Rest Day

No gym for this girl today. I don't what it is, but I (and my body) just feel exhausted. I slept for ten hours, woke up and went right back to sleep for another two last night.I hope I'm not coming down with something. Either way, I just decided to give myself a day off. 


To make up for my lack of exercise today.... I will be upping my running distance tomorrow, since I haven't felt ANY leg pain in a while. If I still don't feel any after tomorrow, we'll work from there. Still going to knock out my lunges and planks, though. 


I got to talk to the boy! That is exciting news. It means he is safe and unhurt, and I can not worry for a few more days. This deployment may be the death of me. I've never been on this side of one, before. I've always thought of deployments from the military viewpoint, and how difficult it is for the service member. I guess I didn't realize how difficult it is for the families as well. The not knowing, waiting for some form of communication. The prayers and pleadings with God when you haven't had contact with them for a little while. It breaks your heart a little at a time. I'm grateful for the military and all it has provided me. I understand that the military serves a very important purpose, and is needed. But, I have come to realize I will be very glad on the day I can say my boy doesn't have to leave me to put himself at risk every single day.


Sorry for the novel. :)


Anyways. I just chatted with one of best friends and his girlfriend for like 3 hours. So I'm super tired and off to bed. I hope everyone has a great night/day!


FOOTBALL TOMORROW!

Candy Tastes Better With Soap

Went out on the town tonight for dinner. I ordered a chicken dish that was supposed to have coconut cream sauce, and got this:

It tasted worse than it looks. Yes. That is possible.

I also ordered this:

Quite possibly the most delicious clams ever. 

And finished the meal off with this:

Yummy gelato goodness.

Then I went home and instead of going to the gym ate a whole bunch of candy corn my best friend sent me. It came in a box with my Christmas present of Bath and Body Works, which had exploded. No, I just waste my candy corn just because it has a slight soap taste. Who do I look like, here?

Spent time tonight Skyping with above said friend and her fiance. Hey. The gym is super important, but eating candy and chatting with loved ones is better. Besides. I bust my booty at the gym. If I don't replenish those calories burned with candy, I might actually LOSE the weight I am trying to. Seriously, people. :)

Just kidding. I might still go to the gym. And for those who were commenting on my dedication to the gym by going at 2:30 am, don't let me fool you. I just work nights, so 2:30 am is like mid afternoon for me. The military frowns on healthy sleep schedules. Hehe.
