Oh Hey There

I haven't weighed in for weeks.  Haven't been to the gym.  We're supposed to go either tonight or tomorrow because I want my teal nail polish and I want it bad.  So I'll be off to see if I've lost 5 lbs.  I guess because I'm so uber casual about this I just don't care.  I've reached this odd point where I know that I can lose the weight if I want.  And since cooking for one is easy as fish, veggie, potato this should be simple.  So I'm not stressing about this while we prepare G for deployment.

But what I find hilarious is that I'll look and notice, hmm, my thighs are more flat.  And I won't have noticed because I've stopped looking so much.  I'll ask G and he'll smile at me like, "Yes, you silly little fool." and say yes, they have.  I'm usually so obsessive that I think he's a little startled that I haven't noticed.  However, amusingly enough, I've been more obsessed with his weight.  G doesn't like to waste time in the mornings eating breakfast when he could be snuggling with me, and unfortunately lately neither of us has had a huge appetite so I've noticed he's gotten too thin.  I've challenged him to put on muscle weight while he's gone, and we've talked about how to deal with chow hall choices.  We've even discussed what condiments and spices he wants me to send to help with food.  And he'll be telling me what they have so I can come up with ways to tweak it better.  It sounds odd, but other than being away from me, the only thing he is dreading is the food. 

I'm excited to see the weight come off over the time he's gone.  My biggest goal is to have changed just enough that he won't recognize me.  I've told him I think it will be fun to sit at the airport and watch him look for me.  He won't be reading this blog, so he won't know what's going on, but you my dear friends and readers will!  I will be posting about the weight coming off.  As well as some other fun things.  I'm considering getting extensions put in for some more body/volume, dying my hair, eyelash extensions, etc.  And while I edit my wardrobe I'll be sharing the process I've chosen to use, and how well it's working.  The end goal is to be healthy and happy so that G and I can continue this amazing life we've finally begun living again.  (Oh, and to be sexy as hell when he comes home.  A girl's gotta look good for her returning airman!)

And I'm curious....if you could try one new/crazy beauty idea, what would it be?  Fire engine red hair?  A super chic bob?  Crystal studded eyelashes?
