You are truly one of the biggest role models in this guild. I'll admit I've fallen off the bandwagon and after Christmas I'm hopping right back on.

But I've decided that I'd rather be healthy than skinny so I'd like to track my weight less and track my measurements more. When I was younger, at 140lb I'd get compliments on being skinny all the time so I'm guessing I have a bigger bone structure? Anyway, I was wondering if you could give me advice on how to take measurements and how to figure out what my ideal measurements would be. 3nodding

I'm not so sure what to tell you on what your exact measurements should be.

Here's a photo of how to measure yourself:http://p12.hostingprod.com/@bridesmaidsbyjump.com/ystore/images/measurement-chart-1.jpg

Chest: Measure around the largest part of your chest.

Biceps: Measure midway between the top of your shoulder and elbow.

Waist: Measure at the narrowest point, approximately one inch above your belly button. No cheating! Don't pull in your belly or stick it out.

Hips: Measure your hips around the largest part of your buttocks with your heels together.

Thigh: Thighs are measured separately. Stand with your legs slightly apart. Measure your upper leg where the circumference is largest.

When measuring, pull the tape just tight enough to keep it from sagging.


I wouldn't recommend measuring more than once or twice a month because unless you're doing weight lifting as well, you really wont see any change that fast.

you know i was prepaired to step on the scale and see it say 195 or 196 but someone was smiling on my fat and it said 193.6 ^_^

Hence why i love having muscles. Before I started lifting weights, this week I would have gained 2-5 lbs easy. Yay for muscles burning more calories than fat.

exercise -- 30 minutes on the elliptical machine (warm up and down) then full body weight lifting. i'm sore!!!

bkfst -- woke up late

lunch -- cereal w/ milk

dinner


off to the gym after this tv show ends. ^_^

dinner - brisket in a sandwich. nothing special.

gonk I've gained 1.6lbs though luckily I have till friday to loose it. (i decided to switch to fridays so i have time to kill what my parents do on the weekends)

It's not that much of a surprise:

Wednesday we had a going away party in my photography class with pizza, jerky, chips, soda, and cupcakes

thursday in brit lit we had over 4 cakes, jerked chicken, chicken nuggets, empinadas, chocolate covered strawberries, oh god i can't even remember all the food.

A friend just got back from england on friday and we partied... though he didn't show, we all had the munchies and pretty much pigged out friday.

Then saturday we got drunk. I drank half a bottle of wine and two beers, plus a bunch of chips and dip.

Last night wasn't that bad...just mild snacking.
