Well, after gaining 30 pounds since my arrival here (175 to 205) I am now in the "cutting phase" of my exercise program. That means, ultra low fat diet, 2 proportioned meals a day vice 5 all you can eat, Abs classes 5 times a week and lots of Cardiovascular work - the treadmill is my friend. My plan is to get the 8 pack I've always wanted, and I know I can do it!
Other updates - let's see, the creature tried to break its way into my room again 2 nights ago. I did some recon outside and determined that it's likely either a mouse trying to squeeze its way through a crack in the A/C, a hyena scratching at the window or a supernatural Iraqi spirit warning me to beware the ides of August. I'll keep you all posted.
It's cooled off here for the moment, and the high today was only 119, and it actually dipped below 100 degrees for the first time in 2 weeks early this morning. It felt like the cool Hawaiian breezes I so fondly but now only vaguely remember.
My friend Barbara is out of the hospital and safe for the moment. I'm continuing to pray that she gets the help she needs. Thanks for all of your prayers also.
I'm going against all of your advice and looking into a Toyota Highlander Hybrid for my next vehicle, which if fuel efficient and good for the environment.
I've lost my first 2 games of Risk and my score is now 7 wins and 2 losses. We're done playing for the moment - you know what they say about too much of a good thing.
I'm giving Anthrax vaccinations to my squadron and all of my Marines are doing well. No casualties, everyone is safe and in good health at the moment, getting the job done.
And finally, the most exciting thing that happend to me today, I was the first person to enter the chow hall and the first person to leave. Know what that meant? It meant that when I put my tray down after dumping my garbage out, I was the first person to set down my tray, and that was the first time that's happend since I arrived here! Pretty exciting stuff, huh?
70 is the magic number......

175pds.......really RJ the last time you were 175 was the 90's. LOL! Anyway, we are both at the same point with our weight. Funny how that always happens with us. Remember we live parallel lives. LOL! Seems like your spirits are up. The next 2 months will fly by. Miss ya!
Well I am also trying to lose some wait and get trim and toned for my wedding in the summer'08. I am trying although it is quite difficult. Cheers to you. I am glad that Barbara is doing better and I will pray for her to stay strong. You take care and I hope that whatever is trying to get into your room is discovered.
RJ,
I thought that you and the creature of the night had an understanding. I'm disappointed that your creature isn't holding up his end of the bargain. I think its time your creature met your gun!
The girls and I have lost our working out MoJo! Want to help us find it? You will read about that in your letter. It’s going out tomorrow.
I am glad to hear Barbara is doing better. Please keep us posted on her recovery and send her our well wishes.
Angel Love,
Susan, Christopher & Justina
Reading your post made me realize that I never heard back from poolclick.com. So...I called them. 20 minutes later, they tell me that they'll have to return my call in 2 days. HUH??? According to their records, the thermometer was shipped out twice. Ya right. I told them that if I didn't get any satisfaction in 2 days, I would demand a refund and order the thermometer somewhere else. To all who read this: Do NOT do business with poolclick.com!!!
hope you manage to get the critter under control. i feel your pain--we have a groundhog (we think) eating our tomato crop in the garden. pretty ironic, huh? the same type of animal that tormented and bit you when you were a kid, requiring you to get a whole painful series of rabies shots, is the same one ruining my garden. LOL!! it would be funny, but it's not. at. all.
talk to you soon!
RJ,
Hate those critters! Hope it stays out! Good luck on the weight loss. I know how difficult that is. No more sweets from me. I hope these next two months fly by for you.
