Yup, Adult Education really isn't my first priority this year. It is very important and I love my job and the students I work with. They are both very important to me and my reason for being who I am. However, I really started this blog because my intent is to get serious about losing a bunch o' weight this year. My big hang up is stress. But the brutal realization has finally hit me -- I will always have stress in my life. I need to get a handle on it or I will be dead in ten years. Diabetes, you know. Well it's not really bad yet, but it will get that way if I continue on as I am now. My doctor will surely kill me the next time I go in. I was supposed to go in February but I've been putting it off because I knew I haven't been following any diet -- diabetes conscious or otherwise. Today it hit me.
I will go to the doctor and do those blood tests this week or next. After I get back from Iowa, I'm putting in a visit to Jenny Craig -- okay, that sounds a lot like putting things off yet again. I'll make that Jenny appointment this week and see if they'll work with me for keeping the budget low at least until this fall. If they can't keep it around $50 a week, I might have to wait until September. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. In the meantime, I must take action now or face me fate. I will not whimp out like so many have bariatric surgery. That's just a bandaid. You really have to do the work to lose weight. You can't just take the bandaid treatment and continue on. It just doesn't work out over time. You learn absolutely nothing from that.
Now back to my horrible week. I have a ton of papers to grade, a decision to make on my job, my health to straighten out -- wonder what else will crop up by tomorrow morning!
