My hope and intention as I begin this blog is to give a thoughtful, considered response to world events, deep discussions and personal circumstances. I hope it will be encouraging, challenging, informative and edifying to those that read it. I by no means intend to be a self-proclaimed expert, but I do want to share my thoughts in the global marketplace of ideas.

Overweight?
So, I weighed myself on the scales at the YMCA after my workout tonight. I then plugged that number and my height into a BMI calculator on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website and discovered that I am overweight. Unbelievable. I must be the scrawniest overweight person in America.

Didn't you know that BMI is a load of BS? While a low BMI generally means you are under weight, a high BMI either means you are in good shape (because muscle weighs more than fat) or too fat.
Dont worry about it. It must be one of those big, beefy arms weighin ya down.
How could you possibly be overweight? Seriously, the BMI numbers are good tools, but that's about it, beyond it, they don't mean anything.
