You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream

If it wasn't one thing it was another when it came to getting to the gym.  Either I was out of a car, or the baby sitter wasn't available to watch Mason.  I finally dragged my butt to the gym today and it was needed more than I knew  I can tell you right now I wasn't exactly excited about going, but once I got into doing cardio I felt the worries drift away.  For a hour and a half I didn't think about all the tests I have coming up, the presentation I am deathly afraid of giving tomorrow, or how messy the house is.  My worries about Brandon were even minimized during my time at the gym.  I can't say that they completely went away, but my thoughts weren't pounding like they usually are.  I could breathe.  After having this time to myself to just be me, and focus on nothing but myself, I felt like I had more control over things.  I felt hope to get this weight off that I have been dragging around for over a year. I will be smoking when Brandon gets back.  The real challenge is keeping it off and making this a change for our whole family.  I don't want this to be a constant battle, just a way of life.  Here is to another goal I would like to accomplish this deployment...lose sixty pounds.  Here are the other goals I have decided on. 

Goals for the deployment

• Get all A's and B's in my college classes
• Lose 60 lbs
• Start a deployment devotional
• Go to the park weekly with Mason
• Pay off Eclipse
• Become involved with Church
• Be the best friend I can be to all my people
