Fire academy starts in a little over two weeks. There is a definite excitement to going back into a career where i ran into burning buildings instead of away from them. The down side however, is I have gained almost 30 pounds this last year, almost exactly a year really. Grief eating, if anyone says isn't true, is in fact something people do to cope. Dealing with death, was never an issue while I was in the service, or a fire fighter, but when it happens to someone close, a sibling, it has a way of catching up with you. So, now the task becomes, losing the majority of this extra poundage, before the start of the academy... so do i skimp out on christmas goods, or work out extra hard in anticipation for all the extra carbs?. decisions decisions...



P.S.
If the world ends tomorrow, disregard this posting..
