Measurements, Week 2

I'd planned on doing this once a week, so I'm 2 days late with this week's measurements.

waist- 37.25

hips- 39.75

thigh- 22

chest- 39

I can't guarantee how accurate these are- would I really lose .25 inch in a week? That's great if I did, but I am questioning myself.

I'm looking forward to the season of Lent, because I think I'll lose some weight over that time- hubby and I have decided to fast. In the past, we've discussed Lenten fasting but have not done it. We have given up meat for Lent, in addition to fried foods and desserts. I think this will be the hardest yet. BUT, we will be following the Muslim tradition of fasting (one meal, after sundown; beverages whenever), which should make things easier. Also, I don't eat too much during the day as it is. Hopefully, this challenge will help me on my quest to get rid of some of this extra poundage, and will help shrink the size of my stomach once again- I've noticed that the portions I've been eating are larger than they were when I was actively doing ww.

I'll make sure to drink lots of water and supplement with extra vitamins, and my evening meal will be well balanced. I am going to try to stay as healthy as possible throughout this time, and I am excited that hubby and I will be doing it together- moral support!

First Measurement Post

Weeks ago I said that I was going to take my measurements and post them here. I haven't done that yet, but I keep thinking about it. I have been doing better about eating less crap at work, so that helps, I hope. I'll keep coming back here and post updates to my measurements weekly, hoping that this will help keep me accountable- especially because I won't be heading back to WW any time soon.

waist- 37.5

hips- 40

thigh- 22.25

chest- 39

I don't know where my old WW tracker books are, so I don't have a record of what these measurements were when I started my WW journey, or when I got to my goal and eventually achieved Lifetime. I'll have to look for those. In the meantime, let's watch these numbers fall!
