Day 5 of MC, Results of Body Measurements

Date:   2/24/2006 9:23:14 AM ( 18 y ago)

Another day behind me, and I'm glad to say that I won't be reporting my weight today, as I weighed three times yesterday. But it is my day to retake measurements. So, here goes...

Well, maybe later. Seems the kids have found my fabric tape measure, and didn't put it back. Woke them up to find it, and neither have touched it. I guess it grew legs and ran away...

I'm sure it will turn up soon, but I'm really disappointed because it's my first weekly measurements since I took the starting ones. I want to see the results.

I just made my Smooth Move tea and I'm letting it steep a bit. My lemonade is ready, and I feel strong for the day ahead. Today is my strength training day, so I'll be using the Bow-Flex. My shoulders are still really sore, so I'll go easy on the upper body and concentrate mainly on my stomach, butt and thighs.

Another sore spot is my calf. I tore my calf muscle about 5 years ago, and I woke up with charley horse after charley horse last night. Hopefully some scar tissue is being cleaned up....

I'm also not using the correct amount of cayenne pepper (too hot), so I'm going to increase it today. I know I need the nutrients and benefits it adds to the cleanse.

HEY, we found the tape measure (sorry kids) right where it belongs. I looked through the whole drawer three times, but it had slid into an empty ink cartridge box! My daughter found it for me while I was checking her homework.

So, here are the official results of my weekly measurements...


Waist ............... - 1/2"
Above Bust .......... - 1/2"
Below Bust .......... - 1/4"
Full Bust ........... + 1"
Neck ................ - 1/4"
Hips/Belly .......... no change (BOO!!!!)
Thighs .............. - 1/4" each
Knees ............... - 1" each
Calves .............. - 1/4" each
Ankles .............. - 3/8" R and - 1/4" L
Upper Arms .......... - 1/8" each
Lower Arms .......... - 1/2" R and no change left
Wrists .............. - 1/8" each

Not too bad, but the area I was hoping to lose the most was my lower belly/butt. I feel flatter, but the tape says "NO!". And I was surprised to see an inch gain in my bust. Maybe both areas are being affected by my period, and I'll see better results next week?? I can definitely see the areas that I was holding water in (knees and ankles and one wrist), and my knees were bothering me around the time I took my first measurements. Maybe that's why - I was carrying a lot of fluid. So, 10 1/2 lbs down, and about 5" lost (sounds high because I'm using a LOT of measurements), and I'm pleased with my results. Can't wait to see what next week shows!
