Big changes in the works...
Jan 21, 2009
Well everyone...I have decided since I'm making so many changes in my life right now...might as well go all the way with it. I'm going back to school to become an Esthetician. This is something I've been thinking about doing for years...now I finally have the chance. Yesterday I went and applied at the school, took the test, and signed my contract. I start March 17.I'm nervous...I'm 41 years old and beginning a new profession. But I look at it this way. They say the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. What I'm doing isn't working. I can't support my family on what I'm making now. I need to try something else. I can always come back to this type of job if it doesn't work. This opportunity will only come once.
I qualified for Pell Grants...so 75% of the tuition is covered for me. There are no excuses now.
My friend Christie wrote in a response to my last blog that when stupid people make short term decisions that impact your life, God is making long term decisions that will benefit us. I smiled when I read that because I really think this job ending might be the best thing that ever happened to me.
Other than that...my weight loss is still moving along. I've lost almost 30 pounds so far at 2 months out...I'm already 1/2 way there. When I start to feel bad because I've only lost 30 pounds I remind myself that I have never lost 30 pounds in 2 months before. It's coming off slowly but surely.
I'm already amazed at how my shortness of breath has resolved! Last night I walked for 30 minutes on the treadmill...at a very brisk pace...and was amazed that I wasn't short of breath at all!!! Two months ago I wouldn't have been able to handle that for even 10 minutes. This surgery is wonderful!!!
