There is something to be said about *not* weighing yourself every single day. Weight can fluctuate quite a bit from one day to the next. All of that being said, though, I am growing ever so frustrated with my stupid scale.
This morning I was UP FOUR POUNDS from yesterday. I ate well yesterday – yogurt, whole wheat pita pockets, alfalfa sprouts, orange pepper, oatmeal – all good things. I did my fitness evaluation with Denise last night, so I moved around, too. I could scream and throw that thing out the dang window, I will tell you that right now.
Anyway, not focusing on that today…moving forward:
Fitness Evaluation Measurements
Neck – 13.25″ (-.25)
Shoulders – 41.25″ (-.25)
Arms – 15″ & 15″ (-2)
Bust – 44″ (-2)
Waist (natural) – 34″ (same)
Waist (bellybutton) – 37″ (-2.5)
Hips – 47.5 (-2.5)
Thighs – 26.5″ & 26.5″ (-2.5)
Calves – 17.25″ & 17″ (-1.75)
With these recent measurements included, I have lost 101 inches since last year! That is absolutely insane! That is almost 8.5 FEET off of my body! Amazing.
I must admit, though, looking at numbers like that makes it harder to be angry at the scale. Especially when I know I ate well yesterday. I know, with absolute certainty, I did not consume an excess of 14,000 calories to really gain four pounds of fat. I know it. It does still sting, though.
So, for today’s plan of action workout:
Cardio…and more cardio
I will be dedicating one hour of my life to nothing but cardio today. That will likely be a combination of spin and Neil. Although I am really going to try to do one hour on the spin bike. I think the longest I have gone (so far) is about 35 minutes or so…so we will see.
If my entire body were not sore, I would be lifting weights again tonight. The legs are still sore from Tuesday, and my delts and biceps are on fire from pushups last night with Denise.
Do you measure? If so, does that help you cope with any increases you may see on your scale?
