*rubs eyes* G'Morning
Sorry for being so lax on writing this week. Our base was in exercise and they had me working 6-6 all week long. IT sucked. Not to mention the new base policy about working out. Okay, I work out 5-6 times a week. I do either yoga or pilates every day except on Sunday. I’ve been watching my diet and have lost about 13 lbs. I started out at about 141-142 and now I am down to 128. But that is just not good enough for the military, they want me fit as a marine…never mind that I’m getting out in 5 months. :P So now they’ve mandated that the entire squadron has PT Monday, Tuesday, and Friday. So that means this past week, I’ve done more pushups and situps than I care to mention and it also explains why I feel like I was ran over by a bus.
I went to a PTL led session on Wednesday. Our PTL leader made us each do 30 pushups and situps. I was thinking, well this isn’t too bad… Then he grabs these two basketballs and says that if we make a basket from the free throw line that we only have to do 5 pushups and situps, but if we miss we have to do ten. I missed every time, we did that 6 times. Then, to further my humiliation, he made us do wheelbarrow races. Yep… I couldn’t believe it either. Whoever lost the race had to run 15 laps. I fell down on the way back to the finish line, so my partner just dragged me across the filthy gym floor. It was a great day. :P It was like gym class from hell. And you’d think I would have lost 1-2 pounds from all the torture, but now… I stayed the same weight all week. What is up with that????
Oh well. I finally got my cute new bathing suit in the mail and it fits me perfectly. I bought it cause it looks just like the one Madonna wore in Swept Away. :o) No I’m not obsessed. Okay maybe a little. I have to admit, she is my workout inspiration. Anytime I start to feel a little lazy or discouraged, I put on Swept Away and I’m like, damn, that women is the same age as my Mom, and she looks way better than me….Gotta keep on movin’.
I’m going to get my birthday facial today. I figured after a week of such abuse I needed some pampering. We’re having a bunch of friends over tonight for a cookout. We’re doing some surf n’ turf…. Lobster and Steak. Mmmmm… That’s on my diet right? More later…

Your experiences in PT sound like unadulturated hell to me. It's bad enough trying to do pushups on my own, much less having them mandated. G-d bless you for simply being in the service. My stepfather is a retired Brig. General, so observing his life and the lives of those under his command were quite eye opening. I LOATHE him! He's the meanest SOB you could ever meet. But enough of him. Did you say birthday? When is the happy day?
haha... the happy day has already coem and gone, but got a Spa Gift certificate from Tim, so I used part of it today and got a facial. If I look red and blotchy, that is why. :)
