The Good Life...

Today was pretty good.  I had wanted to wake up early and get to the gym this morning, but I got a late start. I did manage to eat a banana before I left. I did one mile on the eliptical and 30 minutes of belly dancing. I am really, really liking the belly dancing. It feels good to stretch all those muscles. My only slip up was a couple of cookies around 3 this afternoon. However I only had about 3 and then put the box away. It really is an improvment over the "old me" when I would have just eaten the box and then regretted it. And that is what this is all about, right? Making changes I can stick with. I feel like I am getting stronger with each good choice I make. And I've started to think about what is good for my body, and what benefits my health more then just what is low in points. My ultimate goal is to manage my PCOS naturally without any medications. I don't take any right now, but I could really manage it better if I tried.

Today was a good day all the way around too because we found out that we have a house in Gulfport, now! We've been on the waiting list for base housing there and this morning when I checked we were numer 21. Then around lunch a lady called and offered us a house! 25 days!!! I am really excited about moving and being closer to my parents. And the fact that DH is nondeployable is icing on the cake. DH isn't too thrilled, but I am happy to be settling down. 2 back to back deployments make life a little hectic, so calmign down seems like a dream. A new body image and healthly lifestyle go great with a new home and new city. I think that's what makes this time so important to me. If ever there was good timing, it's now.
