Links: Healthy Enough, Attractiveness, Photoshop
This quote comes from a personal finance blog, but it ties into the “enough” conversation a bit: If one defines the word rich in non-monetary terms, the seemingly herculean feat of “getting rich” may be one of the easiest (and most valuable) accomplishments of one’s life. What if “rich” is simply defined as “being content?” […] It is quite true that without sufficient financial health to provide…

What’s Enough Exercise?
This started as a conversation over at Spoonforkfuls’ blog. living400lbs Says: […] One of my recurring issues with injuries is finding the line between working out too much and not working out enough…. spoonfork38 Says: Yeah, it’s that definition of ‘enough’ that gets me almost every time. I mean, enough for what, exactly? living400lbs Says: In my case? I’m working out enough if I avoid that nice…

I just want you to have hope!
Losing weight is possible! Sure, it doesn’t work for most people, but it did for me! You need to think positive! Keep trying! Some of us can lose weight permanently! Yes, and some people do win the lottery. Doesn’t mean I’m cashing out my 401(k) to buy lotto tickets.

[Another weekly exercise in gratitude.] 1) A week that is going well. 2) I can lay on my back for half an hour or more and not have it “lock up”. 3) The annual summer drought has ended, or at least is in a lull. 4) I now walk half a mile in 15 minutes (used to take me 25). 5) Discovering a way to get grease stains out…

Why Try Out for Biggest Loser?
I’m at a disadvantage here, because I haven’t watched the show.* I’ve had people suggest I try out for the show — often as small talk, but also as an “OMG you’d be great on The Biggest Loser!” (The latter I remember clearly, since it was from my boss. I asked if she really thought I should quit my job, because if so we should talk.…

The site has a few changes I thought worth noting! I’ve collected the “Day in the Life” series on a page. I also started a page to collect my exercise posts, since that’s turning into a series too. Enjoy :)

What Exercise Won’t Do
I’ve been writing more about exercise, so I thought this worth pointing out: Exercise won’t make you skinny. Yes, some people exercise for weight control. But it requires working out a lot, not a little, and you don’t necessarily lose a lot of weight. Some people gain a little weight when they start exercising. Bodybuilders work hard to gain weight. Exercise can improve your mobility, balance,…

Something Positive
[Another weekly exercise in gratitude.] This is one of those weeks where part of me would rather rant about the unjust crap in life and not look for things to be grateful for. But … that’s also part of why I do it, to focus on the good instead of the bad. 1) Cooler weather for a change! It’s encouraging me to walk outdoors and bringing better sleep.…
