The Griffis family is moving… and one of the upsides to our new apartment is that it comes with a gym. I haven’t had much time for the gym lately (shame on me) and to conserve some cash my wife cancelled our YMCA membership 5 months ago. So I have done a little running but for the most part have done little to no exercise in the past 9 months.   I love to exercise and when I am in routine (every day) I am dedicated but when I am not in a routine I won’t do anything. So I noticed some added pounds joining my mid section in the last couple of months and have been trying to motivate my appetite for exercise instead of food.  I was thinking how great it would be to have 24 hr access to a gym so that I can use my crazy sleep habits to my advantage, but then I came across this article. Apparently I have 46lbs between me and obesity so what’s the rush. This scale must have slid quite a ways recently because I remember a much smaller number for my 5’9” frame. I wonder what the percentages on the map would be if we were working off the old scale. 

Never mind I went here and found out that I am only 13lbs from overweight so I am re-motivated. New apartment gym and racquetball court here I come…

I know BMI isn’t the most efficient way to analyze your health because a whole lot of professional athletes are considered overweight because of their muscle mass. But for me muscle mass isn’t the issue so now I just need to figure out which 30 - 45 minutes I need to dedicate.
