Rant/Good info to know

Urban Dictionary word of the day:

Janky: (adjective) inferior quality; held in low social regard; old and dilapidated; refers almost exclusively to inanimate material objects, not to people.

We tried to pick up on these girls waiting for the bus, but I was driving my sister's janky 1989 geo metro so we just got clowned instead.

I work at a sporting clothing call center/store and a man called in asking if we carry original cargo shorts in a size 58 waist (mind you, these shorts have a 4” inseam, which is measured from the crotch to the end of the shorts). Yes, you read correctly, a size 58 waist. I then proceeded to let him know we are no longer making extended sizes and would only be offering sizes 30-46 even. The customer then said “Well I’m not going to lose weight just so I can fit into your shorts!” My next thought was, why don’t you lose weight for your health? I really don’t understand people in America. When you are a size 58 and feel it is ok, then there is something wrong. Don’t people realize what better quality of life they would have if they just lose the weight? I also just had a fitness test done for one of my classes. One of the women in the class with me weighed only 115lbs, but had a body fat percentage of 39%!!! My only thought was HOLY MOLY! She looked great, very skinny, but knowing she had that high of a body fat percentage was ridiculous. 20-25% is considered healthy for females. Anything above or below if considered unhealthy. So the message I would like to leave everyone with is, it doesn’t matter how much you weigh, or how big your thighs are, it’s your body composition (how much of your weight is fat and how much is lean muscle) that matters!

P.S: it is much healthier to be apple shaped (most of your weight below the waist) than to be pear shaped (most of your weight in your mid section), because abdominal fat will squeeze abdominal organs and fat there also enters the blood stream a lot easier causing a higher risk of heart disease and diabetes. So if you’ve got a booty and hips…rock on!

Funniest Headlines

Now that's just mean

Good information to know!

Hmm...I wonder what they were expecting to find.

If you've seen this man...

Oh great now wheat am I supposed to take?

I say it's their fault for camouflaging it!



This one's not a headline but still funny. I guess this water has none of the calories or regular water but all the taste!

I should be sleeping...

It's almost been a year since the last time I updated my blog. Maybe I should have just waited that year...but then again maybe not. I really don't have the time or want to really explain every detail of my life for the past year, so instead I'll give the watered down version. I work for the absolute worst company in the world west. They are a contracted company for AT&T, what does that mean in laymen terms you might wonder? It means I listen to people complain ALL DAY long about their bill and why their phone doesn't work. But I am definitely grateful to even have a job. I am engaged to be married on June 19, 2010. If you'd like to see the man look over to your right, he's in the picture with me. Below this post you can see a picture of the ring!!! Let's see what else...I'm trying to get back into running so I am currently participating in a half marathon workout I found in fitness magazine. So far, not so good, I think it moves a little too fast for me. I'm on week 3 now and can barely run 2 miles without stopping. I'm really excited because this is the first layout I have made on my own in a loooooong time, and though it didn't turn out exactly how I wanted, it's good enough. Well, that's al for now folks, hopefully it wont take me another year to update. : )
