    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.

    PT for ME

    Unclejim, you set the wheels in motion.

    The last couple of weeks, when I wasn't studying like I should have been and you told me to "Drop and Give you 20," I really did drop and do 20. I am now up to around 70 a day. Yes, they are girl push-ups, but I will get there. Then I decided my tummy needs to not be as flabby as it is. So, I added sit-ups. I am up to 100 a day. Today, I decided to add something else to mix it up and get my legs and stamina in shape, running. I didn't run for a long time, but lets just say I am feeling super old right about now. That's ok, this is just the first day.

    Since I quiet smoking (16 days ago), I have put on a few (8) pounds. What can I say, I can't stop eating. I am tired of being old, out of shape, lazy and not eating healthy. I decided it's time for a change and that change is starting today.

    So here's the change:

    Drink lots of water. For the first time in my life, EVER, I started drinking PLAIN WATER this last week. Anyone who truly knows me, knows I am a total junk food junkie who drinks nothing but sodas. I have been drinking 3 to 4 bottles of water a day. That's huge for me.

    Eat healthier. Cut out all the junk food and sugar crap. Eat more fruit. I already eat lots of salads.

    Run 5 times a week. One of my goals (I can't believe I am going to do this) is to run next year in the Rock 'n' Roll Marathon in San Diego (Team in Training). A few of my co-workers ran this last week and the 6 of them raised over 20k for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. They are planning on doing it again next year and I am hoping to join them.

    Yes, Sniper I am adding one more thing to my plate. I love you and maybe you can join me. It would be fun to do something like this together. Maybe I will even devil dog dare you.

    200 Sit-ups and a 100 Push-ups a day. That shouldn't be that hard to do.

    Join the gym (as soon as my 1st exam is completed). I want to be in shape and I am tired of being a lazy bitch, who's ass is getting bigger by the day.

    We have a long full life ahead of us and with Sniper coming home in the next few months, I want to give that Marine a run for his money. We can't have only one of us in shape. Besides, Sniper, wouldn't it be neat to have a running partner.

    Sniper, what do you say, you up to running with me? I love you with all my heart.

    Hey, DGB:
    I quit Smokin', drinkin' and junk foods, cold turkey, in an ICU! I would never, ever tell anyone to quit. but I will promise that there is life after smokin', drinkin', whatever. And water? I had thought that 12 oz of beer was 12 oz of water. Wrong! It even takes water out of you. I have really deleloped a taste for pure regular water. I also like some of the fizzes, and such, but water is the thing. Eat some greens instead of smokin' take a liking to broccoli or something, but don't let eating become the new habit. Go out on the patio and suck good clean air or something. After awhile, you'll get a new grip on tastes that you've not had for awhile.
    Enjoy, nuf sed

    Yep to Frankly. I agree. This must be the time when we are all seeing that our asses are getting way to big. I have a tall glass of water here in front of me and decided yesterday after seeing that lying machine that it was time to do something. I lost alot of weight prior to Jessica and wouldn't you know it all came back after her. I was so upset last night about the weight thing. Suppose it is time to get organized and work in some gym time.
    Good luck and congrats on the not smoking. Love ya girl.

    Way to Go DYZ!! Do a little work out for me too! God knows I could use it. You have a enough time to get in wonderful shape before Sniper gets home. Just start doing candence too and you will be set for the running.

    Hey just so you all know I am available for personal training. Here is a FREE lesson, DROP AND GIVE ME 20!!!!!

     

    Blogger Uncle Jim said ... (3:41 PM) : 

    I give golf lessons too.

    Frankie...Yep, there is life after smoking. My lungs already feel better. I just need to let go of the chocolate chip cookies and powdered donuts. Plus side, I drank lots of water today.

    christy...those donuts are going right to my ass. Then you factor in I sit all day long (sorta) at work. Last time I quit I gained 40lbs, no shit. I am not doing that again this time.

    heather...thank you. I ordered a MC Cadence CD today. It should be in by Friday. I can't wait to put that in my MP3 player. My goal is to have a flat tummy and toned up legs by the time Sniper comes home.

    uncle jim....seriously thank you. This joke giving me more than just a laugh, I am now trying hard to put my body back into shape. It hasn't been that way in 10 plu years and it will take awhile, but I am going to do it. 1 2 3 4 united states marine corps 5 6 7 8 one for Sniper 9 10 11 12 one for me 13 14 15 16 one for you 17 18 19 20 one for the Corps, Semper Fi!
