March 1: Stats Update
I did it...I did my weigh-and-measure this morning. 
I didn't expect drastic changes from four weeks ago - I was sick and also not very disciplined with either my diet or exercise. BUT better to face the music and move forward than to mope around. Losses are in green, stay-the-same is in black, and gains are in red:
Body part - Feb 1 - Mar 1
- Neck - 13.75" - 13.5"
- Chest/armpit - 43" - 43"
- Chest/boobs - 47" - 45.5"
- Ribcage ("waist") - 38.5" - 36.25"
- Belly - 49.75" - 49"
- Hips (butt) - 52.5" - 52.5"
- Thigh - 31.5" - 31.5"
- Calf - 19.25" - 19.25"
- Ankle - 9" - 9"
- Bicep - 16.25" - 16.25"
- Forearm - 11.25" - 11.25"
- Wrist - 6" - 6"
I am a little bit baffled by those bust and waist numbers...I suspect it has at least a little something to do with inconsistency of measuring - that tummy area is kinda jiggly and hard to measure accurately. April measurements will probably shed some light on things. 
But in any case, I am SO thrilled to see that none of the numbers went up - I have developed a pretty thick skin about scale numbers but in exchange, seeing a measuring tape number go up is really depressing. Speaking of scale numbers: Feb 1 weight was 237.8; Mar 1 weight is...237.8.
Lends more credence to the poor-measuring theory, since I don't know how I could've lost over 4 inches, exercised hardly at all, and not lost a single fraction of a pound....? Eh, whatevs. Onward!
