Uncle Jim. I am sure that she can do more than 20 though. RIght Dyz? Good work dear. I am glad to see you pushing through it. NOw come kick my ass for not getting in there with you. My clothes aren't fitting much anymore. I keep saying I am going to hit the gym but get to damn busy with other shit. Kid makes it hard to when she is fussing alot.

    Keep it up. Good work. HOT BATH. Try that for the soarness. There is some minerals you can even add to the water to help relieve it.

    Hey there, OMG I need your energy right now. I've been trying to get into an exercise routine to get in shape. I've been promising myself I was gonna be in shape by the time Steve comes home, but I've got a long ways to go in the next 5 months! Thank you for for your post, I swear I'm gonna get my ass in gear and go for it! Talk to ya later! And GOOD JOB!!!!!

    dangerous....I think I already am.

    uncle jim...from dropping and doing 20 every few hours, Sniper is going to come home with my arms bigger than his. I am amazed at how well I can keep working through the pain. My legs feel even better than yesterday.

    christy....keep it up and I am going to send uncle jim over to you. LOL, Yep, I can do more than 20. You can do this to you know. It's not that hard and very rewarding.

    Charla....Sniper coming home is one of my motivations. I don't want him to look at my fat ass, rolls on the tummy and turn around. I want to wow him. I doubt if that will happen, but at least I will have the stamina. I know I will need that.
