Weighed myself for the first time in a while today. For my height, 142 is considered underweight by the body-mass index. Staying this small is dangerous, and it's something I've wanted to change for a long time. I've also not been working out, mainly due to lack of discipline, partially due to getting out of the habit when we were down to one car.
My ideal weight? I'd love to be up to 180. To do that is going to require a lot more caloric intake than I'm currently getting, though. So, working out and eating more (healthy) calories are going to be part of my regimen. Also, there's the matter of getting sleep. I'm currently getting between 6-8 hours of sleep a night, usually closer to 6 than 8. Muscles need sleep to build, so that's something else on my list.
Also, I'd like to get in the habit of flossing daily, instead of occasionally.
Those are my personal body observations. As recommended by pretty much everybody, though, there's going to be a doctor visit in the next month before I make any drastic changes to my diet or activity level. Gotta stay safe!
