A little blog about a lot of weight loss and awesomeness
I’ve spent a good amount of time at work today trying to avoid doing work by reading blogs! I heart tumblr. Has anyone heard of the healthy living summit? It sounds like so much fun but alas- I am worried that I am not healthy/thin enough to attend. It seems as though (from the pics of last year’s summit) that everyone is super fit. I want to be super fit too. Would you go to a “healthy living” summit with lots of extra pounds to lose?
Hi y’all!
My health insurance requires you to have “healthy numbers” for your annual physical in order not to pay out the ass. If not you must participate in health coaching. I was actually looking forward to free health coaching services, because I know my weight puts my BMI in the morbidly obese range (omg it’s hard to type that). Alas, I do not qualify for coaching because all my other numbers (cholesterol, etc) are healthy. WTF?
The truth is, I have been waiting for some shocking number/incident to force myself to get into shape, but I need to be the one to change my life. Any advise on how to make that ultimate commitment to health?
Officially moving on Saturday to a actual city, can’t wait!
Finally!
I took my current job 7 months ago in a very small town because it was my dream job. But being away from my new husband and with no one to hang out with has helped me become the laziest I’ve ever been! I just got the news that I am transferring and I couldn’t be happier! Now I can walk/bike around a beautiful city instead of the crappiest town in Louisiana.
Oh, and now that I am going to be eating in front of someone (the husband) for most of my meals, I will have to get back on track. Being accountable will be good, so good.
I did a program for a rotary club in the small town I’m currently living in today. I was nervous, and I found that when I was talking I got shaky in my voice. Oh and did I mention- my boss was there watching - eeek! My public speaking skills are getting better and I’m getting less and less nervous to speak in front of crowds.
Awesome day!
My last actual post was Jan 29th. I have been doing poorly and thus not posting. I did hurt my knee, making it hard to continue Couch to 5K. Now I’ll prob have to start all over again. Excuses, excuses.
I went to the doctor to get a full check up and, get this, I am completely healthy. Obese and healthy?? How can all my blood work be normal yet I am over one hundred pounds overweight? I was *secretly* hoping for a huge wake up call from the doctor and my lab results. I told my doctor that I really want to lose weight and have a super hard time sticking to a weight loss plan long-term. She told me to stop eating all carbs, that is the magic secret. Call me crazy but I cannot imagine giving up and avoiding a food group so large that it is in almost everything! What about whole grains and good carbs, I asked her. All bad she said, give um up and I could lose 7 pounds in 1 week. I said I think that sounds extremely unhealthy and unsustainable. I think I need a new doctor.
