Gettin' Healthy 2018!

-
I've been feeling extremely self-conscious about my body lately. I went back and found a post I wrote in May of 2014. I was working on losing weight then too. Let's see how I did these past 5 years.....

2014

Chest: 31.5 inches
Bust: 38 inches
Waist: 31 inches
Midway: 26 inches
Thighs: 22.5
Knee: 16 inches
Hips: 39 inches
Right Arm (upper, above the elbow): 12 inches
Right Arm (lower, below the elbow): 10 inches
Left Arm (upper, above the elbow): 12 inches
Left Arm (lower, below the elbow): 10 inches
Wrist (L&R): 6.5 inches

Stats:
Height: 5'7"
Current Weight: 158 pounds
Goal Weight: Somewhere in the 130's
Body Fat: 25.73% - which apparently is considered "Acceptable"
Pounds of Body Fat: 41.08 pounds


2018

Chest: 33 inches
Bust: 39 inches
Waist: 32 inches
Midway: 39 inches
Thighs: 24 inches
Knee: 16 inches
Hips: 41 inches
Right & Left Arm (upper, above the elbow): 12 inches
Right & Left Arm (lower, below the elbow): 10 inches
Wrist (L&R): 7 inches

Stats:
Height: 5'7"
Current Weight: 173.4 pounds
Goal Weight: Somewhere in the 130's
BMI: 27.09 - Between 25 & 29.9 (Overweight) - Treatment
"People falling in this BMI range are considered overweight and would benefit from finding healthy ways to lower their weight, such as diet and exercise. Individuals who fall in this range are at increased risk for a variety of ilnesses. If your BMI is 27-29.99 your risk of health problems becomes higher." - BMI Calculator Results Website

Body Fat: 26.61% - barely made the "Acceptable" percentage
Pounds of Body Fat: 44.98 pounds


Depressing. It's the only word I can think of that describes how I feel after taking my current body measurements and weighing myself. I've gained a lot of weight. I am officially classified in the "overweight" category. 

At this moment, I am feeling extremely inspired to start making changes in my health and fitness lifestyle. But I tend to be slightly bi-polar when it comes to the "motivation" and "doing" aspect of actually making the necessary changes. At this point, I feel desperate. I can't even look in the mirror without cringing. NONE of my clothes look good on me (I show everywhere! Big boobs, muffin top, giant thighs, etc). I can't look at pictures of myself either, because then I can really see how bad I look. My face is so chubby. 

Here's to losing weight this summer! ...... after I eat my pint of Ben & Jerry's ice cream during The Bachelorette tonight..... and here's to no more excuses either! This is gonna suck! :(

Morticia and Gomez Addams Love Song: "Rot Next to You"

Song: Morticia and Gomez Addams Love Song: "Rot Next to You" Artist: The Hound + The Fox Wow this is so good! 🥀 So, funny enough, I just watched the 1990's Addams Family film for the first time eva a couple days ago and then  this video pops up on my youtube feed (if this isn't proof that the government is stalking us through technology IDK what is! 😱). Anyway, even though I didn't care for the movie all that much, I thought this song captured Morticia and Gomez perfectly! And it's actually a really, beautiful love song for Halloween time! I especially like the bridge (and I'm pretty sure it's a direct quote from the movie because when I heard them singing it I was like "That sounds familiar...." 🤔). We all need somebody to rot next to at the end.... 😂 Sorry about the dark humor 😈🖤🥀 I see you like  A night with a full moon  I feel you like a flame  You cast a spell on me  I like how you make me weak  I play you like a game  I hope w

Siren Call

Song: Siren Call Artist: Hanson This song is off of Hanson's Fan Club EP: Loud (2016). I have been slightly obsessed with this haunting song as of late. This song is about dealing with depression ( Zac Hanson even said so ! Be forewarned, explicit language is used in this video. I'm so sorry). Once I heard Zac explain the meaning and message behind this song it made so much sense to me! I have always loved it and I've always known it had a powerful message but I could never quite figure out what it was. This song is about struggling. Being weighed-down by the burdens and challenges life brings to each and every one of us. When we stop and allow ourselves to "give in" to the pain and sadness that comes with the stress of life, that's when we begin to slip and fall into a deep depression. That's when our "Siren's Call" us. And pull us down. No straighter path than to struggle .... This is perfect. And it's true. Life is a constan

Sally's Song and Corpse Bride Medley

Song: Sally's Song and Corpse Bride Medley Artist: From Youtube I found this really creepy, cool medley/cover on youtube. I really like it! Major  Halloween  vibes from two  Halloween  inspired movies. The  Corpse Bride  lyrics were written by the person who posted/sang this song. She does a great job! Thanks for sharing  Trickywi ! I sense there's something in the wind That feels like tragedy's at hand And though I'd like to stand by him Can't shake this feeling that I have The worst is just around the bend And does he notice my feelings for him? And will he see how much he means to me? I think it's not to be Under a tree at quarter three, I had some hope in me But life was taken from me, but I did not feel peace I made a vow within my gown that love will come to me But there he is and suddenly I had been found I adore him What will become of my dear friend Where will his actions lead us then? Although I'd like to join the crowd In their enth
