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!
