You Day 62

Correctly measuring your waist

Women, your goal is to have your waist under 30 inches while men, your goal is under 35 inches. These are the steps we follow for measuring waist circumference from a nutritionist acquaintance of mine:
Stand with feet shoulder width apart and weight evenly distributed.
Relax your abdomen
Mark the point at the top of the right pelvic bone and the bottom of the right rib cage, directly over the pelvic bone, measure and mark the mid-point between the two marks.
Place the measuring tape in a horizontal plane around the abdomen at the level of the mid-point mark.
Record measurement at the end of a normal expiration.
The tape measure should be pulled to the proper tension without pinching the skin.


Weight loss compliments and insults

I don’t tell anyone unless they ask, that I’ve lost weight. I think this is a good article on how to handle the compliments and the insults.

60 day + Depression

This is usually around the time I get depressed. I’m 1/3 towards my goal and I’m tired of exercising and eating right. I hope that in the next few weeks, I’ll finally not be sore from doing a 1000 lunges and squats. When that is, I don’t know. Also, I don’t know when I’m allowed French fries again. I just had my first hard-boiled egg in two months today. I feel trapped in a diet box but I just have to keep pushing through. It’s still freakin’ hard. Hope you guys are doing well. I'm here for you:)
