skinny fat


Thinner is not necessarily fitter. This was a new concept for my back in the late 80s, when I started using The Firm. I was thin but flabby and weak. I got that way by reducing calories and not exercising. I worked hard to change it back then. OK, so how come since I knew this did I let myself get to this point again?

With the miracle of greens, I'm again thin. However, just eating right won't build muscle. Therefore I'm weak and flabby again, too. I guess the greens have allowed me to recover my health enough to consider gaining new strength.

I've re-discovered my old favorite exercise videos and long refreshing walks. It's so strange to feel good waving little bits of metal or pounding pavement, but I do. Audrey Hepburn didn't get her figure by starving herself either. She danced and ate very well. And doesn't she have lovely posture? So there you have it. As my grandma says, "Use it or lose it."

  1. Interesting...I was just reading about Audrey Hepburn last night. I think I might see if I can find her autobiography at the library. I put some quotes of hers on my blog last night, in the side bar. You might want to check them out! She really seemed to have a good head on her...except for men. (Affairs with married men and living out of wedlock...)

  2. No, I don't think she was a good moral role-model either.

  3. Have you tried skin brushing? That really helps tighten up the loose skin...

Reading the scriptures and keeping this journal are my delight. I do not keep an online journal to preach to anyone but myself. I like this format, because I can add pictures and correct my writing easier. If you enjoy reading it, I am happy. If you feel offended, please, realize it is not my intention to offend but to teach myself. No negative comments will not be published.
