Well, today of all days I found out that I have early on-set degenerative disc disease. I really need to get my sh*t together, health wise. It seems that my body is falling apart as soon as I decided to get out of the military. Quite interesting, I find it. Well, at least I won't be rushed or pressured to have some sore of timeline with losing weight or having a certain body-fat percentage. Now it's completely up to me and the approach that I want. A healthier approach at that. I have been in the stat of mind of not wanting to do anything. I feel terrible most days. Aches and pains all over. My sleep is terrible. I stay up for days on end and I have not consumed any coffee or sleeping pills. I am getting scared for my health, especially sleep wise. Every time I try to sleep, I'm all of a sudden woken automatically by a jerk or snoring or inhaling trying to breathe. I really need to take better care of myself. I don't want to go down the same path as my mother, God rest her soul. I just want better for myself. I eventually want to have a child. I am not on the right path to do that. I need to get healthier and stay that way. Every day, I have to choose better for myself, because no one will choose it for me. No one will push me or encourage me. I am going to start by waking up everyday at the same time. This is going to be tough after months of not having to be up early for only a few things. I know I can do it. I want this, I need this, and I will achieve this.
