  • I got lucky passing my PT test last month. I usually always max out the push-ups but for a 47 year old, that is only 44. I barely make the minimum on the sit-ups and my belly was measured at 39 inches (until I let all the air out!) so I know what my weakness is. My run was 20 seconds better than last year, but still…

  • I just moved from NYANG to SCANG. I passed my PT test last month but BARELY. Abdominal circumfrence is at 39 inches and that needs to change. I am 47 years old, but I am tired of using my age as an excuse. I need three more years for my 20 year letter. I don't want to be embarrassed how my uniform looks anymore.…

  • I still can't believe I enlisted in the Air Force, and that was 21 years ago! I already was working as a full-time paramedic at age 22 but felt like I was locking myself in a career before I had the chance to do something important. I never went away to college.

  • In my opinion, many of us put too much pressure on ourselves to produce "successful results." Some of us (And you all know who you are *wink*) step on the scale EVERY day to see how they are doing. If they go up a pound they get discouraged. If they go down a pound, they have cheesecake. I think you should be aware of the…
    in Gained 10 pounds! :-( Feeling Discouraged Comment by rampantpiper June 2012
  • I like the idea that you are looking forward to "cheating" but are still planning on being careful. It is important not to give yourself a card blanche to pig out because you think you deserve it. You are working too have to jeopardize your wellness plan for a day of food debauchery. Haha Looking forward to slightly…
