I have attended numerous kid's parties in the last 3 and a half years, and am starting to put together the obesity epidemic, and why we as adults are so fat, and why our children's waists are expanding as well. We teach them young that a celebration is cause for indulgence. We allow ourselves to let all our "rules" fall by the wayside, because we are "celebrating" something. I skipped my workout last night to bring my daughter to one of these parties. I allowed myself 2 slices of pizza, finished the 2 chicken strips that she left on her plate (because I couldn't bear the waste, not keeping in mind my own waist), and a slice of birthday cake. I stopped just short of indulging in the candy. Why did I do this you ask? Because it was a party, and that's what we expect celebrations are for, indulgence.
I was doing so well this week, keeping on track with my diet and exercise. And I let one night almost ruin what I've accomplished so far. All is not lost though. I took my measurements this morning, and have still managed to lose the quota of 4 inches this week. Though I can almost guess the pizza in my gut has it expanded at least an extra half an inch. Measurements for the week are as follows:
Bust- 53 inches (down an inch)
Waist- 48.5 inches (down half an inch)
Hips- 60 inches (same)
Upper arm- 18 inches (down an inch)
Forearm- 13 inches (same)
Wrist- 7 inches (same)
Upper thigh- 29.5 inches (down an inch and a half)
Lower thigh- 24 inches (same)
Calf- 20.5 inches (down half an inch)
Ankle- 10.5 inches (down half an inch)
Total- 284
Total loss so far: 5 inches
