Who needs a Sauna when you have Kuwait?

It won't be long before July will be gone and August will arrive.  I think I have fully acclimated to the heat.  It has been very hot but the last week it has not been a dry heat.  The humidity, which is usually very low this time of year in Kuwait has been over 40 to 50 percent on some days.  Which means that if you walk outdoors you will be getting wet.  But nonetheless, I have been very good at making sure I get my workouts in everyday and night.  Since I have come to Kuwait I have been losing weight and getting fitter.  I have struggled with my weight over the years.  In April 2011 I weighed my heaviest ever.  But since that time I have slowly but surely lost 47 pounds.  Just since I arrived on Camp Cupcake I have lost 29 pounds.  My goal is to lose another 20 to 30 pounds, meet height weight standards and finally at long last...get promoted.  My birthday is a month a way, and I hope to lose another 8 pounds before than.  Last December, my friend Eric told me I really need to get back in shape.  He was worried about me getting older and all the stuff that comes with age.  When I come home he wants to see some real improvement.  He has already developed a program for me when I come visit him and Wanda (his beautiful wife) in San Diego after the deployment.  Well I have a good start.  Now I got to keep it up.  Today I had pizza for lunch...ha ha.  So, I hope its hot and humid tonight when I go out and sweat to the oldies.  Back home, a lot of changes.  I am single again.  Deployments are tough on relationships.  But I hold no malice in my heart.  I wish T only the best.  I will miss Eddie though.  It will be weird going back to that big house but it such is life.  Sooooo....depending on who you believe, I am either going home in October or December.  I hope it is October but I won't get my hopes built up.  The effin army likes to piss on our hopes and dreams.  So I'll plan on December and be happy if its earlier.  Well, its almost time for me to work off that pizza so I better get moving along.  Stay strong peeps!
