Measurements

So I am constantly told that we should not measure our weight loss by what the scales say and we should also go by measurements. So today I took my measurements. Now they are only rough estimations. Yes I did use a measuring tape but I did them by myself which means I could have done it wrong, but also could have been right. Bust measurement- 37 inches Waist- 32.5 inches Hips- 39 inches Thighs- 22.5 inches Seems pretty huge when I look at it now, but I know that its just something for me to work on and also by doing weekly measurements I will be able to see if there are any real changes going on, or whether I need to make some changes to my diet, and work out where I am going wrong. I am now taking my acai berry tablets so hopefully they will make some sort of difference and help to stop those cravings that we all have. I am now also realizing just how much I am moving around at work. I take roughly around 10,000 steps a day alone on an eight hour shift at my job which means I may make a little bit of muscle. But I do plan to put back in at least five lots of exercise during the week, whether it be a sprint walk, or a swim in the evening, or just doing my exercise video in the evening. Its easy to come up with the excuses, oh its been a long day at work, its too late now and Im tired anyway. Its just so easy, but I need to make those changes otherwise I really will get no where at all. Today I am having to do the whole dinner at lunch time thing because I am working 1.30 till 9.30 which means I will have to have a lunch at dinner time instead. Of course that makes things a lot harder, but its just something to work with especially when there is a chance that this could become a permanent thing and could mean working full time for a long time hopefully, fingers crossed and all that stuff. So for my dinner/lunch, I am going to have a vegetable omelette with a small handfull of chips. My mind is screaming at me, telling me thats not healthy, but I know that could just be the anorexic part of my mind who would rather have nothing at all or a stick of celery. I think thats what makes losing weight the hardest thing to do, because you have to decipher between the truth and the non truth and that is a very hard job to do, especially when my mind automatically tries to plan when I can skip a meal or when I can't. But it has to be a battle worth fighting right?
