Oh Me!

So... I guess this is my thing. I just wonder about life, then come back every April and leave a random blog. :-P

Well, things have changed. I'm working in my own city. I'm a bakery manager. I now have a BMI of 44.7, and I've become a big fan of pretty much anything lime flavored.

After my last blog life went on... I didn't die... Tears flowed, laughter abounded, and I became who I am now. I'm still getting periodic updates from life, the universe, and lessons from God. I'm really officially a baker now. I'm a bread baker, sweets baker, doughnut fryer, and pie maker. Still no "accredited training" yet; but that might happen someday. Really the sitch' is such that I now can actually live off of what I make instead of pulling from various credit cards, paying one guy here and the other guy there and just barely making ends meet; and really only then by holding both ends of the rope and hoping my body would work as a conductor to connect the ends.

But where to go from here? I can't afford school. I'm still in debt from the last 2 years and I NEED to do more with my life. It's like, I know I have so much more that I can offer but I have no idea how to apply my existence in order to aid my fellow human being.

Where is my usefulness?

So, I decided to channel what fundage I do have and join a gym for $32 monthly. What use am I to the world if I'm just fat, taking up space, and mooching off of the federal government to care for the DIE-A-BEET-US(diabetes),that I would one day inevitably get?

My plan is as follows. I'm going to lose 70lbs and then begin training to join the military. I'm leaning toward NAVY, but who knows if they will take me. MY goal is 130lbs lost by January 1st, 2013. I'm pretty sure I can do it. Every other time I've attempted to lose weight and be healthier I was only doing it to please the people around me. And you can call me crazy and think I've got some sort of body image issues in reverse(it's cool, you can.) but when I see my "before" pictures I'm not disgusted. I think I look pretty nice. I mean, I would do me, I look cute. :-P That's not creepy, right?

Now, I'm doing this to be better. Losing the weight is not something I'm being bullied into doing, I'm not down on myself... I'm meeting requirements to do a job, to be of service.

Anyway, I thought it would be pretty cool to chronicle and maybe I'll remember to blog more often. :-P

Here are my BEFORE's. Taken 04/06/2011, Weight at time of pictures - 290lbs.

Well, I hope to blog more in the future... and not just April 2012. :-P

Yours truly,
