Mapping the course

Sitting in the drivers seat, looking at a map. I know where I want to go. I know when I want to go. Seeing all the different paths to take to get there holds me in place. It's not that I don't know the fastest, most direct route. I do. It's just that there are other people in the car with me and I need to know how to get where I want to go with everyone that I want to take.

This is my life.

I have been contemplating all the changes lately, and even more changes about to start. I become a student again on Monday. With that comes a new schedule. So I figured if I was going to get that part of my life together, why wait on getting healthier and loosing this extra weight too. Nothing and no one is stopping me but me. And fear.

So I mapped out a plan. Set the date. Decided I was going to start on Tuesday at 10p. Oh, I know 10p sounds like a crazy time to start a diet, but not when you work nights. Tuesdays are the only day that I always work so Tuesday evening was the plan. I left work tired Tuesday morning, took an algebra test (and passed), and went to bed, only to wake up 2 hours later sick. Really sick. But I figured what a better way to start my plan. Slept all day but found myself stumbling out of bed about midnight to get a starting weight.

So now I'm on another path. Finding my way to healthy, body, mind, and spirit.

What a journey!
