Another year bites the dust!

I debated whether or not to even continue writing here. I think I am more embarrassed than anything. You might as well just read my New Years post from the last 2-3 years because I am back at square one again. I am not even going to bother making myself false promises again. I am now 30 years old and still a fat ass.

I got down to around 237lbs in 2008. I swore I'd never gain that weight back, yet I am starting this year heavier than I have ever been, other than pregnancy. WTF???

So what happened? After my March 5k, I started easing off the running. 75% of that was due to my hate for Guam's weather. The other 25% was because I knew the boys were almost out of school for the summer and I knew that would make running more difficult. I didn't want to deal with it. I did play Admiral's Cup Soccer and then Volleyball. While that was lots of fun, it didn't make up for me not running my 15+ miles per week.

Things started getting crazy in June. My husband was gone for half of June and a good part of July. Right after returning from a deployment, we found out he was selected for Chief) (E7 in the Navy.) It is a huge promotion, but along with it comes 6 weeks of high-paced, very little sleep, 'induction.' With 3 or 4 days left of induction, the ship deployed to Japan. I was SO pissed they did that right before pinning, which was probably the biggest day of his 13.5 year career.

He was sent back from Japan after his pinning, and a week later the movers were at our house, packing everything up! That commenced the 'eating out way to much because there is nothing in the house' phase. On November 1st, we left Guam and the weather I hated so much.

We got here to our new duty station in Texas. Four days after moving into our brand new house on base, we had a sewage backup! (Not our fault.) We ended up without carpet for 17 days. That was FUN. Our new carpet was installed, and our household goods were delivered 2 days later. We were without them for 2 full months!

THEN........my brother visited. Then my sis visited twice. THEN...we took a trip back home to Colorado to visit family.

We got back here on January 4th. Our house still is not organized to my liking. I don't care, though, because it is SO NICE that life is finally getting back to normal! The stress of the last 7 months is now behind us.

So, I am trying the whole eating right and exercising thing again. On Monday, I started the 'Couch to 5k' running program again. I LOVE running in the cold!!! It is nice to come home from a run not soaking wet with sweat! LOL

That is where I am right now. I feel defeated, but I am still going to try.

Note: I am going to be changing my title and my web address for my blog. If you still happen to read this, and you want the new link before I change it, shoot me a note!!!
