What do Dolly Parton and Thalia (aka Marimar) have in common? They (allegedly) had waist-reduction surgery by removing parts of their ribs.
If I had the money maybe I would.
If it would make more womanly and more like the girls my age.
It just sounds terrifying.
I lost 2 inches off my waist. Yay!
My trainees say I do look a lot thinner lately. I say “Well, its all thanks to you guys. The class wore me down!” That class was tiresome, yes, but I love them to bits. One of them was not keen on my weightloss, saying that my cheeks are a bit sunken in. I guess its just a bit to get used to.
I have a lot more energy. I rarely get sick. I take my vitamins plus more Vitamin C.
I don’t have strict exercise regimen. I just try to move around alot. I walk and use the stairs a lot at work. Three times a week, I just do 4 sets of 30 crunches, some stretching, twisting on my little orange disk and spinning (stationary biking), while watching TV.
I love veggies so eating healthy is not a big deal for me. My family eats big, but we eat healthy. Lots of green and no processed and fatty stuff for us growing up. I drink lots of water, 2 cups of green tea a day, 2 cups (max) of coffee. I eat breakfast like a king, lunch a like a prince, snack like a hiker, and just have a cup of green tea for dinner.
Goal: Reach a waist-to-hip ratio of 7. I’m not so concerned about my weight since 130 lbs is within normal range for my height of 5’3″. This is a bit of a challenge for me since I have an apple-shaped body. And yes, this is both for aesthetics and health.
To Level-up: Ease on the rice (which I love too much) and add one more set or crunches to my routine. I may change this plan once I lose more weight. I don’t want to get too complicated since I have never been active (no sports or dancing while I was growing up) Easy does it.
Epiphany: The less I think about it, the more effective my plan is. The less I stress about it, the better I feel.
And Last: I’ll try to have a more positive outlook in life. So I can sleep better.
