Today was weigh-in day. I also took measurements, which I hadn’t done in 4 weeks. I was pleasantly surprised.
My weight was down 1 pound for the week (a total of 4 pounds in this seven week period). Not stellar, but it is a downward trend. My measurements had moved a bit, though. So far in 7 weeks, I have had the following changes in measurement:
- Scale weight – down 4 pounds
- Chest – down 1/4”
- Waist – down 1/4”
- Abdomen (at naval) – down 1/2”
- Hips (at hip bone) – down 1 1/4” (Yipee!)
- Hips (at fullest part) – down 1/2”
- Thigh – down 1/4”
- Calf – down 1/4”
- Ankle – down 1/4”
- Bicep – down 1/2”
- Forearm – down 1/4”
That goes to show you that pounds on the scale are not THE best gauge for measuring your fitness success.

Today’s Workout: Cardio
I stayed home (instead of going to the gym) and did BFL intervals on my home treadmill. Felt good to follow through on a Saturday workout.
Tomorrow is FREE day… and my favorite Mexican restaurant! Then, on to week 8 of 12!
