Today I am in all sorts of pain; it is getting better as the day is going on but my goodness I could not move initially from being so stiff. My joints are popping, making me want some Rice Krispies. I understand why I have quit getting healthy before and why others quit but the pain I am taking in now will be nothing compared to a heart attack, troubles with diabetes, etc.
We just put a down deposit for a cruise this coming fall with our family which is more incentive to get healthier. Oh and here is a gripe....why is plus size women workout clothes VERY hard to come by. You go to Dicks Sporting Goods where men sizes can go up to a XXXL whereas the women's section goes up to a small XL. So let's encourage men to get active but not encourage women to get active. I guess women are supposed to be naturally thin; interesting since women are supposed to have more body fat than men. Luckily Target has some plus size workout clothes.
I started using the app "My Fitness Pal." It's great to keep track of a food and exercise journal. Yesterday I ate too little calories and the result said I can slow down my metabolism (I already have hypothyroidism; I don't need to slow it down anymore). The only complaint is that some people who are on MFP have no business being on MFP. There are people who are 5'2" complaining about being 114 or under....going on how "fat" they are. The minimum for that height is supposed to be 109. One woman said she was skinny/fat at 105. Seriously? I can see if you need to gain muscles to tone up but at that point it shouldn't be about losing weight. Thanks Hollywood, Fashion Industry and the Advertisement industry for making normal weight look obese and slightly below normal weight fat. I do seriously hope this can change someday.
Gotta love Target.
