My Life Anew

That is why I am blogging. I want to stay on track and I need people's help to keep me on track. I have never been so scared. I'm now 38 years old. It takes time, that I don't have, to complete the things that I want to do. I have to be sure because I do not want to be 60 and starting over. I have to figure out where do I start. So first thing is first...My appearance. Over 24 months ago I weighed 208 pounds! Now I'm 5'4 and weighing 208 pounds will hurt your body. I felt it in my knees. All that weight. In the past 16 months I was able to get my weight down to 170lb. I am currently between 155-160lb. That is still a lot of weight. I have lost 53lb and kept it off! That's a first grader! I lost one whole kid! I want to get to 135lb by the end of this year. It is really hard to do.

The second thing that I need to do is educate myself. I was going to become a
Nurse Anesthetist. I barley made it to an LPN and then gave up my career to be a mom. I have no regrets in doing that. I would do it all over again but with a few tweaks. My kids are smart, well behaved, well mannered kids. I do not think they would have turned out that way if someone else raised them. I am in their lives 24/7. They know if they need me I will be there for them. They also know that they are loved by two dedicated parents. But they don't need me as much anymore. I don't want to be one of those mom's that when the kids go off to college, they are lost. So I'm going back to college. I want to be a Radiologist with a continuation into Nuclear Medicine. Unfortunately, I miss the dead line for this fall. So I have 1 year to get as many per-requisites out of the way. Remember nothing worth while is ever easy. I just have to kick this door down too.
