After two fantastic vacations, a major sunburn, my grandfather's 86th birthday party, and a UTI I am finally logging my last set of measurements. When I took the post-phase 1 measurements I was concerned about swelling of my lower abdomen (the pouch, as I call it) and sure enough, post antibiotics measurements indicate there was about 1 inch of swelling. So the numbers for the month of August are as follows:
Measurements 8/6/07:
Arm: 13.25"
Rib Cage: 33.5"
Breast: 40.25"
Waist: 32.5"
Pouch: 36.5" (37.5" pre-antibiotic)
Thigh (Largest Part): 26"
Knee: 17"
Calf: 15.25"
Ankle: 9"
Measurements 8/16/07:
Arm: 13.25"
Rib Cage: 32.5"
Breast: 40.25"
Waist: 32"
Pouch: 36.5"
Thigh (Largest Part): 24.5"
Knee: 17"
Calf: 14.25"
Ankle: 9"
This time I didn't do phase one for a full two weeks. I had difficulty selecting menu items that sounded appetizing. Nothing sounded good. I think I had about 20 salads during that 10 day time frame. Good news is it appears that my lower body is actually shrinking...slowly, but surely. :D If I am just as enthused about the diet next month I might try to do Phase 1 every other month instead...who knows, we'll see when the time arrives. :)
Hope everyone is doing well themselves!
