2 months to go

Since AT, and since the last time I have written anything on here, not much has changed. Life continues as usual with March/April fast approaching.

I am still struggling a bit with PT and finding the balance between strength and weight management. I am having problems with my shins, but lately, since my proteing intake has gone up, they don't seem to be bothering me all that much. I can crank out 5+ miles and not think anything of it. Odd. Perhaps it is more of a mental thing than anything else. Tony Robbins wrote that the key to achieving a goal is "deciding to get it done." I am officially out of time and the pressure is on. It is way past time to be where I want/need/think I should be.

I am trying to see myself as a WOCS graduate and an Army Pilot hoping, and having some faith, that my body will fall in line and get with the program. I am on a low-cal, high protein, and low carb diet. Basically, that translates into a lot of running while eating and drinking Whey protein shakes. Joyous. Just ****ing joyous.

I have amassed a huge amount of clothing and gear that will need to get marked over AT in March if I am to have any chance of being sane while waiting at HHC, 1st WOC, to class up. My goal is to have as much done as possible prior to showing up so that I can what time I have to relax, think about what I need to get done, get familiar with the operating procedures, and get to work. If there is one thing in life that I hate, it is being rushed because I forgot to do something or could have planned better.

So, for now, we are trying to get rid of everything that we can in order to make the move a little easier on us. There is so much to do that I am not quite sure where to begin. My plan is to have a plan.....
