ok midwestmom what is this bc diet lol

You can do any diet you want. :) We did HCG, but I've seen some go on weight watchers, etc., while their loved one was at BC. We're also trying to get more cardio and need to add some weight training. I started Zumba right before my son left and we recently have added trying to run two nights a week. Not sure how long that is going to last if the weather says hot. We're in the 90s today with high humidity. That sucks the energy right out of you.

I've got you updated on the calendar. Isn't it amazing how much better you feel just getting a form letter with only a few lines written on the bottom. It is just neat getting some form of contact to them again! Enjoy the ride!

Just an update on my SR. We are one week from PIR and, if possible, it is more stressful now at times than those first weeks! They have to pass their final PFA's (passing all the other ones earlier doesn't really mean anything except it keeps them out of a FIT program, and on task to graduate on time). So, my SR is doing well, but you still stress that they'll mess up an ankle or break something and then not pass the final one! Ugh. Oh, and now they think his BS will be held Wednesday night before PIR so we will be in Chicago on Thursday before we get the "I'm a Sailor" call. Luckily, I'm not one that is going to stress out about BS...I'm pretty sure everyone that passes their PFA's also passes BS. Besides the first and final calls, we received 3 additional calls starting at week 3, day 2...one of which was earned and the others scheduled. Hopefully all of you will get at least 3 calls after their "I'm here" call. Letter day is the best day of the week...even when they are down or cranky. I LOVE letter day! :) Hope all of you are hearing from your SRs or will soon!
