Day 59: "Selfies"

    Recently I became aware of the term "selfies".  It was in an article about how grown people should not post "selfies" in bathing suits, work-out clothes, basically NEVER do this.   I mean truly, who wants to post themselves on FB, instagram, blogs?  The answer is certainly not me,  but wait......  I started a blog and I have been posting "selfies",  haven't I ????  Does this apply to my 365 fitness journey?   I kind of think "selfies" are important to track progress,  although I must admit it is the worst part about writing this blog.

Day 47: Were?

1999

        So I had some girls over the other day for a meeting.  One of the girls had never been to my home and we have only been acquainted for 1 year.  She was looking around at some pictures and came across one of my wedding.  She held up the frame and very seriously said, "you WERE so young and pretty!"  I said thank you but couldn't get the comment out of my mind.  She then went on to make a comment about how we are all aging.  A very real idea.  Of course we are all aging but when WERE we young or beautiful?  Does that just vanish because we are older, more wrinkled, spotted, scarred???  I guess I still think of myself as young and pretty.  I guess I feel this way because I love my life and feel very happy about where I am at 39 but I guess it is all in the mind set.  I hope you all can still live like you ARE young and pretty and not live like you "WERE".

Day 44: The cartoon

I recently came across a cartoon that basically sums up how I feel about dieting and exercise. I haven't wanted to post it due to its use of the "f bomb". But for some reason this cartoon cracks me up on a million levels. I have been completely slacking on my journey the last couple weeks. If you want to know how I am doing, please refer to the pink bird in the cartoon.

Day 39: The chart

Add caption

According to this chart, I am an ideal weight for a medium frame woman.  However, If I happened to be a small frame woman, I am off the chart.  When did we determine if we are small, medium or large?  Nobody has ever told me there is a difference.  I'm going to assume I am medium frame since that is where I "fit in",  but in reality I'm probably small.  Well, I am still down 5 lbs and for a person my size that is good enough to fit in my jeans.  Isn't that what we want anyway, to fit in our jeans...... Oh and a bathing suit but I haven't tackled that yet.
