Business Class and Boobs

I recently planned a little get away for myself and got really stressed out while booking my airfare. Everything was uber expensive because it was Easter/Passover vaca. I debated for a few days whether to spend the extra money on business class. I only do actual vacation usually twice a year so I decided to go for the business class seat. I don't actually remember the last time I sat in a regular coach seat. Trust me, I know how spoiled that sounds. I normally fly for work so anything over four hours is business class or I do JetBlue exit row. I'll explain further. You see, when are a chubster it is very embarrassing and uncomfortable to be hurdled like cattle and forced to sit in one position for several hours while your back muscles tighten up and misery is guaranteed to ensue. So, I decided to splurge on the more comfortable seat to spare myself. I am still lucky enough that the regular airplane seatbelt fits me with plenty of room but that won't be the case unless I nip my problem in the bud. As a side note the food they feed you on the plane promotes obesity, so not worth the calories. Now that I think about it I do remember a few years ago being thinner and sitting in a coach seat. I would sleep in weird positions in the seat like leaning forward on the tray table. Right now my boobs are so huge I could never do it. I mean DDD huge so ginormous. I am hoping they will get smaller as I lose weight. That is if I ever do. Somedays I feel like it will never happen. It isn't an unknown though. If I am disciplined and do the work I will. That is a fact.

Spicy Pickles and Spirit Hoods

I continued the last few weeks to have a few more post birthday celebrations. I mean what girl doesn't celebrate their entire bday month. One of my close friends even gifted me with the most fabulous creation, a pink wolf (of course my fav color) spirit hood. What is a spirit hood you might ask? It is a furry hat with scarf like appendages that have paw pockets for your hands. A brilliant find for this harsh winter we had. The characteristics of the pink wolf from its website are as follows: Is your Spirit Animal the Pink Wolf? If so, watch out! The Pink Wolf is here to play. You often run wild with your pack and clearly love to have a good time. You sparkle and shine! You are confident, loving and playful. This describes me to a tee but on a more serious note I do let my weight at times interfere with my fabulousity. It is difficult to understand why and equally as challenging to realize why I often lack the discipline to conquer this crap once and for all. Do you just wake up one morning and something suddenly clicks in your brain for your "a ha" moment? If so, it just hasn't happened for me yet. I've been planning more and just eating a lot of the same thing like spicy pickles every day. They are zero calories and make for a filling snack with some protein. Maybe you don't have to be creative and the key is you aren't supposed to think about it SO much. You have to eat to live but it doesn't always have to be a culinary masterpiece, it's just fuel. Is that the difference between peeps who "get it" and those who don't? If I find out I'll definitely clue you in. We'll see how my new experiment goes of eating similar items each day. Will I obsess about food less this way? That would be the goal. Until we meet again. Sincerely, Zoftig Princess

Birthday Time

As I celebrate another year's birthday I have a lot to reflect upon. It's been a very difficult year when it came to maintaining my diet and exercise routine. However it's been an extremely rich year when it came to family, friends and romantic relationships. I traveled a ton including a crazy cool two week trip to Tokyo. My regimen of massages and copious amounts of unsweetened green tea seem to be working. I recently had a physical and am literally in perfect health: low cholesterol, low blood pressure- lungs, heart and blood in great order. All considerably lucky since I am still quite heavy and even put on weight this year. So now once again I am in that phase of trying to jump start a fitness and weight-loss program. I've started to workout again slowly with some spin, treadmill and elliptical time with a goal of covering about 10k steps per day. It's not that easy and requires a great deal of discipline. I'm up for the challenge though. One of my recent fitness breakthroughs has been the purchase of a foam roller. It's really helped with the sore tight muscles of getting back into my fitness routine. I tend towards being on the tighter side of the spectrum and you can just feel the muscles stretch/elongate as you roll up and down. I love it. I'm also trying to get in the habit of writing this blog again. It all coincides together, writing, healthy eating and working out. It's the trifecta of the game of life :)
