Taking one day and two miles at a time...

Long overdue update...I think, mainly because some of the keys on my keyboard are jamming so I had to dig through my stuff to find my usb keyboard. But in news, I'm still walking/running at least 2 miles a day..I know I'm suppose to rest for a few days but considering I'm not running the full two miles and I haven't been two beat up after it I think I'm ok for now.  I'm still trying to get to my goal weight so I can get the military thing started but I hit plateau for the past two weeks and I'm trying to figure out how to get around it.  I've changed everything for staggering calories to intensifiying my workout.  But I think I just started a bit too strong and my body is playing catch up now.

In other news I found out that once Matt gets his visa and moves to the states I will no longer but allowed to stay at my parents house...sad I know.  But I'm trying to think only about the positives now, plus my brother said we can stay with him because he really likes Matt and he knows how hard it will be for us to get started. This is why I'm pushing for the military thing now.  I really need a steady job and I think I'll do well in the military, right now Matt and I have nothing in the US no home and no jobs lined up;however  if I join the military I think it will be a good jump start for us, plus I really want to go to grad school without adding more to my student loan debt.

So my plan is to work hard and lose the weight for the next two months, get over to MEPS sign the paperwork and if I have time in between I will take my pension from Korea to get a ticket back to visit Matt, depending on how much time I may even do a short term teaching contract.  It seems simple but I know it won't be easy but when I think of how life could be if it all works out it makes me work even harder.

Also I told Matt if I join the military we are having a wedding, so people be on the lookout for invites...maybe in the next year or two :))

I'm glad you're posting again. I really do wish you the best with everything. Thankfully you have a brother who seems to be really kind.

Thanks for the comments!!

@Aritul I'm very grateful that my older brothers are always there for me; plus Matt and my brother are like twins

@kimvan, I am super stressed but Matt keeps telling me to take it easy, I'm don't view myself as being religious but I know that God is looking out for Matt and I; we both agreed that our life is going to be a little hard but we'll get to where we want to be
