First I want to thank ALL of you for all the support and help you guys give me, even if its just from reading old posts. This is a WONDERFUL place.

The bad news(always first of course)... I have decided to accept the fact that I am NOT superwoman and have changed my date for boot camp from May 10th to Early September. After talking to my Cheif and evaluating my abilities we decided it was for the better. Im trying not to be disappointed in myself.

The GOOD news... I am now in military standards, weighing in this morning at 170 lbs and 26% body fat. AND... I have lowered my running time one whole minute from last months drill weekend. I ran an 18:11 mile and half earlier. I am ridiculously giddy about this. You all are super support for me and I LOVE YOU ALL!:big_smile::big_smile::big_smile::big_smile:

yeah, it doesn't matter when you go to boot camp, but more so that you are mentally and physically ready.

Good Luck!!
