Before After

Ooh skinny!

Well, sort of!

I woke up this morning and thought 'I look thin!'

After I persuaded the men in white coats to leave (they thought I'd finally lost it for good), I changed it to 'thinner'.

So I measured. It's always a tricky process, because the cats think the tape is some kind of exciting snake-like creature put on this earth solely for their enjoyment, so there is always the risk my naked flesh may be flayed from my bones by leaping felines.

I wouldn't mind this...but I couldn't go to the hospital, not with the way I look now. What if the doctor was hot?

I also have to look in the mirror to measure...with no clothes on...in broad daylight...which is scary enough in itself .

After a number of false starts, I managed to get it done...and I have lost another inch from my bust and an inch from my waist.

Bust is now 38.5 and waist is 31.

I know my waist started at at least 38, probably more. So my waist was once as big as around my chest is now. I can't believe that. It is still a novelty that my boobs seem to stick out further than my stomach. Well, on some days anyway .

My bust was at least 43 when I started.

I have lost a tiny bit from my neck, none from my calf but at least it is muscle now rather than corned beef looking fat!

Alrighty, got to go fill in a job application...and sort the cats out. My older cat eats the new cat's food, so he is getting fat. I am working on it at the moment, otherwise he will need his own EP account, and he is not very good at typing.

I also need to make a decision about lunch...brown bread, homemade houmous, tomatoes and spinach...OR CHEESY PASTA?

See you in a bit,

Edited: Just found out my hips are 39 too! I remember them being 42 a long way into my weight loss. All of me is in the 30s for the first time!

I really wish I had taken proper measurements all through this, now.

Thanks!

Thank you for the kind comments lately. This morning, your comment made me get my hiney to the gym.  I was going to wait until after work, but I KNOW how different my workouts are from AM to PM.  I don't lift as much, I'm less focused, etc...  THANKS!  Your kind words motivated me to go!!! 

LOL....that was funny to read about your thoughts while measuring.  Been there, done that!  Can DEFINATELY understand the danger of a cat.  Glad you survived. 

WOW!!  Very impressive loss there!!!  Great job!

I wish you well with you new job possibility!!  That has to be excting!!

Have a great day, and thanks again! 

Woohoo!

Don't you love 'skinny' days??

Those measurements are pure proof that your healthy lifestyle is doing the trick.  How's that PMS?
