Desert Fire

[yellowmoomba]

ha! Way to go! Be the light to and for others! Glad y'all had a good Christmas! Can't wait to see pics of the new boat! I picked up my friend's jetskis for cheap in AZ....am now gonna have to get out of here...get there and run 'em!

When are you done and coming back to USA?

 

[Burner02]

Definitely next year. We get our contract rebid in March. If they hump us again (I took a HUGE paycut this past spring) I will come home at my End of Contract; May. if stays the same, will extend six months to November to make up the $$ I am not making this year.

 

[yellowmoomba]

Good luck....stay safe.

 

[Burner02]

Thanks brother! Then again, watching/reading the news...I do sometimes feel safer here than there... ok...do you have the problem as I do?...I can't press enter and get a next line down.. It keeps going, like word wrap. I'll have to go check my settings.

So, still here. Signed on for one more, full year, so 10 May, 2015.....def outta this place. Planning HUGE road trip on west coast to celebrate. That's then. This is now....got back from R&R in March. Got slammed w/ having to upgrade all the equipment I maintain in my area. Than had to add on two certifications...Now that...that is done...been starting back. Again. (I know) But...making use of this base. Started walking...the 3.75 mile perimeter last couple weeks. Now, have added in whole body 3X a week 1 body part, 3X10 sets for the next couple weeks to get primed to go full tilt the rest of this summer. Will do the lifting in the mid-morning and then the hour of walking/jogging or biking (have a crappy mtn bike here) 5X a week....eating decent....its a mine field of food here...get it? Mine field? I'm in a war zone? Gosh, I's still a cunning linguist...So, plan to see more activity in the log again...the good kind...not just shooting the breeze kind.

BTW: What the hell is the deal with this format now? I can't do a 'carriage return?' Can't hit 'enter' for new line. Guess will have to type up in word and paste? oi

 

[Burner02]

So today was cardio day. Walked perimeter for 4.25 + miles? Need to get someone to drive it for me to measure. pace is reasonable. Tomorrow is whole body. Feel the drive coming....light that fire...feed the beast and all that...

Every day is like 'ground hog day' here.
Took too many days off, so had to go.
Well, time to go wash off my face and hit the rack.
Have a good one!

 

[Burner02]

Went for a walk/jog/run/wheeze this afternoon. 3.75 mile around the perimeter. last 1/4 of the perimeter, I started to jog then walk and repeat and then continued on around for at least another 1/2 more ir more. Will see if the guy I ride to the chow hall with will drive it and get the distance.

 

[Burner02]

yesterday's jaunt: right at 5 miles. My goal is back to looking at least 'normal fit' y R&R, mid-Nov.
Currently...230-ish. Goal is to get as close to 200 or under.
Want to be able to bench/squat/row in the two plate range again
Would be great if can jog the entire 5 miles.

= lots of work in the next 4.5 months...

 

[yellowmoomba]

Good start...Keep at it

Spoke with the team lead today. NOT going to get my Nov/Dec R&R approved. Too short manned. Will take my 28 days in Feb/March.
Good news: I have 6 months to workout and get myself back into shape
Bad News: I have 6 more months till I get to go on R&R. (Will be 1 year from last R&R)

...and I'm back. Wow...lots has happened.
I was GREAT in the gym, my cardio/walking was good..was about to start using my stuff I brought back from Thailand. And....I got my pink slip. I was let go at the beginning of September.
I relaxed a bit and then picked a direction. I am taking classes to get my windows server 2012 mcsa cert as well as cisco ccna cert to get viable again.
Will bed done in April.
I got my test levels checked and they were low. So I am notgetting a 1ml shot of test in the ass a week.
Feeling a lot better now. More ?balanced.? This really tookoff in December. Also cleaned up the diet, stopped my monsters, pretty much cutout soda. Cutting sugars and carbs?and lowering my food portions. From mid-Decto A couple weeks ago, back down 10lbs. It?s a step in the right direction!
Strength is coming up, and working around the injuries.
Feeling better. Starting to date again?.
Just get thru these next few months and get these certspassed and back to working?and all will be well.
Hope to be back here regularly again
Be well and see ya around the weight pile!
