I Want Me Some Megan Fox Bod! :)

WARNING: if you're sensitive about talking about weight, or listening/reading about girls with insecurity issues, DO NOT READ. :)

...

I was alarmed upon noticing how anomalously thin my legs were getting. So I weighed myself, did a little research, and according to this website, at BMI 17kg/m*m, I'm at least 8lbs underweight.

So i did more research, until I stumbled upon this trivial yet very interesting (at least for me hehe) little info... I found out I have the same weight and height as...

...wait for it....

Name: Megan Denise Fox
Birthdate: May 16, 1986
Birthplace: Rockwood, Tennessee
Nickname: Mega Fox
Height: 5'6"
Measurements: 34C-26-24

Megan Fox-no less!!!! haha! (I was just ogling at her pictures wondering how come she's so hot and I'm not, before I found out we have the same BMI. Imagine my surprise and disbelief! haha)

Just to clear things, sharing the same BMI in no way means we also share the same measurements. (How I wish!!!) BMI is short for Body Mass Index which measures the ratio of your weight relative to your height. Of course people of different height have different normal weights.

But still, how come she looks smokin hot and I look like skin and bones??!?! Or are my fats just in all the wrong places?? Genes definitely play a big factor, and surgery probably plays a big role too. lol But still, as invalid a motivator as it sounds, I have something in common with Megan Fox! haha! And that somehow made me feel a little less beyond help. Like I suddenly want to jog and do squats and situps. ;)

I miss my fitness trainer/Hans. He's always been very.. uhhmmm... encouraging (a little pushy sometimes? haha) when it comes to my exercise habits, or lack thereof. hehe. If he was here, he'd definitely milk this newfound inspiration of mine to harangue me into exercising!

Anyway, I gave it some thought, and despite having essentially the same body mass index as the hot Ms. Megan Fox, I still think I need to gain a little weight, and maybe build some muscles while I'm at it.

And to show my dedication to this little project of mine, I'm gonna post my weight every week on my status till I reach my ideal weight of 125lbs. :) I'm at 109lbs now, I still haven't decided on a reasonable time frame for a 16-pound weight gain. My initial research says 1-2lbs weight gain per week is the safest. So for now let's just set it at 8 weeks. It's a long time, I know. I'll just make adjustments after seeing how much I can gain in the first week.

I'll also try and post workout routines and little tid bits of helpful tips and whatnots that I find for this project along the way. :)

Here's another hot picture of Megan Fox to inspire us all! :)

My Two Cents Worth: Stuck in a Rut?

If you too feel like you've been stuck in a rut for too long and you just want to somehow escape the curse, try writing a blog about it. :) And when you write, try not to whine or complain. I know It's very easy to get sucked into that. I did that a lot too. At one point it can be quite an effective way to vent out all your frustrations and disappointments. But be careful. Because when you get too used to it, like I did, you wouldn't even notice it but you'll start feeling a false sense of contentment just complaining and ranting about things. It's not productive at all.

So when you do write a blog about something that frustrates or disappoints you, instead of rambling, try writing a plan instead. Write a plan on how you will deal with the problem. :) Write something realistic and reasonable, something attainable. And then do it! :) I'm sure if you are able to come up with a very feasible and well-thought plan, you'd be more than excited to execute it. And there's no better source of motivation than yourself. :)

And when you've carried out your plan, whether you've succeeded or not, write about it too. Sharing your success and failures through writing gives you an opportunity to analyze situations in ways you wouldn't normally do when you're just winging it. :) Besides, whatever the outcome is, at the end of the day it's always fun reading your own blogs anyway.
