Busy wife busy life.

I cannot stress enough how busy things have been around here. Since the new year began, Lieutenant started his new job in Force Support and I started another semester of school. I have also been working out for 25 minutes to 1 hour every day and maintaining a low-calorie diet. I've lost 8 pounds and almost 4 inches all around. For the first time since we got our pup, I have been able to go to the dog park with her at EIGHT in the morning and play for half an hour. She loves it and I have found that I love it too. I realized that this is a lifestyle change and not a fad, I am not taking pills to lose weight nor am I spending money on any type of weight loss miracle. I'm doing it the hard way - fruits, veggies, lean meats and whole grains along with strength training and cardio training every day.

Today I am taking a break from working out because I've had very severe leg pain and I don't want to mess it up worse than it is. But I am going to be vacuuming and shampooing the carpets today because our new couch will be here in a week or so. Yep, you read correct - we finally were able to get a couch.

After the fiasco that was the car getting stolen, my car breaking down and trying to rebuild our lives, we've stuck together. Sure, there were hard times and moments where I felt like I had hit a wall but we have worked through it. We are on the same page for the first time in a long time.

As for babies, we've decided to put the thought completely out of our minds for the next 5 years. I might even consider getting Mirena. I am going to see the ultrasound tech next week to check for polyps on my ovaries. I pray that it isn't PCOS but if it is, it isn't a death sentence. It does however make weight loss harder and childbearing more difficult but anybody that knows me knows I'm a fighter.

Anyway I feel bad for not blogging as much but sometimes we just have to live, collect our thoughts and then find the time (like right now!) to get it all out.
