Or how about every month...?

OK So it's been much later than a weekly update.. so much for that pledge!
What has happened since I last posted.... hmmmm.
I started at Cross Fit Junction and have dropped a lot of inches and a little weight. This last month the gym has been doing a "Whole30" competition. Everyone starts with 5 points and then as they cheat lose points, whoever has the most points still in tact at the end wins. Thus far no cheats for me! It hasn't been easy, I've gone to weddings, bachelorette parties (yes, I REALLY could've used a few margaritas before the pole dancing lessons started), family dinners, birthdays, and going away parties but I've managed. There. That's me patting myself on the back.

ANYWAY, when I started this blog, I weighed 174.5 lbs. I am now at 163.5 lbs so still 20 lbs to lose to hit my weight goal for the Marine Corps.

I will post some of the recipes I made during the whole30 hopefully soon... my timing estimates are usually off... by a lot.  :)

Accountability

I have wanted to be a Marine since I was a little girl. In my family a female in the military is unacceptable- so I always pursued different careers. First it was music, I changed my major within music 4 times and finally just settled with Liberal Arts to get a degree and move on. I've looked into wilderness colleges, EMT, nursing, business, accounting, and trying to make my housekeeping job into a viable source of income. I have remained dissatisfied with my occupation. As of a year ago, I decided to actively pursue a career with the Marine Corps. As of 3 months ago I decided I would quit my job and move home to work on school and train. After a rather brutal PT with the local recruiting office I started to feel the gaping whole between my current physical and mental conditioning and where I should be when I go to boot camp. This blog is my accountability. Warning to anyone who may stumble upon it unawares, there will be frustration, probably some very disjointed "spewing" and I'd imagine some self-deprecation on my part. I pledge to myself brutal honesty with myself about how I handled my workouts, mental conditioning, and food for the week. I will note my weight, measurements, and other noteworthy changes on a weekly basis.
So here we go!
