My Chronic Life

Every once in a while I watch Celebrity Fit Club. This show really aggravates me because I just can’t imagine people losing that much weight in that short of time and doing these really difficult fitness routines but still having the energy to go out to bars, have parties, get drunk, stay up at night talking and acting like fools. But, that’s just my opinion.

I guess being on television, having an ex-Marine (oops I don’t think there are ex-Marines!) yell at you like you’re in boot camp, having to show your before and after body shots and weigh in may play a bit of a factor in their desire to lose weight.

I remember on one of the shows the old American Idol host, Brian Dunkleman saying at weigh in that he though he had gained weight because of muscle growth. I thought now this guy is smart! I can use that excuse the next time I go to the doctor and my weight is up instead of down.

Seriously, I’ve been told so many times about yoga that I’m going to give it a try. Since my foot and knee problems have now put an end to my walking, I have to do something to keep active. I have to try to lose some weight. And since there’s no Non-Celebrity Multiple Chronic Illness Fit Club, I’ll be doing it on my own, thank you very much!
