Okay so if you haven't heard, or caught on... my husband is currently deployed to Afghanistan. We are only a couple months into the deployment and I have already went a little "Care Package Crazy." Every single time I step into Target or Walmart my brain starts thinking of creative care package ideas I can send my husband. Of course, the first few packages I sent him were pretty generic: personal hygene, snacks, DVDs... an Xbox (eye roll). But anyways, you get the picture. So recently I have taken on a new healthy lifestyle and a love for fitness (you can read more about that here) and sometimes I tend to brag about it to my husband, in a joking manner because we always have had a little friendly competition about who looks better. Is that weird? Anyways... my husband has been having a little difficulty finding motivation to go to the gym and he always says to me "Can you please share with me some of your motivation?" ...
Well yes, yes I can...
Here I share with you "Motivation in a Box." For any of you wives or family members who have run out of care package idea... feel free to use this as a fun idea, and something out of the norm.

So here is the box. Adorned with pictures of a Carnival cruise ship, and Mexican Islands (We are going on our first cruise/belated honeymoon in the fall... that's pretty good motivation, right?)
Also a lovely picture of the affects that drinking pop has on your body... its not pretty people, so cut out the pop.

Here are the contents, and a lovely note to my husband explaining each and every item...
- Mens Health Magazine
- 74.4 oz water bottle -- $3 at Walmart and holds exactly the amount of water you should be drinking daily
- Muscle Milk
- Chromium Picolinate-- an essential nutrient that helps metabolize carbohydrates and lipids. Plays a key role in weight loss and cardiovascular health.
- Mens Pro Edge One a Day -- because everyone needs to take a daily vitamin
- Deodorant-- the note says "Incase you get stinky from all the working out you'll be doing (:"
- Stridex Acne Control Pads
- Cliff Bars-- a healthy option over a candy bar
- Sheets Energy Strips-- if you need an extra boost of energy, use this NOT an energy drink
- Mio drink mix-- perfect to add some flavor to your daily 74.4 oz of water
- Propel Zero drink mix
This box was created totally out of fun, and as a way to send something different than the typical toiletries.
I hope this gives you all some motivation to get creative with your care packages!
