The winter olympics?\u00a0 I have to admit that I didn’t watch much.\u00a0 Besides life being semi-sorta-completely crazypants lately, I just did not get into it.\u00a0 First of all – I’m SO over winter.\u00a0 Seeing winter sports reminds me of cold and snow and yuck, like it was outside.\u00a0 I do like ice skating but I’m not a huge winter sports fan.\u00a0 That being said – I definitely got interested in a winter olympics link<\/a> that Cat<\/a> sent me.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Yeah, it’s what you think.\u00a0 Just a list of athletes and their stats.\u00a0 But it definitely hit me how different the standards are for athletes and other celebs.\u00a0 For example, Chemmy<\/a> here, at 5’6″ and 154 lbs, would be slandered as a chunky chick if she were an actress or singer.\u00a0 She’s just 1 lb shy of being in the overweight BMI category.\u00a0 Yet, she is rocking the downhill skiing in 5 different events.\u00a0 Yekaterina<\/a> here, at 5’4″ and 154 lbs, is firmly in the overweight category.\u00a0 She is actually technically more overweight than I am (*cough* once I lose the last 2.5 lbs and get back into my maintenance range *cough*).\u00a0 Yet, she is a world class speedskater.<\/p>\n

It’s really eye opening to see that I’m not really that far off.\u00a0 From the height weight ratio at least… I don’t think I’ll be a world class athlete any time soon.\u00a0 While I was able to pick out a few actresses and singers and such out of many many many, it’s really not out of the ordinary for athletes to hang out just at the top of normal or just into the overweight BMI category.\u00a0 Right about where my body has decided to hang out.<\/p>\n

So, I’m not saying that my body fat percentage is the same as theirs – but I’m always going to continue to work on my fitness and improving my diet to include more good stuff and less crap, but the gains now have become very very very small visually.\u00a0 And that’s ok.\u00a0 Especially if the number on the scale going down is no longer a factor.<\/p>\n

…and that’s it.\u00a0 Short and sweet today.\u00a0\u00a0 Do you have the makeup of an athlete?<\/p>\n
