blog title explained

You now the song "Fifty Nifty United States"? Perhaps I am the only one who grew up singing that...

Anyhow, here I am fifty pounds past skinny. Fifty. Not such a nifty number when its referring to the number of pounds I need to lose. Actually, I was reading Body for Life for Women and in that the author's formula for proper weight is to give yourself five pounds for every inch over 5 feet that you are tall. I am about 5' 3" so according to the author, I should weigh 115 pounds. I have not weighed that since high school. So I am shooting for 130 which is what I weighed before I started having children. I have five kids now and have added on ten extra pounds for each one.

So the blog title...make sense now? It was late. I am not all that clever. Its just what came to mind.

  1. I think it is a great blog title -- I was wondering if it meant you wanted to lose 50 :)
