Over the next few days I hope to solidify and widen the gap between me and that hated 300 lb. mark, God willing. There may be a bit of a rollercoaster ride in my future because there always seems to be one at some point. I am preparing for it to happen right now, but if it waits another ten pounds, that'd suit my purposes so that's what I'm hoping for. Neither circumstance changes what I have to do.
Today was a different kind of rollercoaster ride known as "Life with Kids." If I didn't have a work assignment to write today, with related doctor interview to conduct, it'd be business as usual. Unfortunately, usual business around here is a challenge of not only organization and improved execution, but of excision as well. In other words, we have too much going on so we have to learn to work smarter, prioritize, and dump whatever we can. Simplify, man! I expect to have a more managable life schedule in the future because I'm throwing my work goal of breaking the six-figure mark out the window. If it happens, it happens, and I'm not throwing work itself out, I'm just making sure the hurrying and scurrying is kept to a minimum. I strongly believe that improvements in my quality of life will stimulate growth in every facet of my existence: spiritual, sobriety, family, health & fitness, and work. In that order.
I may reach my work goal this year. We'll get out of debt without starving, that's for sure. So what's this got to do with anything?
I feel like I'm just learning to live. I've been struggling with everything and making progress for about ten years now, but that's all been learning to learn at a crawl. Now, here I am, embracing change in every phase of life. It's overwhelming. It's a revolution. There's no going back because not only do I like what I'm getting on all fronts, I'm learning how to deal with it. In the past I either did it wrong or couldn't handle it. Now I bring every tool to bear. This stuff right here is one part of that larger picture, but it is such an essential piece. Nothing has dogged me as long as weight and fitness issues have.
