Fitness Assessment you say?

If you don't want to feel like shit* about your self,
If you don't want to go home and cry,
If you are relatively happy with your body and want to keep it that way,
If you think you don't look too bad when you look in the mirror,
Do not, DO NOT take one of these evil tests!

Everything on me is "above average" (not in the good way either). Or at least above what I should be given my age, height, gender and such. I have to think though, really, do 50% of girls my age really do that much more activity than me? I didn't think I was that lazy. Well I guess I am.

I have 32% body fat! 32 f***ing percent!! That is awful, getting close to twice as much as I should have (20%) I could only do 15 push ups and 15 sit ups (though the sit ups were more than 0 to 90 degrees, so I don't really count them.) She didn't tell me my blood pressure, but I'm sure it was "above average" too. And when they put me on the bike for five minutes I thought "finally something I can do!" Even my heart rate was "above average."

Well guys, by the looks of it I might just die of unhealthiness before I come home, so sorry if you never get to see me again. I will miss you all. See you in heaven if God doesn't send me to hell for abusing my body that he graciously gave me. Or for that comment.

Seriously though, I knew I wasn't in that great of shape, and the girl was always like "don't worry about it, don't worry about it." But its kind of depressing, how does this make the rest of the world feel? Because to tell you the truth, I wasn't that unhappy with myself before I went in there. I just thought if I could loose a little belly fat, do some toning of the arms and legs that would be great. But no, there is so much more to being healthy. If you ask me, seems like a little too much work! Stupid gym. And I have to go back for a second assessment on Tuesday. Hope I'm still alive by then.

*I really did feel this word was necessary, sorry Mom, but I've heard you say it too!
*** the letters that go in here are uck not reak, also necessary.

Okay, I know I shouldn't be laughing, but I CAN'T HELP IT!!!! :) Becky? Fat? Are you sure they were giving you the right persons results? Actually, it's probably making me laugh more thinking that if I went there, they'd probably just send me right out the door saying oh sorry, we don't help disgustingly obese people. Seriously, they are just trying to make money off you. Really? Find a YMCA ($2 a visit just for the gym), don't eat chips and coke for breakfast everyday, have a rollerblade/walk a few times a week and you are golden. Coming soon to my blog? A BB post. Stay tuned.

Uh, is she someone who is trying to sell you on getting a personal trainer or something? Is SHE a personal trainer?

It all sounds kind of evil.

Yah... that's why I don't keep a scale in my house. I don't need something telling me how I'm doing. I can tell, my clothes can tell, I don't need a vicious number being all obnoxious about it.

And I'm pretty sure you're pretty healthy. Not many people can just pick up and do a bike trip over the summer.

Don't be so hard on yourself, enjoy your beauty : )
