A friend wrote a rant in her LJ and it helped me finally go on my rant about people using their fatness/laziness as an excuse and I ended up writing what is below in her LJ. I probably could go on a longer rant about this subject but, really? It is easily summed up in a few words anyway.
get off your ass and stop blaming others.
For starters, the amount of electronic scooters that are provided at grocery stores (since I work at one, obviously this is one of my main issues). When I see people with crutches or are elderly and withered, I understand but when it is because they are too fat to walk around safely or because they have back/knee/health problems because of the fatness, I get pissed. Get OFF your fucking ASS and walk around. Every little bit counts. Yes, you will not be able to breathe very well and it is difficult but fuck. Do not just give up on yourself and claim ‘obesity’ as a disability. Of course I understand that compulsive-over-eating is an eating disorder but just like any addiction, drugs, alcohol, not eating, etc, you have to mentally work on the reasons Continue Reading

Washington is doing its typical spring time weather teasing again. Nice and sunny with no clouds in the sky for two days, pouring down rain, windy and stormy for a few more. Rinse and repeat. Just now as I type this up the sun is coming out from the dark gray clouds that splattered rain against the windows. Seriously? Make up your fucking mind! I do love when it is raining as the sun is shining brightly against your face. The colours that gleam in the rain drops as they hit my eyelashes is so gorgeous. It is almost (not even close) to witnessing the Aurora Borealis. Pictures do no justice to how the world feels surrounding you in those moments. There is no crackling with sunny rain droplets though.
Makes me want to stand in the middle of our compound to do pirouettes and arabesques.

A few months ago I realised how far the progress on my shoulder/neck rehabilitation has gone by just working in the deli. The chubs of meat and blocks of cheese typically weigh between 5-15lbs. When I first started working in June, I was only able to carry one at a time with both hands. Now I can carry one or two in each hand. People have noticed that my arms look smaller as with my legs. Good, now I just need to work on my stomach. One of the most difficult parts to exercise with out causing stress on my neck/shoulders and back. I do not want to over exert any of those and have my progress be thrown backward again.
I have thought about taking up swimming. I use to swim all the time in Alaska in our lake. Now I will not set foot in cold water because of the 15+ years of that but I still enjoy swimming. I have been postponing it for years now because of my hair and the chlorine murdering my beautiful gorgeous healthy hair. It is long enough that I feel trying to put a swim cap on will be more of a Continue Reading
