Sprained ankle..

I sprained my ankle last night. Of all the ways I could have done it, it happened while getting out of the car. Yes, you heard me right. Simply performing an act that I do many times per day, I sprained my ankle. It certainly seems a tad bit ironic that this would happen after making such a big decision to get the Gastric Bypass surgery. I have to wonder at least a little bit if it isn't a bit of a sign, or a motivator of sorts.

I've always been a procrastinator. It is just something that is inherently part of my personality. I've tried to change that, but usually without much success at times. Now granted, I do complete tasks eventually, but it is usually at the last minute, or only when it has come down to a make it or break it situation.

I'd like to think that with my decision to get the gastric bypass surgery, I am being fairly proactive, after all, aside from the weight itself, my health is actually pretty decent. At my last physical I was told that my blood sugar, cholesterol, thyroid and blood pressure are all normal. I seriously doubt those things will stay that way if I don't lose weight very soon. I think spraining my ankle is just one more sign that enough is enough, and it is time to make changes and start living my life differently.

I'm planning to make the appointment for the initial class for the Gastric Bypass tomorrow morning after work. (I work overnights, so after work=8:00am)
