Calculating the good weight range

Now lets calculate our BMI or body mass index.

Lets say Sandra is 1.60 meters tall and weighs 70 kilos.

1.60 x 1.60 = 2.56

70 ÷ 2.56 = 27.34

Sandra's BMI is 27.34

From the BMI chart given below, you can see that Sandra is overweight.

Normal BMI is between 18.5 and 25.

BMI - CHART
Severely underweight
less than 16.0

Underweight
from 16.0 to 18.5

Normal
from 18.5 to 25

Overweight
from 25 to 30

Obese Class I
from 30 to 35

Obese Class II
from 35 to 40

Obese Class III
over 40

So what is the ideal weight range for Sandra?
18.5 x 2.56 = 47.36 Kg
25 x 2.56 = 64 Kg

The ideal weight range for Sandra is between 47.36 and 64 kilos.

I'm still at work - its been a hard-working day, but a nice one.

I resisted the urge to pick up a cookie or so, and opted for an apple.

The weather here is divine, so I chose to walk to the nearest post-office instead of performing the same transaction online. Unfortunately on the way, there is this turkish pizzeria. The warm air filled with the most delicious aroma enveloped me as I passed by :)

God - let me die and go to heaven...
Or - is THIS heaven - where you can gobble up a whole pizza and never gain an ounce/gram/whatever?
NO - it certainly isn't - this is planet earth calling Mallica!
Aaah babe, let it go, let it go, let it go.

I survived this one. ;)

The Week Begins

Hi everyone,

Today we are going to do 3 things -

1) We will each be calculating the weight range that is good for us, individually.

2) Exercise 2 - when you have the time, pull out an old pair of jeans that do not fit any more. Most of us have these, don't we? They are usually in the back of the cupboard.
Now we take this pair of jeans and place them in FRONT.
Soon - you will be wearing these.

3) Exercise 3 - Note your weight today. You can do this in a simple chart, or a special weight-loss diary or in a digital document. It doesn't matter how.

The New Age

Age is NO excuse for letting yourself go down the drain!

In fact, we women just like wine and whiskey - get better and better with time! ;))))

Remember this -

40 is the new 30.
50 is the new 35.

This is literally true. We simple live longer and better than any other time in human history.

So - your gorgeoous looks can and will turn heads - whatever your age!

A good example is Elizabeth Hurley - now 46 and still looking fabulous.

Lunch and Further

I had a nice workout. On the way home, I went to the supermarket. I had not planned this, but I found a pack of lean fish filet on discount - perfect! The law of attraction does its thing.

I came home and whisked up a lunch - always quick!

First - I heated up a non-stick saucepan and put in exactly one drop of oil. In this I stir-fried my fish, with some salt, pepper and lemon juice.

I skinned and diced one ripe pear and banana. I washed a few grapes. I tossed all 3 in my old blender to make a delicious smoothie! :) I love this drink.

I opened a can of boiled chick-peas and warmed up a small portion. This is not a good idea - its always better to use fresh, but I'm short on time.

I mixed the fish and the chick-peas together in a bowl. This is my lunch! :)
No bread, no rice? No! I will be explaining more about this as we go.

Sunday Morning

Its sunday morning, and I have a load of work to do - yes, professionally speaking. Running your own business sometimes asks a lot out of a person.

Yet I have made a decision that the work can wait a bit. I'm going to the gym! :)

How thin should one be?

Of course this is an area of personal choice, but there are guidelines to calculate the range of ideal weight. This keeps things realistic.

We will discuss this tomorrow.
