He's Off

It's been a few days since my husband has left. With all his coming and going I should be used to this by now. He even said those very same words to me right before he left. But deployments and TDY trips never get any easier. They are still trips that take my husband away.

Since most of our recent trips have been TDY, I feel like this trip is that kind of trip. I have to remind myself that this trip is a deployment and it will be longer. I can't really wrap my brain around it. In about 4 weeks I'm sure I will hit some sort of deployment wall. 4 weeks is about the time our Temporary Duty Trips last.

Before my husband left I started working out and counting Weight Watcher points again. I am determined to take off this weight. Truth is I have it left over from having babies! My baby is now 8. I think it's time to part ways with the extra load. So far so good. Before he left I had lost about 40 pounds. Then we had to buy a house, move and get ready for more TDY and deployment. I stopped working out as much. I decided if I could stay within 10 pounds of where I was I would be happy. I have done that. Now it's time to part ways with the last 70 pounds!

To help the weight loss journey, I bought a Wii Fit. It's not a great workout but it does get you moving. Yesterday I bought Biggest Loser workout for Wii. We'll see how that one goes today.

In about 4 weeks I'll need you to keep me motivated!
