HIT ME!
holy moley is the only way to decribe the way I feel right now. Today I was told that I am getting promoted below the zone (6 months early to the next rank Senior Airmen/E-4). I started to cry for real! You have no idea what it feels like to have most of your career working your butt off, staying ridiculously late hours, having to do things a high ranking person should have taken over while your airmen friends are out drinking, partying, sleeping, resting…whatever fun thing it is you’re not doing because you’re AT FREAKEN WORK!!! I hate being treated like $hit because I’m just am airmen in a sea of officers. It’s like not only do you have to wipe their ass all day long but they get offended if you don’t ask to ass it aswell (i’m really bad at the analogies but bare with me it’s 5 minutes til midnight). So, it’s nice to know that someone was watching over you making sure you get recongized for your work. Then again, i like working. I would rather have an extremely busy day than a lazy bum day, any day of the week (okay not Sunday because that’s for the man upstairs).
So anyway, I had TWO freaken servings of my cake, a slice of pizza, and some of my nephews candy. I FEEL LIKE SCHIESSE (German word) for real! God honest truth, all I kept thinking about was Chickentuna shaken her head with her arms crossed saying "What the F*%& did I tell you about eating that $hit?". lol… God I’m tired but I’m hyped up with all this sugar. Damn it. How the hell do I expect to lose weight? I lie sooooo much about how I eat too. I’m always telling people I eat 6 small meals a day…which i do but I snack like crazy in between. a handful of nuts here, a sugar free fudgcycle there (I knew I should have bought those on sale). Then I wonder why the scale gives me the middle finger after week after week…
Which reminds me, there was this Garfield comic strip i saw a few years ago that made me laugh lard! garfield steps on the scale and its says "You’re as light as a feather!" and as he’s leaving the room with a smile of accomplishment on his face, the scale adds "If a feather weighed a ton, you fat pig!"….it’s the reason I always sprint out of the bathroom after I weigh myself! LMAO lol. I’m not obsessed with my weight, I actually haven’t weighed myself in a month because I gain muscle fast than I lose weight. I go by the way my clothes feel and they feel great!
Okay, I’m going to stop rambling. I’m supposed to start this goal thing on Monday but I think I’m going to start tomorrow because today has already ended in my book and if I wait til Monday, my mind registers that to mean "Cool! That means you can binge all weekend! and I definately can’t afford that.
Morale of the story, only eat like a pig if you are getting promoted on a very rare circumstance and run out of the bathroom if your scale starts talking to you (when it’s not supposed to).
Good night kids!

Congrads on the BTZ selection; it is quite an accomplishment. Good luck with your goals and have a great weekend.

Congrads on getting BTZ and don’t beat yourself up to bad over the cake

CONGRATS! That is not an easy thing to do at all. I was in the USAF from 94-98 and left as an E4. Only know one other person to get promoted early. You shouldnt worry about the cake and use fee windows so to speak to eat what you REALLY love once or twice a week if doing weights!
Again, congrats!

Hi Stephanie,
Congratulations on your promotion, great to see you in good form and being rewarded for your efforts at work.
Your cake and pizza was a natural reaction to your good news where you rewarded yourself with the things you love to celebrate your promotion, it’s very important to reward yourself.
Hope training is going well and I’m sure you worked off the pizza and cake the following day.
Take Care,
Tom
