Hey ya'll, happy Monday. =) You're right Casey, we need breaks from our blogs but not too long! LOL Oh & I was cracking up about your comment on the pic of my hubby. Isn't he totally weighed down with all that equipment?! Just think, there's also a bullet-proof vest under the uniform that weighs 30-40lbs (can't remember which). I've tried that thing on before and OMG, it's so heavy and then you add the uniform and the rest of the equipment. Oh, and the 130degree heat. WTF? I would pass out.

I can't say the date of my husband's return, but let's just say I am finally saying "weeks" instead of "months". Wooohooo! I can't believe I'm actually counting the days now. I'm afraid to though b/c of what happened last time we had a date (it was postponed a month), but what do we have if we don't have hope? I need to hang on to something. I can't wait until I'm telling you all about the homecoming ceremony. It's going to be pretty cool. Remember the butterflies you get when you're first dating, that first kiss, etc... I swear it's like that all over again. At least that's how it was when he came home for his 2wk leave in Feb. I was shaking & my heart was racing in the airport, I was that excited.

I was very hesitant to post this photo since I have the same suit as Lori & in NO WAY want to be compared to that hot bod!! She looks incredible! I just wanted to see how it looked since I'm taking it with us on our trip to St. Lucia. I don't see much improvement in muscle yet, but I think I'm leaning down a little. I've been "on it" 100% since getting to TN. My workouts are intense and my eating is clean clean. These next 2wks I've started new goals (working up to Jon's return, =) ). I'm cutting out dairy & I'm not eating any starchy carbs after 2pm. I'm doing 45-60min cardio 6x/wk on an empty stomach and am lifting 3x/wk. My lifting sessions have been around 75-90min. I want to lean out as much as possible before he gets home. This girl wants to look HOT! hehe

Just looked at my blog title, funny....the countdown is really closing down now. Will have to change that verrrrry soon. =) Thanks for checking in on me ya'll. Can't describe how much the support means.
