Blog Cherry Popped

So I am starting this blog during my deployment. I've been in Afghanistan for about a week. I personally think it's too early to tell just how this whole thing will be. However, I generally have a pretty positive outlook on life and am really looking forward to the adventure this year is going to be.

Initially I wanted to start this blog to help keep track of my fitness while I am here. I started hitting the gym pretty hard about a year ago. That's in addition to the Army's daily Physical Training (PT) program. I plan on working hard this year to get my body into top physical condition. I will take measurements and photo's later to post with dates so I can eventually form a time line of progress.

I can easily see this blog being more then that, though. For instance I may post about my exciting (to me) adventures and my numerous bitches, moans and gripes. It's my blog so I can do what I want with it. :)
