I mentioned in a previous post that I would write about health. Currently I am about 25  pounds heavier then I’d like to be.  So currently I am spending $34.95 <I think> on a Weight watchers pass that allows me to use the tools and go to the meetings. I spent apx. $100 dollar a month on a gym membership that includes childcare and a permanentlocker and that is literally 6 minutes away from my house. I use the pass and it has help me lose 15 pounds. I am forever at the gym. I take 4 yoga classes a week and get in 3-5 cardio sessions in a week. I think the gym is a Zenspend in a lot of ways. I am not so sure about the WW pass. I will see next week when I return to going to the meetings. I was having a tough time balancing time commitments this summer and attending the actual meeting fell to the way side. I still use the on line tools though.. They are helpful. However, I liked the class I took last year at my gym for weight loss a little better, however it was 166.44 a month on top of my membership. I was closer to my goal when it ended but gained the weight back and then a few pounds. So it was not manageable. I really looking for something that works with my real life not a life that I can do 12 weeks at a time. Lord knows that if you could buy being at your optimal weight I would have. No questions. I am sure knowing me, I would not even have looked at that price tag. I have had surgery for weight loss. It has helped me keep off over 100 pounds for 7 years. I actually look at it as the tool that took me from morbidly obesity to just a normal weight loss struggle. At the time I was working in the travel industry, my insurance payed for all but co-pays of at the time $200.  I remember seeing the 28k price tag on the insurance claims that  came to my house. Since then I have had reconstructive plastic surgery, I chose to have my operation preformed in another country. I went to a consultation at what is considered one of the best medically facilities in our country and was quoted 45k. I left the country and had the same thing for 11k plus the benefit of substantiallymore care. Here they sent you home after surgery, there was in the hospitalfor 3 days recovering before I went back to the hotel. So I am not kidding when I say if I could just pay for it I would. I do eat health foods. I belong to a CSA that provides beautiful organic fruits and vegetables. I have a garden that I too grow great foods at. I just have the sweet tooth from hell. I have a coffee addiction that consums me.
