Here's the way I see it when it comes to stalled progress: you have two choices, keep going or quit. Quitting at this point is not an option, it would be a huge step backwards to throw in the towel now. So I keep going, running the risk that I'll feel like my workouts are without purpose.
Weight loss is not a purpose. Ever. Weight loss is a consequence of dedication to a purpose. I have dedicated myself to leading a healthier lifestyle for my health, for my family, and for my future.
I've been stuck at the same weight for the last month, and as frustrating as that thought can be sometimes, it's important to remember that the scale is not the final word in all things weight loss.
Today's theme is numbers. There are tons of numbers in losing weight, but my interest lies in body measurements.
Undeniable truths:
| # | 1/25/2011 | 3/05/2012 | 7/18/2012 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bust | 47.5 | 45.0 | 43.75 |
| Chest | 44.5 | 39.0 | 37.5 |
| Waist | 44.0 | 40.0 | 38.5 |
| Hips | 54.5 | 51.0 | 47.5 |
| Thighs, L/R | 30.5/30.0 | 28.5/28.5 | 27.75/27.75 |
| Calves, L/R | 20.0/20.5 | 20.5/20.0 | 18.0/18.0 |
| Upper Arms, L/R | 17.5/17.5 | 16.5/16.5 | 15.0/15.75 |
| Forearms, L/R | 12.5/13.0 | 11.5/12.5 | 11.75/11.5 |
At first glance, these numbers aren't exactly impressive considering the timeline (~18 months). But to refer back to high school math, remember that the area of a circle is the square of the radius times Pi.
To refresh your memory.
Hahahaha, psych. I don't know wtf I'm talking about, but it sounded profesh, right?
