55 people we haven't heard from 🙁  No biggie… if you'd like to rejoin us… I'm happy to add your name back to our list… just let us know in the comments section 😀

I'd like to tell you all about my experience at the gym yesterday with my personal trainer.  I'm an "all or nothing" kind of girl… and when I'm there, I give 150%… and REALLY push myself.  Why go if I'm not going to work at it?!  Well… about after 45 minutes of an all out effort… I began to feel dizzy.  WHOA!  I started seeing white spots and couldn't walk in a straight line.  It was the STRANGEST feeling… and I never want to feel that way again.  I remember feeling sort of like that after a long run when I was training with the Army… but, never that bad.  Back then, I gave SO much of myself… I would NEVER fall out of a formation while running.  Once, we had to do an 8 mile base run… I was one of four women who stayed in the formation and never fell out.  We lost the other 40 or so.  When it came to pushups and situps… I had the female battalion record.  I used to max my Physical Fitness tests… can you believe THAT?!  With how awkward and short I am… I was somehow VERY strong.  However, I'm NOT in that kind of shape now…  So… a lesson learned… 140% will have to do… for now 😉 

And because you know I hate posts without photos… Here are some from my Army days.  I was in the Army National Guard for six years.  I spent about seven months active duty training in both South Carolina and Georgia.  These photos are from my training….

 

 This one I scanned in from the little yearbook think they give us.  I'm repelling off of a 60 foot wall famously referred to as Victory Tower.  I found a video of someone doing it here… if you're interested. 🙂  It feels MUCH higher up than it looks in that video. 😀  Oh… and it feels amazing on your butt! 😉 NOT!

 

 

 

 

 

My basic training battle buddy PVT Rohrer.  We were bunk mates 😀 

 

 

 

 

 

Here's one from Advanced Training (where I learned how to be a signal soldier)  See that person under the tree, on the right side?  (not the ones getting "smoked" on the left side of the tree) That's me 😀  I was the "Student First Sergeant" in charge of over 200 soldiers.  HOOOOAH!

 

 

 

 

 

 My roommates Kelsi OKEEEEFEEEEEEEE and Francis Raspotnik. 

 

 

 

 

 

 Okay… these photos make me laugh SOOOOOOO hard!  Kelsi OKEEEEEEFEEEEEE and I were BESSSST friends and LOVED to make eachother and everyone around us laugh.  Here are some photos of us on just one random Sunday evening when all of the drill sergeants were leaving us alone.  The two photos on the left are when we became "Private too cool and Private oh so cool"  She's thrown someones weave on top of her head and I'm well… ridiculous.  We went around from room to room to tell everyone to "stay cool."  OMG… I'm CRACKING up right now… Maybe you had to be there… HAHAHAHAAAA!!!!!  The photo on the top right… that was me as the unibomber.   And on the bottom right… we decided to start an Army singing group.  No… those aren't real M16s we're singing into… no need to be alarmed.  GOSH we had SO much FUN!  I'm convinced that the two of us could have made ANY situation OH SO COOOOOL! HAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!

 

 

 

 

 

DO NOT MESS WITH ME! 😉

 

 

 

That concludes my little walk down memory lane…
