Not Stellar, But I'll Take It

So tonight was measurements. I was a little anxious about them. I knew I had lost inches. I knew I had lost pounds. What I did not count on, was the treadmill fall, subsequent surgery and the gaining of five pounds since Thursday. I'll be honest...that bummed me out seriously. I had to call my accountability partner so that I did not do something stupid. I felt like I let myself down.
Danny thinks the weight gain was from (a) lack of cardio for nearly two weeks; (b) lack of movement for the past four days; (c) IV from hospital and such. So, without further ado, here are the pictures:

Although I gained five pounds this week, I am still down 69. I can't be upset about the weight gain because I have been limited in what I can do. I will overcome this speed bump. One step at a time. The measurements came in and I was down another 11.5 inches as follows:

	April 17, 2013	June 3, 2013	July 1, 2013
Neck:	16	15.5	15.5
Chest:	52.5	51.0	50.5
Waist:	56	54	51.5
Hips:	75	73	71
Left Thigh:	39.5	37	36.5
Right Thigh:	36.5	35.5	34
Left Calf:	26	26	None due to surgery
Right Calf:	28.5	26	None due to surgery
Left Bicep:	21.5	21	18.5
Right Bicep:	20.5	19.5	17.5
Shoulders:	56.5	53	51

I did have some major accomplishment moments this weekend. For example, for the first time in my life, I could weigh at the doctor's office, I could use the regular blood pressure cuff where it was supposed to be used, and when I got wheeled out in the wheelchair after surgery, I did not have to use the extra-large wheelchair - I could use the regular size one. So all in all, I cannot be disappointed. The results were not as stellar as I wanted, but I can't complain too badly.
