How about this bit of news from today’s headlines: Young Men Find “Normal” Women More Attractive. In short, the study found that “normal” sized women were more attractive to young men than underweight women. To quote the article, “The study found that girls with an average weight and build were ranked as being the most attractive and healthy.” I have said it on here before, and in fact replied with a similar comment on Patsy’s blog tonight, I find a curvy woman far more attractive than a size “0″. In fact, most super thin women are a visual turn off to me. Over the years I have decided that what I am seeing is the healthiness of the woman, not the size. I think healthy people are attractive, period. The odd thing about this is that my wife often wishes she was a “stick” (her words). I so hope that never happens. Don’t get me wrong, I will be happy with her either way, but one of the things that originally attracted me to her was her curves.
By the way, today’s exercise rocked! I woke up at 4:30, which is a little late to get the full workout in, but I did walk three miles, I did two sets of push ups, 30 and 60, for a grand total of 90, two 75-second front planks, and one 60-second side plank on each side, and Tabata Squats. Let me tell you something, for the first time in as long as I can remember, I was so weak after the squats that I had to sit down. I thought I couldn’t carry myself. In a weird way it felt great. Does a week off from the intense exercise weaken us/me that much? Tomorrow is just walking pending it is not storming in the morning.
Eating was more of the same. Breakfast and lunch were both good, although I am not sure either were weight loss portions. If so, just barely. Breakfast was two eggs and a big apple with natural PB. Lunch was about 3/4 of my typical lunch time serving of homemade sour kraut and sausages. Mid-afternoon snack was green peppers and serrano peppers. Supper was not weigh loss portions, but it was maintenance portions. I had ham, green beans, and kidney beans. I finished this off with sf chocolate pudding. I have also eaten several roasted chick peas this evening.
I am thinking of doing a Q&A post next week, perhaps Thursday. I am not sure if there is enough interest though. Don’t post your questions yet, but let me know, if I did a Q&A post made up entirely of your questions, do you have a question or questions you would like to ask? If there seems to be enough interest then I will put a call out for questions on Friday.
Last of all for this evening. I want to sincerely thank all of you who have diligently supported me in my quest to be the Good Mood Blogger, but alas there is not enough South Beach Steve fans out there to make it happen. Currently I am more than ten times short of the minimum number of votes needed to make it to stage two. It sounded like a great opportunity, but it apparently wasn’t meant to be. That being said, I’ll continue being a good mood blogger right here (that was never in question anyhow). I do have some changes coming soon though. I am not sure what all of them are yet, but I suspect you will begin to see them transpire by the end of November.

We did have a good time though, and we tightened some relationships, which is always a good thing. Breakfast and lunch were much better meals, but I am not even going to get into them since I blew it on supper.
That is a good thing.
