Ok so i'm busting out the measuring tape and doing all the measurements today. I'll be doing this once a month.
Height: 5'7"
Weight: 155lbs
Bust: 37"
Chest: 30.5"
Waist: 35"
Hips: 40"
Midway: 39"
Thigh: 24"
Knee: 16.5"
Calves: 14"
Upper arm: 12"
Forearm: 9"
some of these measurements seem stupid to take but what i've read they're the best to take to keep track. so now it's off to work out!

Brandon's birthday party
we had a wonderful day today. we spent 4 hours at bonkers while the kids played. I've weighed myself but still haven't measured myself. maybe I'll get that done tomorrow since it's going to be freezing and we're not really wanting to leave the house. I'm extremely lucky and blessed to have found my husband. He's so extremely encouraging and thoughtful. I know i wouldn't have the drive i have in getting healthy if it wasn't for his positive attitude and support. He's such a constant source of positive attitude. I love him with all my heart, being and soul. I'm blessed to have a best friend, partner and lover that's an equal on all levels. We have such fun together. it's very late but i wanted to put something on here for today, but I'm headed to be bed now.

a quest
my quest right now is to get into shape. i'm not looking to be super skinny again or anything like that. i just want the flab gone and everything nice and toned. I will keep track of my weight and measurements because i'm interested in that for the sake of being interested in it. not because i actually have a goal of a weight or going for or a certain size. i just want to be happy with the way i look and feel and at the moment the gut over the top of my jeans doesn't exactly make me think "damn i look good" :-)
i quit smoking 16 months ago. it's one of the best things i could have done for my health since my dad's parents both died from lung cancer. And after watching my Granny die slowly from it i never want to go that way. So the next thing i can do for my health is get rid of the extra weight that i'm carrying around because at the moment all my blood and body chemistry is where it should be but who knows in a few years of packing on pounds how that will be.
i started saturday 1/23/10 working out with my elliptical and doing situps and calf raises and such. I'm not striving at this time to really lose any weight because my body is so out of shape just working out for 10min on the elliptial has me saying ouch. so my goal at the moment is to just get my body used to working again. using the muscles i've really not ever used because lets face it, i have never worked out in my whole life. i've never needed to!
so sometime tomorrow i'll bust out the measuring tape and scales and see what it's got to say and i'll try to keep up with this blog as well.
peace!
