Reserve a place for me...

I did it! I made the goal and then some. I lost 45.8 lbs in time for the reunion(with 3 days to spare!) I was worried that I would not make it, and may even have put on a pound or two as I had cheated and had some snacks the last couple days. I think now that I have lost the weight, and now that I am back to work I am moving a lot more and burning more calories than I realize. I know I feel better during the day, and I am walking a lot more. I climb the 3 flights of stairs to my apartment with ease and my heart rate and BP have been in the excellent zone for the past while.
I have also decided I think I will go back and join the military reserves while I am in Regina. I have been out for about 10 years, and I have never really been part time. I think joining now will actually be fun, like being paid for a hobby. Also with the recent lifestyle change and weight loss, it would be good for me to be doing that and help stay in shape.
It will also allow me to meet new people here and since this project will be around 2-3 years, it would be a great hobby! And who knows, when I am done I can always work full time with them if I have no job to go to right away. I wonder if they will give me back my sergeants or demote me. I was actually even thinking that I may want to commission as an officer. That would be fun.
Anyways the job here is going really slow and getting things done is like pushing a rope! A couple more people have started and experienced the same level of frustration I did the first. Hopefully we will be able to come up with a package to send people before they arrive on site. I am also hoping to hire another warehouse supervisor soon to help get the lay down plans together.
It is 3 days before I head to Ottawa; I am so excited to be going on the reunion. Some people I haven’t seen in 15 years. The reunion is for a bunch of us that were with 1 Service Battalion in Calgary in the early 1980’s. Most of the guys are still in and there will be a handful that are civies like myself. All in all though, it will be a lot of fun. I am hoping to bring my camera and video camera so I can make a reunion DVD for everyone. I will have to make sure I get plenty of photos.
Work time, later doods and doodetes!
