#yoga to lose weight

[frownyalfred]

the thing about many comics is that they will list female characters at the VERY edge of underweight for their height (or just straight up underweight) and then list male characters at the edge or well into overweight for their height and blame both on “muscle.”

Dick Grayson at 5 ft 10 and 175 lbs (general canon average) is overweight by BMI. Cassandra Cain at 5’5 and 110 lbs is underweight by BMI. and I’ve seen female characters as tall as 5’9 getting down to 110-115 lbs in canon estimates.

carrying extra muscle rarely means carrying less weight overall. Dick Grayson might be a BMI outlier for having more muscle than the average human (making his slightly overweight BMI arguably healthy) but being underweight and carrying a higher proportion of muscle than the average human rarely benefits women.

time to get real, DC. I want my 5’5+ women ripped and somewhere between 130-150. If they’re carrying more muscle, it just makes sense. if it’s for “agility” then why is Dick Grayson allowed to be overweight by BMI?

The way weight loss obsessives try to use "being healthy" as a shield for eating 800 calories a day and never shutting up about it but refuse to find an exercise habit that they enjoy is just lol

Hi tumblr!

I am going on a 75 day challenge. This is not gonna be 75 day hard, because I just frankly find it unrealistic. I am going to do my own version that will still challenge me, but will also be doable in my every day life :)

Why am I embarking on this journey? There are several reasons:

I want to go to RadTech school. These programs are very vigorous. It will require a lot of discipline from me to even get into such a program, but to also get through it. The program will be equivalent to maybe working two part time jobs when you include clinicals, lectures, labs, and studying. On TOP of that, I'll actually have to work. Part time should be enough to cover my expenses, thankfully, but I will have to work while in school. I acknowledge that I am not a very disciplined individual. THAT is why I want to do a version of this challenge, because I heard this challenge was about discipline. I believe it's a skill I can work on, thankfully, but I do NEED to work on my discipline. That's point one.

Point two is that, I feel very bored with my every day life. I crave something new. Trying new foods, new workouts, blogging, etc will hopefully give me a bit of what I crave.

I feel very unsatisfied with myself. I don't like how I look. I don't like how unorganized and undisciplined I am. I'm bad with managing my time, I'm not good at prioritizing what needs to be done. Now, I know I can be good at these things. I have shown that. When I was in school taking my prereqs, specifically before I got burnt out, I was the most beast I have ever seen myself in college. I was working on my classes nonstop (that's why I burnt out lol). Even then, I know I could have done better still, but I am very proud of myself looking back :) I just wish I had been able to take a break between sessions or taken better care of my mental health-anyway not the point lol

I've tried this challenge a few times before, and was not able to complete it. I would fail about half way through. This is why I want to do this challenge. How can I commit to a 2 year program, when I can't even commit to 75 days? This is really what I want for my future. It will be tough, so I have to make myself tougher.

It starts today :)

Weekly Weight (and Fitness)Update ✍🏼

And Reflecting on My Reasons

It’s Weigh-in Friday and time for my Weekly Weight Update!

I maintained my weight this week. I had several days of over-indulgence and that’s totally fine, as long as it doesn’t become a constant variable while I’m trying to lose weight.

I did really well in my Pilates class, and I’m very pleased with that!

As for Yoga, I still find it more challenging than I’d like to admit, considering that this is the third year I take part in this challenge and it used to be relatively easy for me.

My reasons to lose weight and gain flexibility, strength and endurance:

Doing my Yoga poses and flows more comfortably and fluidly and being able to do more challenging poses again. Even though you can’t target weight loss, I know that an overall weight loss will result in a loss of visceral fat, and that’s one of the things that I need the most.

It may be different for other people, but I do feel more uncomfortable doing certain yoga poses with more abdominal fat as opposed to when my stomach was flatter and fitter. My current weight does impact my practice negatively.

I can’t wait to go for long summer walks in nature with my boyfriend (and sometimes the doggie and my bf’s mum!). I want to be able to enjoy nature and good company without being out of breath and miserable all the time.

Visceral fat is also metabolically active and it can have averse effects in one’s health.

The other reasons that I’m not afraid to admit to anymore, is that I simply feel way more comfortable and confident in my body when I’m fitter. I feel like I can do so much more fitness wise, I like how my clothes fit more and I think I deserve to be in a body that is healthy and in which I feel comfortable.

So wearing a nice dress for my birthday next summer and a lovely red form-fitting dress for next Christmas are certainly things that motivate me a great deal to keep moving in the right direction in my weight loss and fitness journey.

Final Weekly Thoughts

Overall, looking back at the past week and reflecting on my reasons definitely help me to keep on making the choices that I know get me closer to my goals every day. Even if I’m not “perfect” every day.

[cutieacefuck]

anyone got any tips, videos, or routines for like, getting back in shape? I sit a lot for my job and since graduating college a few years back have neglected any kinds of exercise and get winded from even slightly strenuous activity. I wanna get back into being active and have been trying some beginner yoga, is there anything that yall do at home to help? This isn't a lose weight kind of question either, im actually very underweight, so if there's also routines for gaining weight/muscle thatd be cool too <3
