In today's HKIN (human kinetics) lab, we did Body Comp. It is the crasher of self esteems. For mine, anyways. I got told from two different charts that I was obese. I'm trying to remain calm about the absolute insanity we must follow in order to feel healthy. Last weight, during the Muscle lab, I scored 'high performance' for all the labs. This week, I'm obese. WTF.
But I have been thinking. I'm not fat. My gut doesn't hang over my pants, and my thighs don't thunder when I walk. I can see my toes, and I have no double chins. I can shop in regular clothing stores, and don't have to order special-size bras. But being healthy is important, and I can improve in so many ways. Just cause I look fine doesn't mean I necessarily am. My eating habits here are not exceptional, but then again, I'm a little too hard on myself with the whole dieting thing. Despite that, I believe it is time for an overhaul. As in, fitting in exercise regardless - and finding a way to maintain that for a more than a week. Also, snacking choice womp here. Actually, they rock - oatmeal cookies and pretzels make any tummy happy, but not the waist line. So I need to find good things to snack on. Like, nuts from home. Low fat yogurt. Fruit. Veggies. The usual. It's just a zillion time tougher here as you have to buy it at the store or consciously look for it in the Caf. But this has come to be something I need to do. I'm 'grown up' now, so I should start acting like it. I need to grow a backbone of self control and just do it. And I will. This is the beginning of my plan. But what the heck, I just made it public. I guess there's nothing a little accountability won't do for ya, eh?
Have a Happy Turkey Day weekend.
