My little Log to remind me and start me out... I will have this set as my home page when opening browser! About me My name, mostly known on my cosplaying and Battletag for blizzard games and others who know me in the gaming world, is Ashta. I am in my early 20's and married with no kids... well if you count a monster cat(Ezio) and a hyper dog(Sno) as kids. I use to be a dietary aid at the hospital and focused on Diabetic and Gluten Free Diets to help patients, as will as simple diets... however, dieting on my own self and my husband hasn't been going on very well. I was, and still feel rather active in the Cosplaying community. A bit on the sidelines as of resent because I lost interest in my own self. There is so many things I want to make, but I lost interest in myself when I went up a clothing size or two. It sounds horrible that I lost interest in my own self even with the reassurance of husband and friends. While I have the Motivation to game, to create things, and to bake... I lose all motivation to do anything for me in efforts to lose weight and fat around my stomach(I still have baby fat!), thighs, and just overall. Key Health Points (To work on or around) While I know I am not in the best of shape, even when I was working my way to be in the military, I've always had issues with a lot of Cardo work. It wasn't my muscles or the way I carried myself. It was my lungs that have always gotten in the way. I do not have asthma, but something that is causing the membrane between my lungs and ribs to become inflamed and tighten/swollen. Not Hyrdrated enough. I have a knack of not drinking enough juice and water. Only eatting one big meal and snacks (Not so healthy snacks) through out the day. Snacking while cooking/baking. Current Information Height: 5'1" Weight: 130 (give or take a pound or two) BMI: 24.6 I am on the higher end of a "Normal" BMI. Normal being 18.5—24.9. I use to be at 20.8 (5'1" at 110lbs) Current Project(s) Working on waist training with an Steel-boned Underbust Corset to reduce my waist from 30" to 25". Waist Training is also helping my "Gamer Slouch"... in other words my bad posture. Help Requested Questioning about diet. (Even though I was a dietary aid... that was a few years ago and now all this stuff goes over my head). Questioning about workout. At least 3-4 times? Plan Hopefully molded around our life style. (To be edited when I come up with one...) One thing I found, and would love to do during the evenings, or even in the morning before it gets very hot (It's Summer time in Southren Louisiana!) A Hobbit's Guide to Walking (Thank You to Anyalynn's post) Along with working a bit on the one of the Video Work outs that caught my husbands attention The Konami Code Workout. Insperation Healthier livelihood. Better Costume Bodies Healthier self (Selves) Better Motivation
