Foxy 14 - Overweight but not obese!

Good Morning Gals!

I got on the scale at work, fully clothed & wearing the lanyard that holds my I.D. & an ink pen. Of course I am overweight when I'm wearing all of this madness! Plus I wear glasses and heavy sneakers. Tack on a few more lbs because of these oh-so-heavy items. I calculated my BMI and discovered that I am indeed overweight. Not obese. Just overweight. I can live with this. I do reside in the "Every thing's (should be EVERY BODY'S) bigger" state of Texas. Thus, because of my current residency status, I'm counting myself as "within normal limits." Hooray me! Thankfully, I'm smaller than a majority of the women that live here, so I still have a decent self-image. If I get any bigger, I'll just keep moving southward to continue hearing the "girl, you so skinny" comments.  :-) 



Yesterday I did a nice circuit of jumping jacks, push-ups, and sit-ups. It was a fabulous work out & I plan to incorporate it in to my routine on too hot or too cold days. As a matter of fact, I may do some of those jumping jacks right here in the nurses station before I leave work. Whoo hooo! I'm a genius. A real genius wouldn't have contracted the words "I" and "am" to make "I'm" but I'm a genius nonetheless.

Today's goals are cold leftovers from the week:
* Go see "True Grit". I did finish "A Single Man" & it was mediocre.
* Finish grad school application. The transcripts are on the way. :-)
* Buy fruit and bread.
* Increase the number of sit-ups.
* Decrease the number of fork-ups.

Have a grand one FT'ers!
