I went back to the tae bo vid today. I did all of the parts, in order. There were only a couple of places that I had to stop. I felt really good about that.
So, I decided it might be a good idea to start keeping track of my measurements. I don't own any kind of scale, and I've heard a lot of bad things about tracking by scale. I know you can track by how well your clothes fit, but I've also had success in the past with measurements. If nothing else, it will help to keep me motivated. I can't find the book I used before, and don't feel like looking for it, so I will be mostly going by memory. I remember measuring my (right) thigh and upper arm, bust, hip and waist. So that's what I'm going to do now.
Thigh: 28 3/4...Hip 48 1/4...Waist 42....Bust 44...Arm 13...That is around the thickest part, except for the waist which was around the thinnest and the arm which I just did the middle. I have my measurements from a couple years ago around here somewhere, I'll have to hunt them down sometime and see what they were.
It's funny how we convince ourselves of what we want to believe. For the longest time I told myself that as long as I went in at the middle I wasn't overweight. It took me absolutely years (and staring at my pants laying out on the bed and a shirt laid flat) to realize that I would probably always go in at the middle, and that didn't mean anything.
