Today was an absolutely gorgeous day. It was around 68 degrees. The sun was shining, the birds were singing, and there was a cool breeze.
Normally, the terms “exercise” and “Pamela” don’t co-exist in the same air space. However, I was feeling a bit energetic today for some reason and after a rousing game of Scrabble with my mom (she beat me by six points), I decided to go for a walk around the lake near my house. Yes, me! A walk! Outside even!
This is the same lake that I used to play at as a child. So, as I walked around [ ... ]

I’m a firm believer that the BMI Index is a load of hooey. There are so many factors that go into it that there’s no way a person’s BMI can give an accurate view of a person’s health. A man could be short and really well muscled/toned and be considered obese.
