Week 3 Weigh-in

Weekly overview
I missed doing my weigh-in yesterday, because my scale suddenly decided it needed new batteries.  I only had three good days out of eight of following my food plan. Did better with my exercise. It was a busy week, but I certainly could've done better. I like that my steps per day have increased steadily, without my intentionally trying to walk around more.


What the numbers mean: In measuring my chest, I measure the upper chest, across the bosom, and then the upper ribcage. I have found this to be a much more accurate assessment of the area, since the bosom number can change drastically depending on which bra is worn. The arm measurement is right across the apex of of the bicep, both relaxed and flexed. I thought it would be fun to see the how the numbers would change in relation to each other as I lose fat and build muscle. Also, I believe my bodyfat scale is being overly optimistic about my percentage of fat. I'm certain it's off by 5-10%. So even though it's inaccurate, it IS measurable. And it's the only scale I've got, so it'll have to do.

Resolution for next week
Hey my numbers improved again this week! I must be doing something right, even though my adherence to my habits is pretty shaky. I'm glad I get to reset every week. I will continue to work on my three habits!

1 - Go to bed on time - get plenty of sleep!

2 - 30 min of non-strenuous, therapeutic exercise daily - physical therapy, gentle yoga, walking

3 - Follow the 4 Golden Rules of Eating
