When does a body decide that it is ready? Ready for a change? Ready for devotion? Can something click inside of you, like a railroad switch, that permanently puts the train on a new course?
I hope so.
I want it to be so.
Because today is my switch.
I potentially have the opportunity to take a job in Iraq. I want it so bad. I want the money and I want the adventure. I've had to turn in tons of paperwork and take tests...and on February 14th I will have to go through physicals and blood work. I'm not worried about the paperwork, I'm not worried about the tests. But, I am worried about my weight, blood pressure and cholesterol. My husband is in the same boat, except he hasn't gained as much weight as I have.
Yesterday I weighed in at 249.
:(
And today I'm starting a fast. Mainly water, some juice. My husband is doing it too. He is shooting for 7 days, I'm shooting for 28 (4 weeks).
My goal?
To get below 200 pounds.
Today I weighed 247.3
Date Weight Difference 1/6/2011 249 0 1/7/2011 247.3 -1.7
If this amount of money doesn't inspire me to find the motivation to change...I don't know that anything ever will.
