It's hard to believe but it's been 10 days already since my last measuring day. The fit of my clothes hasn't really changed, so I knew not to expect much of a drop, but I wasn't expecting this. It's disappointing, but the results are in:
September 8th September 19th
Left & Right Wrist 7" 7" 7"
Neck 15" 15 1/2" 15"
Bust 44" 43 1/4" 45"
Waist 40" 40" 40"
Gut 48" 43 1/2" 48 1/2"
Hips 46 1/4" 45 1/2" 46"
Rt ankle 10 1/2" 10 1/2" 10 1/4"
Lft ankle 11" 11" 10 1/2"
I'm not sure what happened at all. It's possible I mis-measured last time. It's also possible that, as my husband suggests, I need to pick the same time of day every day to measure. I took the measurements right after eating, when I was full enough to practically pop which may have affected the size. It's also possible that hormones affect the measurements.
These are taken just a few days after finishing my period. It's also possible that where I am measuring each time is affecting the results. I'll have to develop a more precise method of measuring so that I can be consistent. I have made a decision to measure again in the morning before I eat to see if it makes a difference. That should allow me to eliminate the possibility that a full belly was distorting results.
On a more positive note, I did not have any soda today, and there were at least some decreases in my measurements. It wasn't what I wanted but it's still some change. I'm hoping that being back in Elko where I'll be walking more frequently and up steeper terrain will help to make a more radical difference. We'll see what happens in my next 10 days.
Lesson for today: Don't let discouraging results cause you to quit. Discouraging results aren't a reason to give up. They are a reason to re-evaluate what you are doing and how you are doing it so that you can make any needed improvements and get back on track.
