PANMA Event: Other Spaces: Virtual World Options Beyond Second Life

Second Life has had the buzz, both positive and negative, among virtual worlds for the better part of the past five years. More and more options are starting to present themselves as viable alternatives, especially open source options. Many local academic and business entities have tried Second Life to varying degrees of success, and are [...]

Weight and Fitness Check

I’ve started weighing myself daily, more out of curiosity than obsessiveness, to see what my actual weight range is over the course of a week. My average on the high side is 165, while my low is 163. I seem to be skipping over 164 altogether. Its just fascinating to me, I’ve noticed my weight stays around the high for a few weeks then drops to the lower weight and stays there for a few weeks and so on and so forth.

Mixed Messages

I’ve been meaning to write about this for awhile…. On July 11, 2009 in Philadelphia, a celebration took place cleverly called a “Flesh Mob for Fat Liberation” to promote fat acceptance to celebrate persons who are overweight or obese. At least the event promoted some physical activity i.e. running up the art museum steps ala Rocky and a post-BBQ dance party. I have to say at the very least I am conflicted about how I feel about celebrating being fat and/or obese. I agree with the basic mission of the event and that yes, fat people are people too, who deserve to be loved, accepted and whatnot. I would never advocate body dysmorphia and do think that we should accept our bodies and more importantly who we are as individuals.

Maintaining the Balance

I managed to drop two pounds this week. I had been hovering in around 167 for awhile and then was steady at 166 all week, then dropped to 165. I find it kind of funny since I am on the Weight Watcher’s maintenance plan that when I lose weight, I get these funny little messages [...]

Health & Fitness Blog Feed

I’ve been chronicling my health and fitness journey since January 2009 in random places mostly in Livejournal and Facebook and decided to compile all the information here on my blog since both Facebook and Livejournal require login/password and friending in order to access the information I have posted on my journey. I have to say, [...]

Jennifer’s Blog Feeds

I write on many topics some that overlap each other and others that are completely different. Rather than starting a blog for each, I have created separate feed categories for each topic category, so you can follow my social media postings without having to read about health and fitness. I may add or change feeds [...]

Health & Fitness: Updates

Since I last posted, I am holding steady around 166-167, which is fantastic considering that I have been overindulging a bit, though to be fair, my idea of overindulging has drastically changed. My worst day I rounded out at about 40 points on the Weight Watcher’s method versus my normal 26. Granted, I have an [...]
