Boots on Ground!

Well I've made it. I have to send out this dislamer to all this blog site is for my journaling purposes only. I cant give out to many details or anything about my mission and all but just my personal experiences for more elaborate details or to talks specifically email me rvictoryr@gmail.com. Okay now lets move on.
So I step off the plan and unbenowst to me it wasn't as hot as everyone predicted. I don't know if it is because Im orginally from the mother land of africa and maybe handling the heat is in my blood line or it could be because we arrived ato 0400 and it was cool. As the day went on I did start feeling the heat. We unloaded all of our luggage and had to carry it to our tents. I forced myself to stay up and not sleep the day away so I could acclimated to the time difference. So I roamed around and met up with my girl from bethesda and she took me around to my place of work and where i would eventually be living. So that was cool to finally see my home for the next 6 months.

So let me just tell you about some of my amenites in this "deployment" 24 hr gym, movie theater, personal trainer, swimming pool, 24hr starbucks, free laundry service. Meals served 4 times a day with anything you can imagine from order prepared omeletes to baskin robbinns shakes. They have 3 different meal lines from salad bar to hot grill line. Im determined to lose my 32 pounds and be 131 by the time I turn 31 on January 7th. So stay tuned to my weight journal and success. I will start that August 1st.

So all that know me know how if its going to happen to Robyn it happens. So Ive been battleing with this discomfort on my deary air (butt) of and on since January. I had the doctors look at it and she said it should go away on its on just take some warm baths. So i did that and it seem to go away. Well I guess with the change of temperature and me sitting on the ground and harder surfaces it has gotten worst since I've been here. Well guess what I am here in the ER getting ready to have a pilonidal cyst removed for more info go to http://www.emedicinehealth.com/pilonidal_cyst/article_em.htm

Which means I get to stay in the air conditioned hospital for a few days. To prevent infection they thought it would be better to stay inside versus outside in a tent!!! So Thank you GOD he always know what I need.

So I like to leave with this question if you had 6 months to yourself, no work, husband, kids or other distractions what would you do?

Wow! Well what would you need to do is the question? i could focus all on me, which would most likely make me a healthier, slimmer, well-rested, more focused, less stressed person.

I would sleep more, work out more, travel more, relax more, volunteer more, take time to read my bible more, spend more time with friends and just appreciate the little things more.

gurl... you are WHERE!!!! well they better take serious care of you!! and i want you out of that infermary(sp?) RIGHT NOW!!!! ok ok.. now that I have vented, I should be ok.... well well well.. what would I do.. like 'smilieone' said, i really shoud be doing all that stuff.. but i am so unmotivated sometimes.. so i would probably read some books (i can send you a few good ones), relax at the pool and get a tan, definitely explore (but dont go roaming off the base... it might not be safe out of those walls.. i am not sure), watch tv... (do yall have US stations, or is everything in another language and all you get is CNN.. that would be a drag), i probably would do some internet shopping.. oh and reading some stuff on the internet too ( i like history and boring stuff like that)..hmmm, what eles would i do... i am sure i would miss my friends and family.. but i would try not to dwell on that to much.. oh, and sleep... i would do that.. aaaannndd, i am sure everyday i would tell myself, "I am gonna go workout tomorrow, and i am gonna call that trainer too" blah blah blah,,, its all talk.... i probably wouldnt actually do it.. oh, and how about plan my next vacation... and track my finances...hmm, i guess i cant think of anything else..

Well so far I have finished a book called the five people you meet in heaven. very good. I have worked out almost everyday until my little procedure. And I am definitely getting my finances in order. So my goals are to lose weight, lose debt and gain greater spiritual relationship

What would I do? I have no idea. I think having the kids and the husband might be hard to deal with but at the same time, you will have something to look forward to every time you check your email and it would give you motivation to get back in one piece.

I lost a lot of weight after this surgery, but I would focus on working out more and losing weight so when I got back to the states, I would be SUPER sexxxxxxxy!

Working on strengthen my relationship with God and seeking other who want the same and just take it easy.

But that tent...not feeling that at all. Not feeling deployment at all!
