Back Fat & Belly Pooch

Trula — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 15:20:05 +0000

I’m getting a belly pooch again and back fat again eeeeeeeep! It just creeped up on me. The past couple of months I’ve been so busy with work and my bookstore and my family and etc, haven’t made the time to exercise or be mindful about what/how I’m eating. It’s also been a while since I’ve been to the gym! and running, when I do run it’s real short like just a 1/2 mile or quarter mile. So I need to get cracking again.

Today’s Health Goals:
30 minutes yoga
30 minutes brisk walking
1 mile run
Drink 120 oz water
One serving meals, no seconds
Raw veggies or air-popped popcorn for snacks
Fruit for dessert

Goal Weight: 130 pounds

Pizza Angst

Trula — Fri, 03 Apr 2009 00:54:48 +0000

Had a toasted veggie sub for dinner while husband and sons had pizza. I really really really really really really really really really really really really wanted a slice, and would have gotten one…if. If I could stop at one slice! But not sure if I could, kinda shaky on that. I’m losing weight again and don’t want to lose any ground.

I just have to hold tight to my reasons for getting to a healthy weight. I am one fat attack away from diabetes, hypertension, all sorts of health issues that plague many in my family. PLUS at a healthy weight I can run! without all that fat pressure hurting my knees.

This Job Is Turning Me Into a Potato

Trula — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 03:38:00 +0000

I had to go to the doctor today because I have had this lingering, nasty cold for the past few weeks. This is going into week 3 so I thought I should check it out. It turned out to be a low grade inner ear infection. Anyway I had to get weighed and OH NO but I have gained some weight back. My home scale is so, oh so broken. I was actually shocked not to mention aghast. Because I have not been overeating and/or eating unhealthy…that much. yes I have fallen into the temptation of junk food at work when pressed for time, but that much? Then again, I’m stuck at my desk all day for 10-hour shifts and what not, it’s not a very active job. I refuse to turn into a potato though, I have come too far and worked too hard for that. I will just have to get up extra early and hit the gym first thing in the morning before work. Planning to do it after work is not working at all and with my limited break time (I kid you not, in a 10 hour shift I get three 10 minute breaks and one 30 minute lunch, that’s it) there is not much time to do anything during lunch except walk around the building a few times after quickly scarfing down my lunch.

I was watching Oprah the other week and she had Dr. Oz on talking about places in the world that have a high proportion of healthy elderly people. In all these places, the way the people lived, just going about their business was a full and physically active life. They made most of their food from scratch, they grew food, they chopped wood, they washed clothes, they bent and lifted and carried heavy things on the daily. In this one village just doing things to survive was equal to several hours in the gym every day. Their 90 year olds were comparable in condition to American 40 year olds, it was wild.

It’s not feasible for me to live my life completely in that way, but there has got to be a middle ground between that and this potato-inducing, desk-bound, low-activity job that’s turning my metabolism to sludge. I am not the one, because with my family health history (on both sides!) I am one fat attack away from all sorts of obesity-triggered health problems including heart disease, diabetes, thyroid problems, and more.

Phooey. I think I burned off five pounds due to fury alone seeing my weight at the docs, I’m so serious. It’s on.
