Measruements Take Two
So here's the deal, the first set of measurements were taken without much thought or planning for the future.
Hence the measurements take two. All measurements are taken at the fattest/widest/biggest section so that there is room to compare as the weeks go by.
Much to my disgjust, here they are:
Left Upper Arm (henceforth LUA) : 34 cm
RUA: 34 cm
Bust: 107 cm
Waist: 95.5cm
Hips/Butt: 120.5cm
Left Thigh (LT) : 72 cm
RT: 69 cm
Yup - you read the LT and RT correct. My measurment taker did it several times as they were a bit perplexed. It would explain why pants always feel tighter on the LT though. I think my LT has always been bigger than the right.
And we've decided to do measurements weekly so there's less time to forget what we did the time before.
:P

New Measurements
Today is a new day. Poopy mood is put behind me.
We're going to do new measurements tonight and we're going to be systematic about it, so that next time we measure we know where to measure (so my thighs don't miraculously go up by 2cm in a fortnight *snigger*)
The boring food bits:
Got the speed wobbles today. I think for now I'm going to have to ban myself from eating anything treatwise when I go to music or mummies groups. They tend to lead to the cascading spiral of doom. I'm aiming to be awesome with the eating for the rest of the week. Watch this space!!!!
The boring exercise bits:
Got the lateral thigh trainer back out today. I haven't been on this thing in over a year now, maybe closer to two years if I'm honest. Man it is hard work. I managed two ten minute stints with about 10 minutes in between. And I have cranked up a sweat. Aiming for three stints tomorrow. I can do it.
The boring mood bits:
Seriously up and down and all over the show today. Serious rollercoaster stuff. I think I'm over analysing some things to much and just need to take a chill pill at times. I sometimes have a tendancy to have too many good ideas - they lead to burn out. So a mini goal for the rest of this week is no new plans, no new projects, no new anything crafty or anything like that. Just take a chill pill on activeness (mental). No more hunting for cool books on bookdepository etc etc. Hopefully that will eliminate some of the buzz going round my head. Overall mood: Average (average is ok though)
Will post the new measurements either tomorrow or the next day (hopefully tomorrow)

Week 2 Day 1
Weigh Day.....
Drum roll please......
Today I weighed in at 85.5 kg. That's a loss of 1.5 kg and a total percentage weight loss of 1.7%. (I hope you were reading that with your Biggest Loser voice)
There's not much happening around here today. I started to work on the vege garden but Baby Chugger woke up and ended that idea. The good news is that some of my seeds have started sprouting (letture and silver beet). I've picked two tomatos and one courgette today too. So that's some good garden progress.
On with the boring bits.
The boring food bits:
Breakfast was a little delayed as I had to feed Baby Chugger just after I woke, Little Chugger needed attention too (breakfast and dressed etc) and then we had someone arrive to do a quote for the roof insulation. I've had my treat today already (a peice of flapjack slice) as it was fast and would keep me going through till breakfast. Breakfast was at 10 - a bit too late for me really. But Weetbix it was, with light blue milk. An apple a little later on. Lunch was a lovely salad with egg, cheese and pumpkin seeds for protein. Yoghurt, banana and nectarine to follow this afternoon. For tea we are having Mexican style mince with rice and salad. I love this meal. Simple but nuticious. I'll do the recipe another time (I can hear baby Chugger calling me.....)
Water: Need to improve on this this afternoon.
The boring exercise bits:
A nice walk in the rain it will be this afternoon, when Manly Man returns from earning the crust.
The boring mood bits:
A great mood today. Hectic life and home and not much on etc but still good. I'm happy with how things are going in most areas of my life today. The house certainly looks lived in as all of our stuff from roof storage is in the lounge and hall. I'm ok with that though as we are making progress. Yay.

Week One, Day Three
If you're smart you'll notice there's no Week One, Day One or Two. (I didn't really think about blogging my journey much until yesterday)
Where am I at today?
Yesterday we did all my measurements (upper arm - left and right, bust, waist, hips, thigh - left and right). I'm planning on taking these measurements every two weeks and taking a photo at the same time (wearing the same clothes each fortnight). If I'm brave I'll post the photos so you can see the progress.
The plan is to only do these measurements two weekly so that I can actually see progress, rather than weekly (where progress might not be noticable)
From yesterday (01/02/2011)
LUA: 36.5 cm
RUA: 36.5 cm
Bust: 111 cm
Waist: 102 cm
Hips: 119 cm
LT: 68 cm
RT: 67.5 cm
Weight: 87 kg
BMI: 34 (eeeek!)
The boring food bits:
So far today I've had the standard breakfast (3 weetbix and light blue top milk). Hungry by 11 so I've had an apple. For lunch I'm planning some sort of take on brown rice salad. We don't have a huge array of veges in the fridge today so it could be "interesting". Somewhere today will be a yoghurt and an orange and maybe a banana - we'll see how hungry I am later. Tea is going to be smoked fish pie; I'm really looking forward to this.
The boring exercise bits:
The weather is quite bad today. Extremely windy (again!) and has been raining. Not sure what it will be like later on but I'm still planning on my walk. Hopefully Manly Man will be home a bit earlier today (he started at 7.30 so I'm hopeful for a 4pm finish) meaning I can walk for a little longer than 30 minutes today. I think I'll walk down to the duck pond and do that loop today. The hill loop is getting a little monotonous.
The boring mood bits:
The weather is quite bad today, lol. I think by the end of tonight I'll feel like a caged animal. Little Chugger will feel that way too. He's scared of wind so going outside to play might not be an option. Thankfully we have lots of train videos and dvds. We're going to plant loads of seeds later so that in a few months we will have a wonderfully productive garden (as opposed to the mediocre one we've got growing now). I picked up a packet of root blast yesterday and I'm really keen to see what effect that might have in the garden. Lounge has been vaccumed and kitchen about to be cleaned. Overall, I'm in a good mood right now and happy with the progress I'm making.
