Bryan left for basic training yesterday. It was an emotional day all the way around, but we will all be fine. He kept sending Ashley texts saying he couldn't do it and stuff like that, but she was encouraging and I think he felt better by the time he got there. What bothered me was him saying he couldn't do it. He has always been a positive attitude person. However, Ashley said he said the same stuff to her when he left for college, and we see how that turned out. While I never wanted any of my kids to go into military service, I am very proud of him. This is definitely a step into where he wants to be.
I'm only down 0.6 this week, but I can't complain. I had the stress of Bryan leaving, 2 huge restaurant meals, alcohol, and no exercise at all. That's really pretty good with all things considered.
I love my class this quarter. Tonight is the second night if we don't get canceled for weather. I want to go return my books today, but it's very icy. If I'm correct, today is the last day for returns. I may call before I go just to make sure. I could use that $97.00 for something else.
I now have a new goal. I want to be down 20 pounds by Bryan's graduation from basic training. I just can't quit.
