Losing Weight = Tuition for my Daughter

My daughter goes to a private school in Plano. It is WAY out of range for us financially. I was very fortunate to be able to run a golf tournament last year that ended up paying all the tuition for this year. Since then....I have worried EVERY DAY about how we will pay for tuition next year, and the next year and the next year. I know that God says not to worry about tomorrow because tomorow has enough worries of it's own....but I have to tell you, I don't do that one very well. I try not to and then find myself doing it again.

So rewind to 2 Friday's ago. My boss and I are having a "discussion" about how I don't feel appreciated and about how I haven't had a raise in 6 years. ( yes, you read that right) Granted I do work less hours now than I used to , so I guess that kinda makes up for the raise. But sometimes I just feel like whinning. Anyhoo...so in the midst of this discussion. He says that he will make me a deal. He is always on me about my weight. So, he says that IF I will lose weight he will pay Emma's tuition. Not just next year, but through high school. HELLOOOOOO!!!! How can I NOT do this????? How could I possibly look my daughter in the eye someday and say "sorry Emma, you could have had this great Christian education , but Mommy decided to be fat instead." So, I MUST lose weight!!!!
To get things going I decided to join a "Boot Camp". I was doing water Aerobics this summer and the lady that taught that started the boot camp. It is for 6 weeks and so far so good. I have only had one bad day so far. Well, it was week one....but still. Wednesday was a killer. I did 2 hours in the pool that night. Only 2 of us showed up that night so we had her undivided attention. NOT GOOD!!! Yep, she nearly killed me. I even had to get up in the middle of the night to soak in a hot bath and take some Advil. You know it is bad when it hurts to lay in bed. I am going to stick with it though. I hope I finally do it this time. The stakes are high and I need to do this for Emma.
