A Work In Progress

“You've done it before and you can do it now. See the
positive possibilities. Redirect the substantial energy of
your frustration and turn it into positive, effective,
unstoppable determination.”

I found this quote today and I love it. I made myself a
list of personal expectations, printed out 5 copies and
posted it in random locations around the house, at the
bottom of my list I put this passage in big, bold print.
I'm feeling pretty empowered today and I fully intend to
make the most of the 6 months Snookums and I are
separated. When Snookums is home, my focus and energy is
solely on being the best wife and mother I can be. When
he's gone and the children are asleep I've still got 4
hours left in a day to work on myself and the person I'd
ultimately like to work towards. I don't say become
because I plan on working improving myself every day of
the rest of my life. I'll never reach a final product.
I'll go to my grave a work in progress.

I started a little project today. It's called the 50
million pound challenge. I've still got some weight to
lose before I get down to where I once was - where I'd
like to be again and I figured having a little moral
support couldn't hurt. I joined a group called the slim
and sexy military wives. The idea of the site is to help
each other lose weight in a positive way and help reduce
50 million pounds of extra weight Americans carry. It's
something to do. I like the tools the site has. The
groups, a weight and activity tracker, even an eating plan
if you want it. It's kind of neat :)

One of my personal expectations is to get to bed before
midnight every night. Last night I didn't fall asleep
until almost 6am. I found myself enthralled by An Officer
and A Gentleman. I've seen that movie at least twice
before, but I had to watch it again. I don't know why. I'm
really tired tonight, so I don't think getting to bed by
midnight should be too hard. In fact, I think I'll just go
now... Ciao.
