The Weight Resolutions
Jim over at Hiawatha Cyclery inspired me to post my weight resolution.
Ever since my wedding two and a half year ago where I was at a significant low in terms of weight (160 lb.), I’ve been gaining, slowly and painfully. I’m at 186.2 lb.
Numbers say that this is close to being obese. Whereas just under 160 is “Normal Weight”.
That’s fine and dandy, and should be a good enough indicator… but the real indicator is this. If you have “normal weight” imagine wrapping your midsection several times around with rubber, 25-30 lb. should do it. This is known as the spare tire.
Not only are you walking around with this excess weight, you’re also trying to sit comfortably with it, get up from sitting down with it. It turns doing anything into a chore. more…
