As I write this, I am not happy with where my weight loss is going. It is going in the wrong direction…I have gained weight. In late August, I had a accident at work where I had fallen and injured a rib. While I was able to take a couple of bike rides since then, I let it break my momentum and I quit going to the gym.
I also let myself get back into some bad eating habits. So I gravitated back to eating more fatty and fried foods. I admit that food is a great comfort to me. I like to eat. Also I am an emotional eater.
So as I write this today, I have gained 7 pounds. I am 218 and my lowest was 211 pounds. I would still like to be 200 pounds by December 22, 2012. That day my stepmother turns 95 years old. She has wanted me to be thinner and healthy. While I want to lose weight for myself, I would like to bless her with knowing that I am becoming healthier.
Since I have last updated this blog, I have also had a major life change! I have left my job of over 10 year at Carpet Liquidators to begin a new career at The Boeing Company. I am very excited about this transition! I am very greatful for my 10 years at Carpet Liquidators. I had different experiences while there. Some were pretty cool like taking long distance delivery trips to Miami, FL and Butte, MT. I also been in a couple of TV commercials for them, inlcuding a couple with the KIRO 7 TV (CBS) clown, JP Patches.
I am looking forward to the the benefits that come with working for Boeing. That includes great medical, dental and vision. Admittedly, the financial benefits are great too. But with all this change comes a new schedule and rhythm of doing things. So I am now working 2nd shift and get to bed late. So I am having a difficult time getting to bed shortly after getting home and getting up early enough and making time for the gym. It is also pretty easy to sit in front of the TV and eat.
So I am going to finish this up and say not that I HOPE to get back on track and eat right and exercise. I AM GOING TO EAT RIGHT, EXERCISE, AND LOSE WEIGHT!
I am going re-quote something I heard on the CBC show, “Village On A Diet” “Either you are going to GET IT, or you are going to go back to the way you have always have done things”. One way or another, I am going to “GET IT”!
