come monday / it will be alright
the dog's toy is always preferred.
i'm tired tired tired of weight loss/diet things on the today show. i'm only watching now b/c they say jimmy buffett is coming on. i love jimmy buffett.
but really, i'm so tried of people talking like being "overweight" is a horrible thing. I think it is good to exercise. I think it is good to eat fresh fruits and veggies. These diet programs that have prepackaged foods does not seems healthy to me. I just watched some lady buy a bunch of packaged foods at the store (crackers and such). I feel like she would be better off with an apple!
of course, i could be called overly sensitive, but lately i've gotten all into Shapely Prose. It has made me recognize that we just need to get over ourselves! Healthy at Any Size. I am far from "fat" (though i am also far from "skinny"). I am "average". Completely average. And feel great. (well, baring the cold symptoms.) I am SO VERY tired of seeing/reading diet stuff. Oprah is dieting (always). Regis and Kelly had a losing weight things of sorts. The Today Show has something every.damn.day about diets/weight loss.
I read Shape and fitness. I enjoy reading about the people whole lost 60 lbs, but now they are having to do 90 mins of cardio 5xs a week and 60 mins of strength training 2xs a week to keep the weight off! That is a CRAZY amount of time to spend working out. For the majority of people that would be all they do besides work. How about family? or love? or reading? I would venture to say that vast majority of "skinny" people out there could not do 90 mins of cardio ONE day, much less 5xs a week! Healthy at any size!
I wish we could see that people have certain weights. Some are light, some are heavier. Some people have medical conditions that make the heavier then most. Study after study shows that one's weight has way more to do with genetics than lifestyle. People do horrible things to their body to be skinny.
I eat WAY WAY better than benjamin. (I also worked out infinity more (since one is dividing by zero)) but i will always outweigh him, and not by a little. Of course, he loves my body. I'm making concerted effort not to obsess worry about the baby weight have yet to lose. I might not ever lose it, and I am okay with that. Aiden is totally worth every pound that sticks around. : )
