*I write these posts to keep track of the weeks during my husband's deployment. Each posts includes one happy picture, what I am grateful for each week, and updates on my ongoing projects*
Almost on schedule with my weekly updates. I have been all over the place with these, but theoretically I would like to post them every Saturday. This week had some hard moments. I have been dealing with some horrendous stomach pain that flares up every time I eat. According to my horrifying time with WebMD I am either dying, have gallstones, or just eat too many acidic foods and drink too much coffee. This definitely put a damper on my weekly goals of working out and eating well. I finally started feeling better on Friday. I hit the gym on the Saturday and we did the first round of our countdown to homecoming workout.
Those 99 push ups were brutal. I am heading back today to knock 95-90 out of the way.

Happy Picture
This picture is from about two weeks after our wedding. I was dropping Lane off for Ranger School. I would see him again in a few weeks for his eight hour pass, and then not again until December for graduation. I was really nervous dropping him off, but I am so proud of how well he did (no recycles!).
Deployment Gratitude
1. I am grateful for July! Turning that calendar every month is awesome. I love seeing the time fly by. By the end of this month we will be less than 3 months away. Cannot wait for that homecoming.
2. I am grateful for Asha. She has been very cuddly recently, and I love her sweet face.
3. Surprise evenings. Saturday night we had been planning on seeing a movie, but found out that a local theater group was putting on a musical. Our friend's son was in the play and we had a fabulous time.
4. I have been on the hunt for protein powder that wouldn't be all grainy in smoothies and mixed with almond milk. I finally found some and absolutely love it. I am excited to replace my fruit smoothies with these. Twenty grams of protein and almost no sugar.
Deployment Projects
I have really just been focusing on my chair. Once that is complete I will move on to the ottoman. My MIL is making pillow covers for me and I will get them this weekend.
Things to Buy:
Bookshelf for the office
Love seat for the living room
I could never IN A MILLION YEARS do 99 pushups. I've managed to do 10 a day for over a week and I'm barely surviving. ;)
ReplyDeleteIs the protein powder you found a national brand? I've been looking one that's high in protein, low in sugar, not grainy, and it sounds like you hit the jackpot!
ReplyDeleteI use the AMP Whey Protein in the chocolate flavor. I got mine at GNC. My friend has the same flavor in vanilla and it was pretty good too. It has about 20 grams of protein per scoop.
