Looking for My Waist... and my sanity

by Andrea Hermitt | More from this Blogger

Three things happened this week to get me off track:

A sprained ankle: I have these chunky clog-ish shoes that I sprained my ankle while wearing. I keep re-spraining it. It is quite painful really, but I have been wearing boots and shoes that support my ankle and pushing through the pain... but I cannot move as I want to.

In laws visiting (actually relocating locally): My in-laws have been here finalizing the details on their dream home, which are a few miles from our house. They are retiring and leaving New York. This week I lost some of my resolve not to eat naughty foods, and my sanity too, just from all the activity. (Loss of sanity leads to chocolate intake). I let them know that I would gladly visit them on the weekends once they are moved in and indulge in their goodies, (once they are moved in) but that meant I would have to eat rabbit food at home all week.

A broken scale: I thought the battery was dead, but purchased a new one and got nothing. My digital scale is broken. I need a new scale, but until then, the old-fashioned one with the dial in it will have to do for now. I gained 2 pounds, as far as I can tell using the old scale.

Here are my stats this week (inches)

247 lbs? bust 47, waist 43.5, hips 51, Thighs 44.5, single arm 14.75

Compared to last week, my inches lost and gained, were in the right spots

Here are my original stats:

Dec 20, 2006: 250 lbs bust: 50, waist: 46, hips: 53, Thighs: 47, single arm: 15

My plan for this week: do what I said I was going to do last week. Work of getting my ankle strong, and at least do stretching exercises.
