The right measurements a woman should be?

January 5, 2008 · 2 Comments

measuring-tape.jpgI recently received a search tag as right measurements for women and it literally ticked me off.

It’s sad that our world is so wrapped up in the size of women’s breast, the size of her waist, the dress size that she wears, and how much space she takes up.

 

“Hello People! There is nor will there ever be the right size for a woman.”

I think Vaseline and Dove have it right in their advertising. They show people of different ages and body shapes. Now we just have to get all the other companies to run with this.

It all comes down to being comfortable with you. The ultimate goal is to take care of your health and a healthy body exudes beauty no matter what size it is.

Now I’m not saying, “Don’t lose weight.” There are some of us that need to lose weight because of the effects of obesity. I’m included in this group.

We need to watch out for high blood pressure, diabetes, heart problems, joint problems, and breathing problems because it runs in our family. Women especially have to watch out for female problems that may arise from carrying extra weight.

 To those who are looking for the perfect size, it’s your size, right now. Enjoy your life no matter what size you are today. Take steps to get down to a smaller size if you need to but remember to enjoy your life today.

Today’s Thoughts

January 5, 2008 · No Comments

brain.jpgThe weather is damp, cold, and drizzly today so I had to plan a work-out indoors.

I really feel for my brothers and sisters who have to endure the hamper of ice and snow. Thank God for gyms. I hope to have a gym membership next year.

I’m a little bummed out today because I’m still unable to do floor exercises.

  I could scoot off the bed, do my core exercises on the floor, but I have no way to pull myself back up. Getting on my knees at all puts me in tears.

So exercises like the Banana, Back Extentions, and Bridge Ups will have to wait till my knees can take it. I thought about doing the exercises on the floor but think it would be bad form. I could possibly hurt my body and I don’t want to do that. I’ll just have to keep the core exercises for the days that my husband is home from work.

Dinner was really good last night and it will be again today. Dinner was so good that I wanted to take a freaking picture of it. There I was standing in front of my husband with my plate of 4 oz of lean meat, 1 cup of wild rice, and mound of green beans.

Shhhh! I have a little secret. I’m trying to recreate menu items from Jenny Craig, Nutrisystem, and sevel local restaurants. I want all the flavor but less fat and smaller serving sizes. I’ll let you know how it goes.
