Giving up and setting goals

Well all, here we go. Life is good, except for the lack of sleep that I get from thinking too much. It happens, but I will not let it affect me negatively.

When I started this whole process, it was because I have wanted to do this for a long, long time. It was also a knee jerk reaction to an event that I wont go into detail about. However, at the time I set up a few goals for myself and here is the progress on the goals. Those of you that are daily readers, already know some of this.

1) Lose 100 lbs- Well I am down a total of 98.8 lbs total. My goal was to be at 200 lbs by September. Its barely August and I am weighing in at 207.2.... Not too bad, but the goal is in my sight. I will ultimately like to be at 185, so I don't have to worry about army standards anymore.

2) Quit drinking until I can control it- Well obviously I can control it. I haven't had a drink in 214 days. I don't really crave it anymore. The reason I used to drink was to sleep, and to forget about problems. Those are totally the wrong reasons to drink. However, recently for some reason, I have been craving a Corona... Its probably the beach in me.

3) Get back into the Army- Tomorrow, I meet with my recruiter. Next Tuesday, I go to MEPs as long as everything goes good tomorrow night. I hate to say it, but I'm a little nervous. I've worked so hard for this, and its finally becoming a reality. Basic and AIT will be interesting to say the least.

4) Fix myself so that I can be with someone else again- This one is a little harder, however, I think I am fixed. I have a girl that I have know for 3 or 4 years that waiting for me, but like I told her, I can't do anything until I accomplish one of the other goals I have set. She's a good one, we get along great, but I sort of feeling bad for making her wait. I can actually trust her, and those that know me, know that I have trouble trusting anyone that isn't related to me.

Well that's my progress report. If everything goes well, I will have accomplished at least one goal next Tuesday. Wish me luck, I'm gonna need it.

Hope everyone has a great day!
