Today I started my campaign for better health. I spent a bunch of money on healthy food. I spent an hour at the gym and I sent up an actual menu.
I'm actually pretty excited. When I changed schedules I put on weight that I had worked so hard to lose two years ago. So, now I'm back to the grind. I don't have many specific goals, other then to lose the 10lbs I put on.
At the end of this, I want more energy, I want to make all areas of my life a little less chaotic.
I guess now is a good time to drop a bomb, I'm going to Iraq. I'm going as a privately contracted EMT. I'll be on the military base catering to the men and women out yonder. It's a twelve month contract. Now I just need to wait for the Department of Defense to decide that I'm indeed safe to be around America's Finest. So in preparation, I'm learning Arabic (Thank you, Rosetta Stone!), I want to learn some popular traditional Iraqi food. International night anyone?
So, this gym is pretty awesome. So far. All one day that I've been a member. The personal trainer isn't a drill sergeant, he wasn't cruel about the busted knee. All in all, a good experience
In other news, it's Christmas season! I love the Christmas season. People are happy. People are kind. I wish the Spirit of Christmas lasted all the time. I love that. I initially thought that I would be in Iraq for Christmas, and while I don't expect a White Christmas, I'm excited to spend this Christmas with my family. Well technically, I work on Christmas Eve and Christmas day. But home enough. Maybe that's why this Christmas seems so special.
Sunday we're expecting snow and fourteen degree weather! Bring it Mother Nature, bring it! :)
