235--Current weight, after ballooning up to 241 from 237, and then back down.
Wow. 49 lbs??? good for you!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lot of numbers! I liked #4.... :)
Holy crap! You have lost a lot of weight, a major accomplishment, especially during nursing school. You are an inspiration for sure. Enjoy the Grand Canyon and your cruise!
ReplyDeleteYou lucky son of a gun to be able to go on that cruise. Just enjoy the warmth of the sun, soft kiss of a breeze, gentle sway of the ship, and ice cold cocktail in your hand!
ReplyDeleteIs this USAF payment contingent on you losing this weight? Yikes! Well if anyone can do it, you can! You are disciplined enough to make it happen, look how far you've come! Toot, toot your horn.

CC: Thank you! It is a lot of numbers. And #4 wasn't as bad as I made it sound. They are all great kids.
ReplyDeleteRNR: I've actually lost the weight since September, :)
Zazzy: The USAF maximum weight for my height is 208 lbs. I will need to be at or below that to enlist. The program is pretty cool, I bring them an acceptance letter to any CRNA school, I enlist at that point, but my "job" is to go to school. They will pay for school--tuition, books, and fees. They pay me a salary + benefits. Then when I graduate, I owe them 3 years of active duty. The salary after graduation is less than what I'd make in the civilian world, but it's still well over $100k a year.
I've got another number for you.
ReplyDeleteApril 10th....10k run. Get on it.
;)
Ok D, you're on. If I can't find one down here, I'm so race-crashing your event!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this post! It's something about my Type-A personality, but I like to break things down like that. So exact and factual and I just love the wonderfulness of it. And you now know I'm a total freak! =]
ReplyDeleteI didn't no you were going the USAF route.. good luck on everything!
ReplyDeleteNikk: If that makes you a freak, then save me seat next to you. I'm right there with you, Haha!
ReplyDeleteChristine: It is highly likely. Too good of a deal to pass up.
