BMI

Sorry, I'm obsessing over weight right now and probably will be for a while. It comes and goes...

Today just to torture myself I looked at the BMI scale (body mass indicator). Hurray for me I'm just over-weight at risk for high blood pressure, diabetes, stroke, heart failure....etc. Gee, the same list when I was obese...GROAN! There is light at the end of the tunnel when I weigh 154 I'll be in normal range for BMI. Plus BMI does not take in to account for muscles. Isn't that a tad odd? Muscle weighs more than fat, and you should be muscular to some extent it helps you keep your bone mass.

The scale was wavering this morning not quite 178 but not quite 179. Hopefully tomorrow it will read 178. That would be an awesome result for the start of a new eating plan.

We tried this recipe yesterday it is AWESOME! I doubled it.
