QOTD: Exercise
9 comments on QOTD: ExerciseFrom Linda Bacon, in an interview at Psych Central: [E]xercising regularly will have a much more dramatic improvement on the health of a fat person than if he or she were to lose weight. Thin people don’t have longer life spans solely based on their weight. Fitness levels play a much larger role in health than weight. Put a focus on activities that you enjoy and just…

A few things
1, I am feeling sort of “stuck” these days and it’s getting to the point where it’s pissing me off. 2, A comment in the spam filter got me giggling when it talked about how I might not lose much weight if I exercised but if I were to start exercising I would lose fat in my muscles. Because OF COURSE I have a menu item…

Thankful Thursday
[a not-always-weekly exercise in gratitude] It’s Thursday and I’m thankful for: I’m getting better at exercising regularly. It’s having results in terms of feeling stronger & being able to do more physically. The rain is watering the yard for me. One less item on the to-do list :) …and the roses are still blooming. Fresh strawberries and shortbread with tea this afternoon. Decadence! A friend posted a link…

A Year or Two Ago…
Two years ago I wrote about my knee problems for the first time. I also compared what I think of as “magazine math” such as “An average person walking half an hour a day will lose 13 pounds a year” with an actual study involving an hour of aerobics a day, 6 days a week for a year…and resulted an average loss of 3 or 4 pounds.…

Not quite a post
So I’d like to write a post, but I’m not sure what about. At the moment I’m listening to Fatcast and doing leg lifts. I am pleased that I can lie down and do a couple sets of a dozen double-leg raises — lifting both legs together so the feet are about a foot off the floor, then lowering them in a controlled fashion — instead of…

Things to Read
From Marianne Kirby at The Rotund: FA represents a long chain of people coming to the realization that the diet roller coaster is, to mix my metaphors, a sucker bet. The diet industry – when you get down to the bare, capitalist bones of it – has quite a lot of profit to be made from making people, especially women, feel awful about their bodies and their…

Music Monday: Midichlorian Rhapsody & Wastin’ Away Again on Tatooine
I didn’t mean to make a post last Tuesday and then not post at all. But Tuesday and Wednesday were crazy at work, capping off with a midnight release. Thursday I slept in and ran around helping setup a concert for an indie artist (and it seemed every mic cord had multiple knots in it…grr) and got home from the afterparty around 3am and wide awake and…

A Year or Two Ago…
Just over a year ago we were remembering the deaths of people who were “too fat” to evacuate after Katrina. Later that week I wrote a post on buying plane tickets that still gets a number of hits. Two years ago I wrote one of this blog’s most-googled/viewed posts. (Why “fat woman sex” is one of the perennials of the search terms is not for me to answer.) I…
