In January I was 22 pounds from my dream goal weight when I made the transition from a fulltime night shift dispatcher to a fulltime dayshift dispatcher. I then realized I needed something else in life as I had spent the last 14 years in the Fire/EMS field and it was time for a change. So I made my career change in March, left the Sheriff's office where I had called home for almost 4 years and set out on a new adventure.
With the new job came new friends(and old ones too ;) )..... and new, exciting things..... like being 4 blocks from Starbucks, having an actual lunch break, delivery options, and lets not forget.... CITY DINER!!!!!!! Oh how I miss those breakfast specials. What also came with the new job? Figuring out a new routine.... which turned out to be a struggle for me.
Days turned into weeks which turned into months and the weight slowing kept coming on. The tiredness, stress, and ick came back with it too! When one of my coworkers asked me to start running with her and I did! And realized I loved it. But I also realized just how out of shape I had allowed myself to get. I ran a few races, and we started running on our lunch breaks instead of eating out. But I still didnt watch what I was eating or always told myself tomorrow. Well tomorrow would come and I push it off again.
Hello December......... It's funny how times flies...... it really is..... lol!!! I realized I was almost back to the weight I was 3 years ago and how unhappy and grumpy I was becoming. WOAH!!!! No thank you!!! So I brought back personal development and went back to one of my most favorite books "The Energy Bus!" I've started a new program and set some new goals for myself and I'm ready to take my journey back!
So here is to 2018!!!!!
