Wow… I got on the scale this morning. I won’t be winning any New Vision contest this week. Woof, I blew up to 292 lbs.
Gee how did that happen? Actually I know how that happened. I ate too much and didn’t get enough exercise. So what am I going to do about it?
First off I like myself. I am a beautiful woman. My husband Loves me. Tells me everyday how beautiful I am. I don’t need to be skinny to be beautiful. Wow what a brain twister that has been. He thinks my belly is wonderful. Tee Hee.
What a change in perspective, I used to run distance and weigh between 135 and 145 pounds. Here’s the kicker I thought I was both: fat and ugly. When I see pictures of myself at a that stage in my life I see a beautiful young woman now. It’s really sad how much we torture ourselves thinking we are less than others or worthless.
Each of us is a valuable creation. Each of us has our own beauty and worth. Each day is a gift. Enjoy the beauty around you and within you.
In truth, I don’t like carrying around this much weight. I have no desire to be skinny but It would be much easier to get around without carrying the equivalent of three, fifty pound bags of dog food on my body.
Here’s another truth for you. It can be quite painful carrying around that much weight. So what do I do? Some crazy diet is not going to happen. Does not work. So what does? How do I remove excess fat in a healthy manner?
Frankly I think the biggest part of doing anything is mind set. I’m not really sure where my mind is on this. I would like to be able to complete a marathon. Just to be able to physically and mentally do it. That is the whole point for me.
It would be great to be able to walk with a spring in my step rather than it being such a labor to walk. That would be great.
Frankly I look fine just the way I am. And I’ll look fine with 100 pounds less on my body.
I’d really like to do that indoor skydiving thing and I need to be under 200 pounds to do that.
I was thinking lose enough weight so my thighs don’t touch, but frankly the way I’m built I would have to be a stick figure for that to happen. At least that’s the way it seems to me. I remember my thighs rubbing at 135 lbs. Frankly there is no way other than uncontrollable illness that I’m going down under that weight. So forget the thigh thing. Phooey on it.
I would look fine with 150 pounds less on my body. I look fine now. So it’s not about Oh I’ll be beautiful when: I am already beautiful. In all my curvaceous glory.
My abundance of fluff is causing some undue wear and tear on my knees. This is true. Ironically so will training for a marathon. Or walking distance at all. I learned that every pound we carry puts four pounds of pressure on our knees. Wow, we have some phenomenal bone structure to be able to carry that weight. Woof baby.
So for every excess pound of fat I get rid of I will be removing four pounds of weight off my knees and feet. That would be a good thing.
I want to lose fat not muscle mass. So how do I do that? Not by starving myself that’s for sure. That destroys your metabolism and your body feeds more on your active muscle tissue than on fat.
Journal-write down what I eat.
Oxycise would be good. All over toning and help with my breathing as well.
Red Exerciser was whittling off my waist. So that would be good.
Elliptical would be good as well.
This is a gradual healthy change in body composition I’m looking for. I’ve made quite a bit of positive change over the past 2 years as it is. Recovering from west nile virus and a monster surgery.
As I continue to build and tone my muscle mass. I should lose inches. And eventually pounds of fat. I’m going to go more by measurements overall than weight loss for change in body composition.
On the weight loss side of it a half pound to a pound a week will be very good. I’m not looking to yo-yo. I’m looking for a life style change. Not a starve lose bounce cycle. Been there done that over and over. I’m simply not interested any more.
I am a big beautiful woman already. Now I want to physically feel better.
Life is a journey…enjoy the trip…
