Hello all my june bug friends. Im afraid i have completely neglected this site in like 3 mths. My husband was preparing to once more deploy to Iraq and i just didn't want to deal with anything else. Im sad to say I have not lost much of anything the last 3 mths(thankfully havent gained though) but I also know it is completely my fault. I have not exercised and we have eaten out alot, and I have only had one fill. My husband is now deployed, :blush: and I am ready to re-dedicate myself to the band. On monday i go up and get another fill. right now i have 3.5 cc but my band is 14 and it feels like nothing in their. I am also starting to back at the gym. Im so inspired by all of you, i have seen several of you in the 80+ mark, thats remarkable in 6 mths. You completely inspire me to get going, stop being sad, the hubby is gone, what done is done, and to kick it up to level 10 so when i see him on R&R i can wear a seriously sexy stellar outfit. I will start checkin in at least 2 x a week on the boards cause i know this support system is what will keep me kickin. Thanks to all of you for the support, and the inspiration this site rocks:thumbup:

First of all...want to send thanks to your DH for defending our county and to you for everything you are going thru because of your DH's deployment. Hang in there. I know what a tough job it can be for you. I am not a spouse but both my boys are in the service and my oldest was a gunner in Iraq for a year. I befriended a lot of the young mothers in our unit and know it is not an easy job to keep things in tact during deployment. My oldest son is out of the service now and does not have to go back with his unit when they deploy in the spring. I am co-chairing our family readiness group (started 3 mo. ago). At least I feel like I am doing SOMETHING to help out. My youngest son has been in the service for nine years and has 4 remaining. Anyway, "hugs" to you and your family.

Just doing what you have preparing for your DH to leave is very stressful. As you said, you didn't lose but you didn't gain either so you are keeping yourself on track under the circumstances. You do have the right attitude about getting busy now that your DH is gone and making a difference b/4 you see him again. Something you aim for. I admire your determination. That's what it takes!

God Bless you and your family.

Glad you are back, nice to see a fellow Army wife. I am so sorry yur DH is being deployed again. I know how tough it is, My DH has been home for a year now from his last deployment and hopefully it will be awhile again since we are now at a non-deployable unit. Good luck to you!!! Ang
