Inch By Inch

I have not been losing the pounds as fast as I want, but I know that I haven't been trying as hard since I hurt my legs. My work outs have amounted to 5K training every three days. I know I should probably run less and do other things like ride my bike or yoga more until my legs are completely healed, but I am stubborn. I have been doing ok with my eating, but the weekends are a struggle. Don't think I am not losing weight at all. I have lost about 5 pounds since the  end of May. I just hoped I would have lost more.
The good news is that I have been losing something...inches. Woo, hoo! I measured myself on May 27 and put it the measurements to the side telling myself that I would wait until at least the end of June to measure myself again. Today, July 3, I decided to check my measurements again. One measurement is such a drastic difference that I am not trusting the first number (I checked the measurement may times this morning). The difference between measurements is:

• around my belly button -1.5 inches
• left thigh same
• right thigh +.25
• left arm -.5
• right arm -.25
• hips -7.5 (this is the one that I don't believe)
• chest -.75
• bust -.75
• neck same
• TOTAL LOSS -3.25 or -10.75 (depending on if you believe the hip measurements)

No matter how you look at it, this is motivation to keep going and try harder.
