Motivation for Regular Exercise

Six Tips for Work-Out Motivation 

48 days = 6 weeks! 

1. How you feel after a workout. I always feel great after a good workout. It’s a high. And I let that motivate me the next time: “You know how good you’re going to feel, Leo!”
2. Time for you. While many people make time to take care of others (kids, spouse, other family, co-workers, boss), they don’t often make time to take care of themselves. Instead, make your “you” time a priority, and don’t miss that exercise appointment.
3. Calories burned. If you count calories (and it’s really one of the most effective ways to lose weight), you know that the more you exercise, the more calories you burn — and the bigger your calorie deficit.
4. Having fun. Exercise should be fun. If it isn’t, try a different kind of activity that you enjoy. As long as you’re moving, it’s good for you.
5. How you’re going to look. Imagine a slimmer, fitter you. Now let that visualization drive you.
6. Blogs. I enjoy reading blogs about people who are into running, or losing weight. It can show the ups and downs they go through, and you can learn from their experiences.

"Life is a Journey, Not a Destination"

"To be without desires, is to be content.
If you do not wish to have something,
you are content with what you have.

And it always seems to me that,
the more we don't desire something,
the greater the chance of getting it,
and all the more exciting.

To be without desire,
is to be simple.
If life is simple,
then life is not complicated". 

 It's all about the journey. The lessons learned. The friends met and kept. The ride... Not the stop-overs.... With this said our NEXT journey is approaching quickly. I never thought I would say that this year has been a wonderful experience. We have grown in our marriage, I have made life-long friends, and even finished what seemed like years to come, my degree. All of these things I am proud, and will keep working on. 

In recent news, Christian passed his NAV checkride, for all of you who don't know this is the BIGGIE! This ride alone stands in front of you and your so called " flying career" or for wives our bragging rights. ;-) Christian got an E which is the highest you can get, and as I am told he got 17 upgrades. Not to sure what all that means, but I am assuming it was good when he didn't come home and directly head for the fridge, for a beer. I am so proud of him, don't get me wrong, but nervous for what it holds for our future. Usually if you do well and perform at the top of your class, you have a chance of getting FAIPED, which is a first assignment instructor pilot. Not that it's a bad thing, just the location is the pits. Since we would continue to live in ENID. So I pray, like many others, that we move onto bigger and better bases and places! So with that said I am proud, but nervous too stay and have my friends get to go to cool places.. It is always a possibility with everyone though ,that their fate could wind up here. ( Christian hasn't been told by any, but the boys always joke with one another). TERRIFIES ME. Since I have a love hate relationship with tornadoes, and we are sitting in the middle of NOWHERE, OKlahoma.... So just pray everyone, that we get outta here, and everyone gets their assignment they want! 

Starbucks has been great so far, loving the people I work with. Everyday I laugh, and am thankful that I was given this opportunity. 

This weekend we are headed to OKC for a HaLlOwEeN partay, should be fun!! Love, love, love dressing up!!!

Lastly, thanksgiving is quickly approaching and we are going to COLORADO to eat turkey and hang with the family. YAY!!!  My mommy is coming too :-) 

NOVEMBER 30th = 30 min of the rest of our lives... well not really, but four years at least!!! ;-)

So it has been a while since my last post. I must apologize, but things have been quite busy in the Drescher household.

UPDATE: I now work at Starbucks, and love every minute of it ;-)
Christian is really enjoying T-1's and gets to eat good food, LIKE ALL THE TIME! Seriously not fair. ( As I sit at home eating macaroni and cheese, and hot dogs. But, I cant complain.. I wouldn't trade this life for the world.. I am still in school, seems like it will never end, But the finish line is almost there. I just need to hang on for a few more months.. Please give me sanity in order to achieve this!!! One of my best friends, and Christian's friend find out where there journey is taking him next.. ( and her) but its a long story this coming Friday Oct. 12th.. So excited to actually go to an Assignment night where I am really close to someone! On the other hand, it is starting to make me slightly nervous, because that means our's is right around the corner! It's a bit thrilling to know what your doing for the next 4 years, but with my anxiety and hyperness, I know this can only bring Emotion out of me! So I am really debating on going, CALL ME CRAZY, but honestly, I don't know if I can handle all that. Knowing that people are looking at your reaction, and trying to decipher   if you are happy or not...and let me tell you I am a very emotional person; In good or bad situations, So i know I will cry, scream, fist pump. Or what have you, in the auditorium. EEEEK!
My fur babies are doing great, crazy crazy cats! They are honestly the sweetest, most babied children ever.. Scary to see what will happen when we have kids!!
Did I tell you how much I enjoy Starbucks, and getting free coffee now will be the death of me! Like for real!!

This semester is tough, I flippin hate Biology with a passion! I feel so incompetent in that class. But I know I have to study to get the grade I want. Which is really tough to do, since I have to be a wife, friend, and colleague.
