Thank you for that information, Cassidy.
A for the type of job I would like in the Navy, I was thinking along the lines of finance. But, I'm open for other possibilities. My step-father was an ET1 Nuke. He practically lived 80% of his career on a submarine in the middle of an ocean. My sister-in-law was a crypto-technician. She had one of the highest security clearances because of her type of work. Me, I have a Bachelors of Science in Business Management with a concentration in Accounting. I would like to put my degree to some good use. My family insist that I try to earn a commission in the Navy rather than enlist. Regardless of what happens, I will join. If I can ever make weight.
My workouts are limited to mostly work related at the moment. But I have exercise equipment such as an elliptical, treadmill, pilates machine, some kettle balls, stability balls, a couple weights, and other random things. My problem is wanting to work out when I've been working hard all day at work. I feel exhausted. Today I ride my bike, went for about 2 hours and did 8 miles.
My eating isn't that great. I know what I need to eat, but I really enjoy snacking. And my weakness is a can of peanuts. My diary is viewable if you want to check it out. I know that I need to eat more protein, less fat/carbs/sugar, and more vegetables. I love them, but it's much easier to eat fruit when you are on the go. And that is where I end up eating too much sugar.
Yes, I have talked to a recruiter. I spoke with one with my sister because she wants to enlist with me. The recruiter looked arty me as though I were a lost cause and didn't bother giving me much information. I tried to talk to another recruiter and they said that they won't make an appointment to see me until I have met the physical requirements. :-( I don't want to give up...I only need to lose 60lbs. It sounds like a lot, but in actuality it isn't. I could lose it within the next 6 months if that was all I focused on and if I didn't have a job that I needed to pay bills. Eh.
Anyways, thank you so much, and I better put the pedal to the metal if I'm going to get someone out there to take me seriously.

Thank you. I know that if I want this, I really need to “suck it up” and just do what needs to be done. :-) I have really changed what I've been eating, and I've been making sure I get some sort of exercise done throughout the day. I just need to kick it up a notch soon, and continue to do so. It does make it harder knowing that my age and weight is a disadvantage, and I'm hoping that I can do what you said; prove them wrong.
