67.8

67.8

67.8

I have 67.8 lbs to lose before I hit what I consider to be my goal weight, which in actuality, is 13 lbs more than a BMI chart says I should be. 

It was time for something different.  Something with more structure.  Something with community that might actually help.  Something proven. 

Enter Weight Watchers. 
I know, I know.  Yet another magic method to try and fail at.  Maybe this time it will be different?  Mandy and I both signed up yesterday because they were running a special.  I am not one to believe in such things as divine intervention, but we happened to get an escrow return check the same day that we were not expecting, so the money literally fell into our laps.  Sale, extra money, all at the right moment.  We took a flying leap off of a VERY high cliff.  A cliff that will take us 3 months to land from.  That is how long our initial term is for. 

We decided to go to the Sunday morning meetings.  It is very early for us, but it is the only one I know that I will always be available to attend.  I am so glad we picked that time.  Everyone was a riot.  I like to say we got the heathens that do not attend church.  I feel like there will be a higher sense of accountability for me.

So this is where we stand.  I am going to school 5 days a week still, and it is getting harder.  I am stretching myself thin and my business is starting to suffer for it.  This is not the best time to start a new way of eating, but I can no longer afford to stay at this weight.  I had a great doctors appointment about 6 weeks ago.  My cholesterol is awesome.  The bad is low and the good is high.  Everything is within normal range.  Oh-- with the exception of my blood pressure and my risk of a cardiac event.  It was through the roof. 
At 31 years old I am at major risk for having a heart attack or stroke. 

I have 6 children.  I cannot afford to take that much time off from life.  They need me.  Everyone needs me.  I need me to be here still.  Dying would be a drag.

I cannot afford to fail.

Help me....
