Got great news today. I have been approved by my insurance company for surgery. I don't have a surgery date yet, but I'm hoping to by the end of the week next week. I'm guessing that my surgery will be sometime in March or April. I still haven't heard anything more about the job. I've been told that they are still interviewing. Hopefully they make a decision soon. If I don't get the job, I'm happy where I'm at and will keep working at that position. I also spoke to my brother and he plans to start work on my basement workout room next week. He is going to pull up my carpet and lay down resilent flooring--much easier to exercise on. I'm getting excited about having an exercise room in my home. I'm wanting to get a nintendo wii fit also. I've never used one, but I've heard they are so fun that you don't realize you are working out. That's my kind of workout--a fun one. Weight loss is still slow, but I'm hoping once I start working out then it will speed up again.

At the point I think that dieting is hopeless anymore, I end up losing weight. It almost feels like the Lord allows me to lose a little as soon as I lose hope just to show me there is hope. I'm also learning that weight loss is not easy and it's not meant to be easy. There is a lot to learn about ourselves in the journey. It seems we gain weight with no attention paid to our health or well being, but the weight loss journey is a gift of how to care for ourselves and pay attention to our bodies, minds and spirits. It's a journey of self awakening. It's easier for me to care for other people than to care for myself, but we have to care for ourselves if we want to care for others and be all we can be in life. This is a journey we ultimately do alone. We have support through each other on this site and friends and family, but ultimately, it is us who have to walk this journey and have the will power to do the right thing for our health. I have often wondered why the wrong thing has been such a desirable thing to do? Why can't the right things to do be what we want to do? Why can't veggies taste like candy and candy taste like veggies? I guess this journey just builds character, huh?
