Making Weight
Otter cheats. I’m serious, she really cheats. She has this freak metabolism which actually causes her to lose weight when she does nothing but lay around the house watching Golden Girls and snacking. Me on the other hand, if I even think about taking a day or two off from working out or, $diety-forbid, have some Mint-Chocolate Chip ice cream for dessert I can watch the love handles grow. Like I said, she cheats.
Over the last three months I have managed to lose and keep off about 12 pounds. This is great except I really need and want to lose about five more to get a good BMI. BMI stands for Body Mass Index, and it’s calculated by your mass divided by your height squared (follow the link for the exact formulas). The Air Force decided to use it as one of their ever shifting metrics to track fitness, and my body’s prefferred wieght is about 13 pounds over what would give me a 24.9 (i.e. “fit”) result. Given I was a little heavy (“Damn, that’s a huge bitch!”) before hand, that means I really need to lose 5 more pounds to be happy and get max points for that portion of the test.
It kind of sucks to be me, because the way the genetics run in my family I should really be about an inch to two inches taller than I actually am. In which case I would not have this issue and it’d be a lot easier to maintain the weight that I want. Instead, I get to eat the crappy tasting healthy stuff and work my ass off. I should be a boxer or jockey I spend so much time trying to make weight. 
So, lose five pounds. That part is going to be relatively easy. The hard part is going to be keeping it off for a year…
i would like to lose a bit more than that man!! being that i am the tallest in the family (yes taller then Dad too) i would say that i would be happy but right now i think i am quite over, once back in the states i am going to start working on this bullsh!t that everyone one in the family has trouble with… other than that LilBro guy, i don’t think he is related to us!
