Life Update

Things are just kinda plodding along. It is going from warm to hot in a hurry. I seem to have found a workout and diet combination that is giving me gains on fitness/ strength and improved body composition/ weight loss. I am really enjoying the exercise part. Things are really starting to click and I am being intentional enough about my diet to adjust as necessary to get the desired results. In terms of meeting my New Years resolutions we have made some progress. We are debt free and have purchased a solidly decent used SUV. I am improving with excel and powerpoint which is good. Also getting into better all around shape. Probably approaching the all around best shape of my life. Don't get me wrong, I have been WAY stronger and WAY faster but not at the same time. In terms of other skills I am not doing much of anything I had planned on. I am learning a few new things but that could always be said of life. I haven't acquired any stuff that was on the list. That really isn't a big deal, I just haven't been messing with it. I need another thing to occupy my time like a fish needs a bicycle. Wifey and Walker are doing well. My time is a lot more limited than it has been in other places and other deployments so I am not getting some stuff done that I want to. I would like to be reading but when I get off work the last thing I want to do is think. I typically watch an hour and change of TV on my computer (saved on a HD) and then go to bed.  I have been trying to do some professional/ foreign affairs/ intelligency reading at least every couple days. I enjoy that stuff so it is cool. Life here is pretty boring but occasionally there are interesting events. Weeks are slipping by which is good. I am getting settled in and figuring out a fairly sustainable battle rhythm which is good.
