April 2008 Archives

I have a very sedentary job. I sit in a chair all day long and the only “exercise” I get is going downstairs to use the bathroom or get snacks. I’ve REALLY been letting myself go

I’ve been thinking ALOT about my health lately, and digging around the web I’ve turned up two pretty interesting sites…

I am sick, SICK of being and living the way that I am right now. I have a friend working on putting together a weight-lifting + exercise plan that will probably work for me and I’m going to start going back to the gym this week.

No more excuses.

Both my mother’s and father’s side of the family have a long history of heart problems and being overweight can just increase those risks. I don’t want to die of a heart attack when I’m 40 (or; in all probable reality – in the next six months either) so the best thing I can do is take care of myself now. I used to work out when I was younger, so I have some idea of what I need to do. It’s just a matter of getting off of my ass and actually doing it!

My BMI is 54.5 right now… not “overweight”, not “normal”, but “Morbidly Obese.” I do not want this.

We’ll see how this goes and I’ll post updates.

Just a test post to see if inserting images into my wordpress really works, with a media library…

And, now for flavor – I’ll add a kid talking about insurance…
