Measure Up - Update

[drewan]

Below this LJ cut is my current body measurements, as per my training session on Monday. The numbers are good, though not as dramatic of a change as between the first two measurement dates.

My goal in the next two months is to add five pounds of muscle and see how that feels.

You sure you have a 25" waist?

No, but I have a 35" waist.

Where do you see 25". Am I going blind?

That's the caliper measurement of the skin fold, and it's in millimeters.

I'll update the measurements to be more clear.

Such progress! I thought inches even though I read mm and I was really really impressed for a bit, there, but even still, this is an achievement. It takes real mindfulness and work to change your shape.

K. [in a healthy manner, that is]

Inertia, or lack of inertia, can be a real problem when changing my body.
