I stepped on a scale today after being "off" in everything over the holidays, and I have tipped this scale to my highest non-pregnant weight of my life. Yikes. The last five months have been stressful, and I've definitely been overindulging in the carbs and sugars. Oh, how I love carbs and sugars.
I am 5'7" tall. So, here's the BMI issue. I used a calculator at http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/educational/lose_wt/BMI/bmicalc.htm. Guess what. I'm overweight. (Not a surprise.) I've been hovering around 25 for the past couple of years.
Honestly, I don't have a specific weight goal or anything. I mean, I would love to lose 35-40 pounds and keep it off, perhaps. Mostly, right now, short-term goal, I would like to be able to zip up my jackets without them being tight around the midsection. Also, seriously, I want to look/feel hot in lacy underthings. I know that just exercising will make me feel better both about myself and my body, so really, the second part of my short-term goal will be accomplished when I work on the first. :)
So. Here we go.
Shauna was not feeling well tonight, so I went to the gym by myself and watched the national championship game (Roll Tide!). I ran on the treadmill and then looked at some of the circuit machines, but there were a lot of people over there, so I only got to try about 1/3 of them. It was a little intimidating. But, I am so proud that I went by myself!!! That's huge for me.
