Measurements shhhhhhmmmm-easurements
Okay so I found my measurements from 2006. Back in the summer of '06 I did WW and I joined this women's circuit training gym and stuck w/ it all summer long. I only lost like 5 lbs but I lost inches and felt slimmer and felt confident. So I thought I'd compare those #'s to my today's #'s.
2006 today 8-6-09
bust 45.5 46
abdomen 42.5 39.5
waist 45.25 45
hips 52.5 51
r thigh 30.5 30.5
l thigh 31.5 31
r calf 18 15
l calf 17.5 15
r arm 13.5 15
l arm 13.5 15
weight 241 262
Isn't this so weird?? I'm 21 lbs bigger than I was there and the only thing to show for it is fatter arms?? haha! I know I am not carrying around bowling balls for arms. It's weird. The only thing I can think of (w/ amy's help) is maybe I build muscle mass SUPER FAST and when i started doing all the walking right after surgery, somehow it happened. Just so weird. I guess next time I go to the Md I can look at his print out that shows my muscle weight compared to fat weight.
So seeing those numbers for myself back in 2006 plain as day, it has made me realize something. This is the smallest I've been since 2004 when I had my first kid. So I am still about 21 lbs from that weight goal, and then 221 is my Pre-baby weight w/ #1. It has just dawned on me that this may be slow, but it's all good. It's happening. Even if my body is stalling right now...we will get through this. Oh and (possible TMI) I have been one of those fat people who despises fat people. Not like you guys but like, I just repulse myself. So since my ex and I split in '07 I promised myself I wouldn't sleep w/ someone and/or be in a relationship until I felt confident w/ my body. I was tired of carrying "body issues" and low self esteem into a relationship. I wanted to be the best ME I could be for my FUTURe MR. Perfect!!! So I've been 2 solid years alone now and I'm just that... alone and lonely. I just realized that this is the size I was the last time I had sex, haha. So if I could lose an additional 20 or so I could be ready to throw down. I could feel alot more confident about what jiggley-ness is going on when we rock da boat!!! Oh and I do have lower tummy sag due to the 80 lbs I put on w/ my 2nd kid, and I'm considering getting body wraps to see if it will tone it up.
Oh so why I'm here a little update... PRINCE CHARMING IS A GEMINI!!! I finally found out today. According to the zodiac my perfect mates are either Gemini or a Libra. I've dated a Libra who I fit perfectly w/ and my BFf is a gemini so I know I do do well w/ those 2 signs. So now I know he's a good match...po-tentially...but how old is he??? Hmmmm. Maybe I will ask tomorrow if he comes in for OT. I don't think that matters. I know Amy's man is older (and suppppppper skinny BTW, haha) but I don't know anyone in a relationship w/ someone older. i don't know how it works, if it's difficult, if people talk shit, I dunno. but all I k now if he is fineeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! And he flirts w/ me every day, all the time, it's so frustrating he won't just ask me out.

LOL you crack me up with the Prince Charming stuff! HE STILL HASNT ASKED YOU OUT! hmmmm atleast hes doing some flirting.
ReplyDeleteIf I were in the dating circles again, I think I would go a little older--they seem to cherish younger women more. I'm not talking Hugh Hefner range but a little older. :) Saying that, I have a WONDERFUL guy who I intend to be with forever! I don't want anyone to get the wrong idea about my hypothetical there. :)
ReplyDeleteOh, not older than Hugh--I meant a little older than my significant other (he is two months older than me). Hahahaha!!! :)
