February 1 Measurements

OK, today launched as day 1 in the February challenge. I've made it through the day, well I'm close at least! This morning I weighed in at 279!! I have no idea when I last weighed that!! I don't know exactly how much I've lost.  I think around 54 pounds!! Not really sure though.  Scale didn't start working until I reached 317 in November.  I love going places, because I know people who see me think I'm obese - medically I'm "morbidly obese." I don't care what others think because I know that if they knew me they'd actually be shocked!  Everyone who knows me is constantly telling me how amazing I look.  Sometimes it's hard to accept that there is still so far to go.  I feel incredible.

Anyway, I'm getting off track. I made it today without eating sugar!! Funny - seemed like anything I wanted happened to have sugar in it. I ran a mile on the treadmill since it was so cold out.  I wanted to run 2 but quit after one.  BOO!!!! I felt like I was unbalanced and going to fall a couple times, so I didn't push real hard.  I have to get better though.  The only way to continue to see progress is to push past the place of comfort.  If I only do what I can already do, it will take a very long time to see improvement.  I am planning on this month being a PUSH to see what my body can do.  Always with prayer that the Lord will help me to be aware if I go to far.

Since I will not be weighing or measuring for 1 month (God help me!) I have decided to post my measuremtents here. Then we will see what the difference is 4 weeks from now.
Here goes:
Biceps:          15  (Lost 1 inch the last 2 months)
Under Arm    43 (Lost 2 inches)
Under Chest  41 (Lost 2 inches)
Chest            50.5 (Lost 2 inches)
Waist            53 (Lost 3.5 inches)
Hip               60 (Lost 1 inch)
Upper Thigh 28.5 (Lost 1.5 inches)

Jump in!  Get started! There's no better time to do something good for yourself.  Every effort helps.  Your worth it!!
