  •  Hmmmmm.  Not really much to talk about.  I haven’t had a soda in over two weeks.  Not because there isn’t any.  In the morning, I have a cup of coffee.  Then it’s water for the rest of the day, until I work out.  Then I have Endurox R4, and a protein shake afterward.


    I use cocoa butter on my skin, and I have a space heater near my bed.  I think the combination made me hungry in my sleep a few nights ago.


    I’m doing more and more time on the elliptical machine.  25-30 minutes every other day.  Today, I wondered what I was thinking about during those 30 minutes.  I still have no idea.  None at all.  I look at things.  The data from the machine.  My heart rate.  Someone else in the gym.  I don;t know.  But, I do know that I am awesome, and I’m starting to gain some more definition in my abs.  Don’t get me wrong, I have good abs.  It’s just that when I was younger, they wee a lot more defined.  I also realize that I was dehydrated a lot more then, too.  I didn’t drink water like I do now.  So you know, when you see people in magazines and bodybuilding competitions, they are normally dehydrated, because it makes them look more defined.


    We’ve been getting some interesting weather out here lately, which has produced some nice scenery.  For some reason, I took pictures, probably because someone always asks me about the mountains out here.  So, without further delay, here they are (taken over the course of 2 days)

  • WOW! Check out those clouds! Pretty.

    And drink a soda Pat… come on… you KNOW you want to! ;)

  • i think West Point has got me addicted to Soda since Yuk year, especially now that i have a fridge.  And that is a lot of open space.. how far are you guys from the closest city or settlement?

  • Mmmmmm… cocoa buttery Pat…*Homer Simpson drooling noises*

  • “As far as your last pic goes:”… what were you going to say? Seems like you didn’t finish!

  • Woohoo! Yay for abs!  Haha, YOUR abs are more defined when you’re dehydrated.  Mine are until I eat anything at all with sodium, then BAM… it’s bloatedness.  The joy of being a woman… Yeah, drinking water is better for me   Well… okay, I do use that detox tea sometimes because it acts as a diuretic, works pretty good. 

  • No offense, but your FOB/Camp looks about as rivetting as a corn field in Iowa. Mountains are pretty tall near you, would make for good climbing.

    I’ll try that stretch. I cna’t remember any of the stretches I did for warming up/cooling down in PT. Musta gotten a bad sector on my brain. Defragmentation will ensue.

  • you doin alright sir? how’s that major treating you?

  • doesn’t that, uh… kind of give away your position soldier?

  • Hey yeah I am finally back in the states.  Hope you’re not getting too bored out there.  You seem like the kind of guy who keeps busy.
