Was looking at some info on my health insurance website today. Calculated my BMI and it 40.8 -- yikes!!

The chart on their website says:
underweight - below 18.5
normal - 18.5 - 24.9
overweight - 25-29.9
obese - 30 and above

Now when I get to calculating, to even enter into the NORMAL category, I will need to lose down to 159 lbs. My ultimate goal is 145 which would put me at 22.7 BMI. So I got to thinking, I am losing a 'normal' sized person to get to my goal. That for some reason, just cracks me up.

The kicker was that...

Have been eating out of control, but still doing cardio.

Those dam Ritz Bitz peanut butter crackers mini's. Too good.
I have not had any today, but the last couple of days I've eaten a serving a day.

Eating steaks and too many nuts. My cravings are out of control and i'm trying to eat low carb, but I'm eating too many calories. A cookie here and ritz bits there....it has to stop.
Hopefully the cardio will keep me from gaining.

Since there is no scale here, I will not be able to weigh until Sunday.

Today is Lillian's birthday....

People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing - that's why we recommend it daily. ~Zig Ziglar

Surround yourself with only people who are going to lift you higher. You will be wounded many times in your life. You'll make mistakes. Some people will call them failures but I have learned that failure is really God's way of saying, "Excuse me, you're moving in the wrong direction." It's just an experience, just an experience. ~ Oprah Winfrey

Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it's always your choice. Wayne...

The kids are home from vacation. Already driving me nuts but in a good way. I really missed them. We are going to get them cell phones today since they are getting to that age. I weighed myself just for fun knowing TOM is only days away and somehow I lost 1/2 lb. Believe me Ill take it. I was worried that I was stuck at 187 so as long as I am not stalled I am a happy camper.
