Going for a walk

So going on a walk counts as exercise right? These last couple of days haven't been as awesome as far as eating wise goes.......But I haven't been completely stuffing my face excepts for just chowing down on some cereal out of the bag when I got home from work.......Oops? Anyways heres to hoping that a walk with the bf will count as some exercise :) Obviously it does count as better than doing nothing so I feel ok about it I suppose.....Maybe I should attempt an ab workout or something later.......Hmmm that's pretty ambitious for me! :)

Also am possibly planning on running my first half marathon in the future. Yeah yeah I know I always talk about doing it but I think if I actually pay for one that I actually might do it then. That's good logic right?

Welcome to Bosnia

So I am about 100% sure that no one is actually reading my blog anymore or even keeping updated on it. Alright that's ok because I'm pretty sure that is my fault since I totally suck at updating! I realized when I was reading some of the previous posts that my blog seems to be more about my relationships than anything else......Apparently I am now on my 3rd boyfriend since starting this blog :) Haha but that's another story.......It could be partly why I gave up working out for quite awhile. I am totally one of those people when they get stressed out, I give up working out as the first thing and then become a binging blob. Yeah it's the sad truth, but at least I know it's the truth and can't deny it! I think since I was in Kosovo for almost 18 months too and now am in Bosnia where it is completely different aka I can have a semi-normal life, I have just been decompressing from the 18 months deployed to a much busier environment and enjoying not doing anything. However I am now (probably a little too late) realizing that yes it's nice to not do anything and enjoy eating and drinking and doing whatever I want that my body doesn't exactly appreciate it. It could explain why I have this tire around my stomach.....Boooooo to that. Actually it kind of reminds me of one of those blow up floaty rings that has like a duck head or something on it that 7 year olds use. I also am thinking my legs look more cellulitious (yes I'm pretty sure that's a word!) than I can ever remember in my life. Super sad face for all of this. However I am determined that I need to change all of this before I leave for home (FINALLY!!) in 3 months. I feel like this could be an achieveable goal.....10 lbs perhaps or more? I am not going to get too crazy or anything because I know I am not always the most motivated but I think it could be different this time. Plus I think I have to get my boyfriend to motivate me too.......He's pretty good at it I think. Ha let's see what happens!

So let's see what else is new and interesting.........well I have been doing quite a bit of bike riding around here. It is fascinating to me and my boss also (she's American as well) that almost all of the other Americans on our base (it is a multinational base with around 20 different nationalities living here) drive EVERYWHERE. You have to keep in mind the whole perimeter around the outside of the base is only 2.25 miles......So yes most people drive rather than go on a 5-10 min walk. How lazy can you seriously get? It blows my mind that's for sure! And we wonder why Americans are so overweight.......

Ok so enough of my random writings for tonight.......until next time (which I hope is not a long time little blog).
