Welcome to my blog! This is going to chronicle my separation from my husband. On January 30, 2012, my 400-day separation from my husband will begin due to his deployment. This blog will be my way of passing the time.
I don't just want to pass the time by writing in this blog like it's my journal. I want to use this to chart my journey. This blog was originally going to be called: 400 miles in 400 days where I would run 400 miles in 400 days...but I decided not to do that. Not because it would be too hard or because it would be too easy (come on, I'm not that cocky), but because I don't want it to be just about that.
I want my blog to be about my journey of living a better life. And if that means running 400 miles in 400 days, then great. But I'm not going to limit myself. Maybe I'll run 500 miles. I'm also going to eat better, exercise more, use less makeup, and do things I didn't have the courage to do before...like getting back into dance.
Now, one might say, why wait until he leaves to make such positive changes to my life? That's easy. Because I have a very addictive personality and once I start something, I will focus a lot of my energy on that...and I really don't want to do that before my husband leaves. I want to focus on enjoying our last 45 days together for awhile. Also, it's Christmas. Starting a diet before Christmas would be cruel.
I also believe in indulgence. And you better believe that before January 30th, I will be indulging myself to the max!
Well, it's late and I should be going to bed. I've been putting it off (obviously) because I hate going to bed alone (hubby's at training). I guess I'll have to get used to it. Or invite our pup, Bisbee, up into bed to keep me company...
