Beck's Challange

I have joined up with the girls for Beck's 6 week belly buster challange.

I didn't do it so much because I have a big belly, but I did it to simply challenge myself.

I seriously need some encouragement to get off my keester and get moving.

It would be very silly of me to join a challange and then not exercise wouldn't it?

Monday I did a little bit of power walking (in the city walking to my massage), but other than the squats and crunches I did to figure out how many I could do in one sitting I didn't do much else.

What a slacker I am.

So I will be reporting more regularly here about the challange because I need to see my inches to improve. Especially the thigh and arm ones.

I bought a size 10 pair of cream colored business suit pants and they fit everywhere but in the thigh. Yuck. Not a pretty sight.

I was really impressed with how big or small I should say my waist is. I can't remember ever seeing a number lower than 30 something.

I was also impressed with my hip measurement although beck didn't ask for it.

I didnt keep my measurements from the beginning but boy do I wish I had.

So here are my measurements as of Monday:
Neck: 13in
U/Arm: 12in
Bust: 34in
Waist: 29in
Tummy: 31in
Hips: 36in (not that long ago that # was 45+)
Thigh: 22in
Calf: 15in
Ankle: 9in

Did you mean 12 in for your upper arm? 'cause 22 sounds pretty big for the size of the rest of you ... :)

A trip down memory lane

Hello to all of you all of you coming via Michele , thanks for stopping by and I only hope it was worth the trip over. I began reading through the questions on the Slimmer of The Year application today. Of course there are so many things I want to include, but I can't possibly write everything I want to or they will be getting a novel. When I started thinking of how long I have been overweight and the reasons I struggled for so long with food and weight issues a lot of memories came back to me. I've been challanged by my weight for most of my life. Granted some of that time I only thought I was fat when I really wasn't. The point is that I have been fat inside my head for as long as I can remember. One of the most shameful and embarrassing moments was when I was 15 and some of the boys in my class thought it was funny to sing "thunder, thunder, thunder thighs hooooooo!" when they saw me coming to the tune of the cartoon "Thunder Cats." That experie...

Life happens

I wish I could tell you guys that everything is on track and that the reason I have not been writing is because life has just been too good. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Winter is generally a crap time of year for me. I thought that this one I could get a handle on it and not have it get the best of me. I was wrong. Exercise? Who me? Eat healthy? Um no. Last night I wanted chips so mr. ralph went out at midnight and got us chips and dip and we sat in our pj's watching the England and Portugal quarter final stuffing our faces. Am I painting a pretty picture? For the most part I eat well. I do. I do not stock my house with these kinds of foods. I have learned that because I am an emotional eater, it is better if I don't. But mr. ralph is too easy. Where I won't go out and buy something at midnight, if I ask him too he will go for me. Yes, I do believe we are in a co-dependent relationship, even where food is concerned. We both eat when we feel emotional....

Double your pleasure, double your fun...

Halfway through I do switch gears and talk about weight-loss once again [begin political rant] Recently I went out with one of my aussie female friends on a night where she was meeting up with a guy she had met on one of the match websites. That night I did happen to partake in a few too many drinks due to the price of one of my favorite bottled beers being only $4 compared to $7 or even $8 in some places. The man she met happened to be very nice, and I enjoyed speaking to him, but he had a friend with him who was with a female the likes of which I refer to as "granola". You know the kind. I don't like to contribute to stereotypes, but I hope the term "granola" is not in the least offensive to any of my readers. I like; it is good with some honey and milk. Anyway to get to the point the man friend and ms. granola appeared to not like me and it became increasingly clear why. With every comment I made about anything they seem to have the exact opposite opinio...
