I wasn't sure I was going to write a post today, because I had a lot of work to do and little time to do it.
Unfortunately, I sit here 30 minutes from the end of my work day, or 30 minutes away from my 1 week vacation, with nothing to do.
I'm super excited for going to the Oregon Coast for vacation. This will be little man, and my Mom's first time seeing the Pacific Ocean.
I love anything to do with water, so being able to go to the ocean is ultimately a wonderful time for me. Even if it's not supposed to get above 65 the whole time we are there.
We rented out a little cottage down by the ocean, for cheaper than it would have cost to rent two hotel rooms. We save on money a bit by being able to make some meals.
I am the super organizer, so the family has left it up to me to pack things up and organize a plan for getting everything into the van. Which is like heaven to me. It will be even better because the hubby and lil man will be out of my hair because they are dropping the dog off at the in-laws.
Until after my trip, you all have a good week!

According to my Husband: I'm a Fruit Loop
People who know me think I'm super anal about EVERYTHING.
I would say they are exactly right.
Everything has it's place, and sometimes that place is in chronological order, size, shape, and or color.
Unfortunately, we have seen said behavior from our son. Which I swear I didn't teach him a thing.
That being said let me paint you a picture of how crazily anal retentive my husband thinks I am.
My Mom is doing schoolwork with lil man and she is teaching him numbers, letters, and colors. One of her projects she wanted to do is work on a Fruit Loop necklace for little man to take with us on our trip to the Oregon Coast next week. While doing this she figured she would separate them out by color and work on his colors with him.
Enter in several hours later after they have been put away in separate zip lock bags, by color in the pantry, my husband who comes home from work. He goes into the pantry comes out and goes "UH babe what's with the Fruit Loops?"
Momentarily I gasp, and think "WTF? Is that how crazy he thinks I am?" Then I just start cracking up and tell him what they are really for. But I spent the rest of the night acting appalled that he would think I was that much of a loon to separate my cereal out by color.
We laughed pretty hare about it the rest of the night, and telling friends and family who know me laughed their asses off.
It's Friday, so that means it's long run day for me. Got in a 4 miler this morning. It was a nice steady run at about an 11 minute pace. Starting out kind of sucked because my legs were sore from yesterdays Crossfit session. After getting into the run the soreness was gone, but it came back with a vengeance later. Also, this was the hubby's longest run since he joined me running this year. So proud of him!!
It's the weekend! Means being lazy and getting some stuff around the house done. A few errands and of course going to the lake to enjoy a sunny Sunday at the water!!
Have a good weekend!

Link-up To Pimp Myself Out
I've done the link up before, and I got one extra follower for the first time that I did it. Jake and Holly are both awesome bloggers that I stalk daily. Jake is my only male follower, and he has been a bit MIA lately so it's nice to see him around periodically.
So here is my Finish the sentence link up....
Until next time!
So here is my Finish the sentence link up....
If I had one extra hour in the day... I would take the easy way out and take sleep. I only get 6 hours, 7 if I'm lucky, so I would choose the sleep so I could still workout and not feel guilty for sleeping extra!
I wish my name...would soon become the one uttered on people's blogs as the new person to follow.
I think anything chevron is...just not my style.
My last nightmare...involved some sort of apocalyptic event with zombies, and vampires. Currently reading a vampire novel, and saw World War Z recently. My brain likes to morph my dreams based on my current book/movie/Tv Show
Sometimes...I wish I was one of those people who really spoke what was on my mind, but I feel I wouldn't have a job/family/friends.
My last meal on earth would be...all things pastry, I am a fat kid who LOVES her cake.
I would much rather be on a beach sipping fruity drinks than sitting in my WINDOWLESS office wearing my Army uniform (102 degrees today).
Mayonnaise...should only be Best Foods (Helmans on the East Coast). It should not be served warm in deviled eggs.
10 years ago, I didn't think...I would still be working on my Bachelor's. Seriously thought I would be living the good life solving crime, and being badass.
Selfishly...I don't give a crap about the people I help at work, because in my eyes 70% of them are working the effing system, and I want to tell them to man the fuck up and be a soldier.
My favorite show on TV right now...is Dexter! Seriously, how did I not discover this awesomeness until now? I'm currently on Season 4 desperately trying to catch up for Season 8 that just started.
And, George Zimmerman...the prosecutions case was a joke. But he was found not guilty, and if he really was guilty, karma will get him. OJ Simpson ring a bell?

| I laughed so hard when I saw this! Sums up the last two questions! |
Until next time!

Here Goes Another Round
Round 99 of restarting the blog??
Is anyone still out there??
I'm still here, riding along on the ride that we call life.
It's been 3 months since my last blog post.
On the military front, I transferred to a new unit, and it's been fantastic! A lot slower than I am used to, but I am adjusting and definitely liking it. It's hard for me to get used to new people, because I'm really shy and it's hard for me to put myself out there.
We did our "2 weeks" in June and it was a lot of classroom stuff. The best part was the second to last day where we did Land Navigation, and because we share our military operation space with civilians who like to go out and shoot off their weapons, we literally got shot at!! Made for an interesting time.
Passed my military fitness test, like a boss!! I even had to stop for about 30 seconds because a soldier had fallen out. Unfortunately my weigh-in was dismal:
On the school front, I got accepted into my Medical Laboratory Science program! Which means I have two study semesters and a 12 week internship, then this Mamacita I DONE! Eeeeep!! It's going to be a super hard year, but I can survive it. I'm so close I can taste the end, so I hope that will help with the motivation to finish this.
I also applied for the ADA County Deputy Coroner position again, doubtful they will want me any more than six months ago. But I will keep trying, so that when I do finally have my degree they will snatch me up because of my eagerness.
That's all for now. Until later!

Weight: 214
Hips: 47
Waist: 34.5
Neck: 14.5
Body Fat: 41%
Needless to say I had not been doing well.
Which leads me to the fitness front. I got my butt back into gear the beginning of June, being more consistent and it showed in my July 13th weigh-in.
Weight: 210
Hips: 46
Waist: 33
Neck: 14.5
Body Fat: 38%
I attribute the change to the fact that I finally incorporated weights, or body weight crossfit. All I have really cared to do over the last year or so was running. Unfortunately, for me that isn't enough. Keeps me fit, but not good for the weight loss. I have been running 3 times a week and doing body weight crossfit 2 times a week. Which I hope to increase to minor body weight stuff on my short run days.
I started training for my half marathon at the end of June. I'm excited to try to get a sub 2:30 half. It is in October so I have plenty of time. I did not get the hubby convinced to do so, but that's ok, because I like that it's still MY thing!
In family news, my lil man is quite the 'swimmer.' I use that term loosely because he doesn't actually swim, the occasional doggy paddle maybe, he just likes to jump in and out of the water dunking himself, and holding his head under water. He is a bit stubborn trying to learn the swimming part, but we will get there. A bit of a dare devil = possible giant future heart attacks for Mom.
The hubby and I just recently celebrated the 5 year anniversary of our first date. I'm amazed that time has flown by so fast. I love my husband more every day. He knows how to brighten my day and make me smile. Even with his inappropriate suggestiveness. He is still running with me, although I'm sure he will stop joining me on my Friday runs once I get past 6 miles.
