Getting Soldier Strong

SO... I have lots of updates!
I am constantly wanting to blog, because I am constantly doing fun things! If I could figure out how to blog from my phone, I would do it! But...it's just so much more convenient to type. I've missed typing! It comes so easily to me. It's like a breeze going through my hair or something, especially compared to texting. Texting is hard. haha.

I really have been having awesome adventures lately. The reason I  never write is because I'm always so dang tired when I finally get home and have time to go on the computer! I literally never come on here, pretty much, unless something doesn't work right on my phone. I miss going on the computer all the time. My phone is just not the same. Part of the reason I never have motivation to go on the computer is because my computer is REALLY RIDICULOUS. I can't wait to get a new one.  Anyways, moving on.

Aside from my fishing, horseback, the beach, and generally being outside more...I have a GREAT new adventure that I'm starting.

Basically...I've decided to join the army. I could make a huge long story out of this, but...most of the people that read this have basically already heard it. I'm joining the National Guard sometime after I move to Florida (if all works out for me), and I'm hoping to be a journalist or photojournalist of some sort. My degree is in English and Writing, so it would make sense that I do some kind of writing for the Army. I have friend connections (Stephanie Way!) that I need to talk to in order to really figure out what I want to do in the Army. Basically, it will be a good way for me to start some sort of career, since I have absolutely no idea what I want to do with my life at this point.

*big breath*

SO, my new adventure is getting in shape! I'm terrible at running, and push ups, and sit ups for that matter! All things that you do LOTS of in the army. My best friend in the world was in the Army for 6 years...so he's given me lots of tips about what it's like. Anywho...I'm just in bad shape in general. For the past couple weeks I've been counting my calories, trying to eat better, and exercising every day (walks with the dogs in the morning and then some other kind of harder cardio in the evening, along with the sit-up, push-up, and other army exercises that I'm now doing at the advice of my bff). I'm not even trying to loose that much or look that much better (though I do know this will be an awesome bonus...especially for summer)... I just want to be healthy and in shape enough to join the army!

*whew* that was long. I tried to make it short, but it was long.

Today I went fishing for three hours, which (according to my calory counter, myfitnesspal.com... if anyone has one, add me as a friend! I don't know how. haha) burned 459 calories! haha. Then I came home and did pilates. Let me just say that my abs are sore!

I've definitely started taking on a different attitude about my life and my work outs since I decided I want to join the Army. I am starting to think less "I can't"s and more "get some!" hahaha...but really, I am pushing myself harder to not give up and get things done. And I want to push through the beginnings of working out and having a sore body and not give up on working out because "I'm tired." Waa. Cry me a river, build a bridge, and get over it.

Aaaaanyways...I will be updating more as I do new fun and exciting work out adventures now too! Yay adventures adventures! At least my "limbo" that I feel like I'm stuck in has been and will be exciting!

(If you read all of that...thanks. Much love)
