Incentives to lose weight?
From The Onion’s satirical corner comes this “man on the street” reaction to the news that the Army has rejected 48,000 would-be recruits for being too fat. So let’s summarize my incentives for losing weight: I’ll be hungry all the time, I’ll be tired all the time, and I’ll qualify for Army service. Not to mention increasing the risk of death, disability, and sexual assault! Gee, I wonder…

Obviously I’m on the west coast since it’s still Thursday here ;) 1) Time with my sweetie. 2) Have a new “exercise ball” to sit on at my desk at the office, paid for by work. No arms, so “arms digging into my hips and thighs” problem with the standard office chairs goes away. Plus it’s fun :) 3) Increased my morning “treadmill time” to…

Do you know your upper arm size in centimeters? Well-Rounded Mama has a great post on how the wrong blood-pressure-cuff size can cause misdiagnosis and over- or under-treatment. (Mine is 48.) Margaret Cho’s “diet” where you eat what you want, you don’t have to eat anything you don’t want, and you can buy clothes that fit you now. Body dissatisfaction increases risk of suicide in…

1) I’ve got a day off! Whee, I get to play! :) 2) Knee is reminding me to walk daily in addition to other exercises. [….this is the silver lining within the cloud of “Argh, I can’t take a day (or two or five) off?”] 3) Knee is not hurting badly and I can walk with only a slight limp at times. 4) I don’t actually have any zombies to…
