Purpose

Honestly, this wouldn't be worth it without a purpose, goal, or intent. This? Exactly, making a public confession to hold myself accountable. Everything here is personal, but I'm exposing it because I want to change.

The purpose is to document specific elements of my daily activities that directly relate to my health. It's a way to determine why I'm chubby, prevent it, and to improve my percentages.

Hip With It

Well, well, well, who knew us women were fruity. Honestly, having thinner legs would be great. It would be nice for a change.

Waist to Hip Ratio:

Results: You have a waist to hip ratio of 0.77. The information you entered: Sex = Female, waist = 34 inches and hip = 44 inches. Your shape puts you at reduced risk of coronary heart disease, diabetes and stroke. Frequently referred to as pear shape, you tend to keep fat off your midsection and more on your hips. Your body does not convert this lower body fat as readily as midsection fat, which keeps cholesterol down. Calculate  your own ratio.

Body Fat

It's incredible how much gross fat we're all carrying around. Here is an accurate Body Fat Calculator if you'd like to know where you're at with your fat.

Body Fat Estimation:
Gender: Female
Waist size at narrowest point: 30 inches
Waist size at navel: 34 inches
Hip size at widest point: 44 inches
Neck at narrowest point: 13 inches

U.S. Navy Formula: 32.29%
YMCA Formula: 28.99%

Studies say that if you have a small waist, your body fat calculation will show a low value. On the other hand, if you carry all your extra weight around your middle, you may have an elevated percentage. Having extra weight in the middle area increases the risk of heart disease and stroke.

For Females:
Average Body Fat for U.S.: 32%
Ideal Body Fat: 22%
Athletic: 15-20%
Dangerous Low: <10%

BMI Categories:

• Normal weight = 18.5–24.9
• Overweight = 25–29.9

Yes, very strange and unusual. The only way I can make sense of it was that my brother left a peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwich in my car that night. After he left, I discovered it and stuck it in my purse with the intention of devouring it later, but never did.
