All the soldiers that are overseas Fight for Our Country! Stay safe and my prayers are with you.............
IF YOU'RE NOT IN LOVE WITH A SOLDIER
IF YOU'RE NOT IN LOVE WITH A SOLDIER
If you're not in love with a soldier, you can't know adventure.
You don't know smelly gray PT uniforms that require a daily washing.
You can't understand green and brown camouflaged bags flooding your bedroom floor.
If you're not in love with a soldier, you can't understand the meaning of the phrase "going to the field" and the weeks you spend away from each other.
If you're not in love with a soldier, you can never imagine the hole in your heart when that phone call comes? "Honey, I am leaving tomorrow to go overseas. I don't know how long I will be gone or exactly where I am going, but I want you to know that I love you - always!"
If you're not in love with a soldier, you don't know what it's like to say that final good-bye.
You don't know what it really means to be glued to the television.
You don't understand fear and you can't possibly understand the sleepless nights of endless crying wondering if you will ever see the love of your life alive again.
If you're not in love with a soldier, you can't know the immense joy, the uncontrollable smile, or the butterflies in your stomach when you see your soldier march into the family waiting area upon redeployment.
You can't understand the self-control it takes to stand on the other side of the room as some higher-up gives a seemingly endless welcome home speech while all the soldiers stand in formation.
You don't know what it's like to have that second first kiss or what it's like to experience puppy love all over.
If you're not in love with a soldier, you can't truly understand how to make every moment count because you never know when that phone call may come again.
If you're not in love with a soldier, you can never really understand how very delicate life really is!

I was 115 lbs when I got pregant with my first son and I gained 90 lbs. I think I never really tried to lose the weight because I felt rejected by his father who took off when I told him I was pregant. So I raised my son by myself and food made me feel better. It did not help that we owned a family restaurant and I had access to food. I have not been under 200 lbs since 1987. I meet my husband in 1994 and He loved me for who I was not what I looked like so it was easy to stay the way I was. We were married in 1996 and had my second child when I was 30 I only gained 13lbs with her then I had my third gained 13lbs with him and my last I gained 60lbs I got up to 270lbs I did manage to lose 40 of the weight I gained with him. Then my husband was sent overseas for a year I wanted to lose weight for him while he was gone and did manage to get down to 220lbs then 2 years ago found out I had Rheumitiod Arthrist and with all the medications I am on I gained 48 lbs in 2 months thanks to the steriods. I did lose some weight after I stopped the steriods but was stuck at 265 lbs then They put me on them again and this time I lost weight being on them I giot down to 255lbs. since starting this journey I have lost 6lbs in 1 week and I am actually excited to go workout. Which i have not done in years because I had no one to do it with. My son is a professional MMA fighter so he trains all the time he went with me on Wednesday and showed me how to use the eliptical since it would be easy on my knee ( have surgery on Nov. 9th 2007 to reconstruct my knee the Rheumitiod had destroyed my knee and I could not walk without a walker (at 40 using a walker was depressing) So we started with the eliptical for 10 minutes then over to the treadmill then the bikes I was shocked I could actually last 10 minutes on all three. So last night I went back to the YMCA and while my daughter and her 2 friends went and swam I went into the gym by myself (big accomplishment for me since I am scared to do anything by myself) and did all three again for 10 minutes each and this time it flew by quick.
