What is – Who is B.O.B?

Posted on by

Some people call “it” B.O.B., “Belly Over Belt.” Others call it “Muffin Top.” One thing is for sure — there’s nothing cute or fun about Toxic Belly Fat.
Toxic Belly Fat is a culprit in many of our lifestyle dis-eases including fatigue. It shows up in acid reflux, sleeping disorders including sleep apnea, migraine head-aches, diabetes, stroke and cancer. Do you, or does someone you love, have it?

How to identify Belly Fat Syndrome:

  • 1. Measurements matter. Use a measuring tape to measure the belly in question … If you are a woman with a waistline (measured across the belly button) of more than 35 inches pay attention. If you are a man with a waistline of more than 40 inches – ditto.
  • 2. Do you have one or more of these abnormalities: High blood sugar; High triglycerides; Low HDL; High LDL and/or high blood pressure?
  • 3. You are at HIGH risk of Toxic Belly Fat Syndrome if you have two of more of these abnormalities and a super-sized belly.

Now what?

It’s Fruit & Veggie Day!

Join us for Fruit & Veggie Day!

I really look forward to Mondays these days. It feels GREAT to be taking good care of myself and filling up on the “good stuff.” (Do you know that country song?!) It is also a treat to have a day off from cooking, prepping and cleaning up. I figure this activity gives me at least two hours of FREE time – me time while re-energizing, healing and thrilling my body. What a GREAT way to start the week!

Adding into the practice today … I am taking the day off from T.V. and radio.

Was just reading that “TV viewers are 47 percent less likely to walk 10,000 steps than nonwatchers. And, scientists now know that for every hour of TV you watch, you reduce the number of your steps by 144.” Source: Fit to Live: The 5-Point Plan to be Lean, Strong, and Fearless for Life

With an extra two hours in my day I think I can fit in a little extra walking … hmmm. What else?

What about you?

It’s D-Day. DMV Bingo Day.

Yep. My driver’s license expired on my birthday — 11 days ago.

How? Why?



Easy. I filled out and mailed in the renewal form a month before b-day, now d-day. I didn’t check the boxes on the back of the form. It took almost two weeks to get the application back in the mail, rejected because of those missing checkmarks. By then I had thrown out the paper with the secret “pin code” that would have allowed me to register on-line.

Then, I just gave up.

So today is the day. Right now is that morning.

Oh, and did I mention that somehow my car registration expired in April? The gate guard at Quantico brought that to my husband’s attention this week. Michael suggested that I go ahead and renew both cars while I’m at it … this tip was offered with a sly grin.

So I get to play DMV Bingo, twice.

Disorganization is an ugly thing. If you are a hare-brained person like me – get help. One place is at www.OnLineOrganizing.com.

Well – gotta go. Do you feel like sharing something silly and completely avoidable that you brought down upon yourself recently? I’d feel better if you did.

Viveca

P.S. I will be BACK! And, I’ll post a smoothie recipe and a “greens” recipe for our Monday Fruit and Veggie Day!
