Healthy Lifestyle update


1. Weight loss since posting SMART Goals: 0 lbs

2. Total minutes exercised since same post: 30 seconds of jumping jacks, maybe a total of 30 minutes walking. (does sex count?)

Lame. Very lame. So much for accountability. I have to lose 5 lbs. by December 31. Maybe I should get a move on, eh?

Two things not helping me reach my goals: tubs of cookie dough in the freezer, frantic pace at work which make me think I'm too tired to workout when I get home.

To help with goal-- I'll post weekly about this issue and list total lbs. lost, total exercise. Gah.

Yeah, I'm not losing any more, either. Grr. I've worked out all of once (last Sunday). Sigh. Didn't we have a challenge going?? Let's get on that. I'll work out tonight if you do.

MPB, if it gets your heart rate moving, it should count as exercise. So I say YES, too!

puffin, I think you're right. AFTER I lose the weight, I'll maybe even post before and after pix. No bikinis though. Ick.

jurgen, you're ON.

just found this on an exercise site (www.fitwatch.com)--

Sexual activity- moderate: burns almost 80 calories per hour for someone at my weight.

Sexuaal activity- vigorous: burns almost 90 calories per hour for someone at my weight.

OK, so I was hoping that it would burn more like 250 calories per hour, but this is still acceptable for exercise in my book! ;-)

but I'm SHORT. Like barely 5 foot 3 inches (I think that's like 1.6m).

I'm still too heavy for my size, not horrible, but too heavy.

yeah, yeah, yeah... whatever. Here's the whole issue: I have gone from being able to wear whatever I want, as well as walk up a flight of stairs without needing an oxygen tank to... well, NOT being able to do those things. And it's all because some stupid doctor misdiagnosed me with depression. She put me on those drugs (as I've mentioned before), and I couldn't do anything but sleep. Add 10lbs. Then when I was actually diagnosed with the right thing (sinus issues), the good doctor put me on steroids. Add another 10lbs. That's 20 lbs in a little over a year! (too lazy to metric conversion right now) I'm out of shape, and if I don't take care of it now (plus the fact that I'm not getting any younger)-- I want to be a hottie again, ummm... I mean... I just want to feel better about myself! ;-)
