Catch up time

Well, lets start this thing up again. So much has happened since last time I actually wrote on here. My girls are another year older, I've joined a weight loss program thats actually helping this time, and... oh yeah... I've moved back to WA state! I'll begin with the last one.
The factory in WI, where I was working third shift, slowed down severely last year. Nearly all of the third shift staff, and much of the 2nd shift staff was laid off, with the down time so long most have found other jobs. Since the factory was in such a bind, they really didn't need 3 AI's on a full time basis. I'd like to say with fore-thought, but I'd been planning it since I joined the company, I started training for transfer into the nuclear side of the business. There weren't really an job openings on that side either; however, I had to take a bit of a leap of faith at the time. As it so happened, as I was finishing up my training, a job opening came open; one that most interested before I started. The only nuclear power plant in WA state was in fairly desperate need of a full time ANII, ever since the last one quit. Long story short, I ended up taking the job. I was unable to sell the WI house, but through friends, found renters, and that saved us from foreclosure. Its still a fairly scary risk for us, and both Becca and I feel like we're living in a house of cards. Any small thing could take us right back to the brink. Its frustrating to say the least.
But that's not what this blog is all about. I'm looking at doing another triathlon, or even series of triathlons next year, and at the weight I was 2 months ago, it wasn't going to happen. I reached a peak of 274 lbs! That's crazy! Well since November 17th both Becca and I have been in the Thin & Healthy program at the local gym, and so far I'm down 30 lbs from that point. I've started rock-climbing again, running, spin classes, and even swimming when I get the chance. I seem to be on my way, but have a ways to go yet.
I'll keep in touch
