A question for you guys here in Iraq and Afghanistan—How are dealing with your diet while deployed over here.  I’d personally like to think I’m doing OK, but there still a lot of temptation to go for the bad stuff.  I probably should just stick to the salad bar, but I don’t like tomatoes and mushrooms, and some of the other stuff is drowned in mayonnaise or other stuff to touch.  They do have tuna, but I question the quality of the stuff the serve here..  So how are you handleling it?

Well, I’m not completely over my flu, but I’m back in the gym lifting again, Wednesday through Sunday.  With arms on Wed.’s and back ending the week on Sun.’s.  This I would consider the best ideal workout to work around the crowd and put my heaviest workout at a time when there would be the least amount of people in the gym.  I’m still coughing occasionally, but other than that, I’m back–and feels great!

After about 2 weeks of working out, I’ve already been handed a setback:  I’m sick with the flu.  I guess I got the same thing that’s been hitting some of the people I know on camp.  But hopefully it will pass soon and I’ll be back soon.
