Gym update, measurements revisited 2 weeks on.

Morning 

I hope you're all keeping well?

 I thought I'd update you a bit since posting two weeks ago; I went full steam ahead at the gym and with my diet, I went to the gym every other day or in fact I had a pretty good week where I actually went 5 times and then last weekend -BAM- hit with the worst bout of illness I've had in years.

You know one of those where every muscle and every joint hurts, your skin hurts and light hurts- yes that! You feel as if you've done a round with Tyson and lost bitterly! Not great and I had to put gym on hold as I couldn't even physically drag myself off the sofa!

Went to the Doctor, got told I had a chest infection and am now on antibiotics.

Anyway my lovelies, I digress..

Today, trying on gym gear but actually there is no way I can go. 

No strength at all for it sadly so I shall sulk with daytime TV and wishing for the day I feel well enough again.

I decided to re-visit my measurements today as it's been two weeks since I did my first lot, and despite not having been able to go I am still dedicated to eating the right food and sticking to 1200 calories per day which I track on my fitness pal which is a fantastic online weight loss and exercise diary- check it out it really is most delightful to use.

This morning the old fashioned measuring tape came out and I have to say I was rather delighted with the results and I shall show you why below:

Measurements on the left are from 2/2/2012

Measurements on the right are taken today 17/2/2012

Right bicep: 27.5cm - Now 27cm = loss 0.5cm
Chest at nipple line: 90cm- Now 89cm = loss 1cm
Waist at belly button: 77cm- Now 74cm = loss 3cm
Hips at bone: 90cm - Now 88cm = loss 2cm
Right thigh: 58cm - Now 54cm = loss 4cm
Right calf: 37cm - now 35cm = loss 2cm

Total loss in cm 12.5 - or 5 inches

Weight: 148lb - Now 144lb = loss 4lb 

The gym appears to be paying off and I am loving it and can't wait to get back there and work up a sweat :)
