Measurements from 8/30/07

OK--here's the full Monty of measurements from yesterday (sorry I didn't post them Thursday but it was a CRAZY day and I didn't have a chance).

Weight 210.5 pounds (down 2.5 pounds from last week and 44.5 total)
YAHOO!! 11 pounds from "ONE-derland"!!

Abs 41 (no change) Sucked In Abs 39
Chest 44.75 (up 1/2 inch)
R arm 14 (no change) L arm 13.5 (no change)
R thigh 24 (d0wn) L thigh 24.5 (down)
Pannus 48.5 (up 1/4 inch)
Neck 16 (down 1/2 inch)

I was happy with the weight, a tad disappointed at the measurements but I knew it was going to start to level off a bit. I'm sure I'll have a decent sized change in the next week or so.

I am proud of myself for sticking to this. I can't believe that 50 pounds is almost gone. WOW! 5.5 pounds to 50 pounds gone....whew. That's A LOT of weight. I think about carrying a 50 pound bag of dog food (for my Great Dane) and I think "DAMN--50 pounds, holy COW!".

This afternoon we leave for Boulder, so I won't be writing again until Wednesday. I'm geared to "hike the rim". I hope it happens. I'm going to do everything in MY power to MAKE it happen. I'm SO excited!!

I better run, I have 30 more minutes until I close the office and I still have a few more things to do. I hope everyone has a fun and safe weekend!
Hugs,
Shannon

Yep, I like the dog food example too. I do the same thing every now and then. I pick something up and think I've lost more than this heavy-whatever I'm carrying. It's so COOL!

Have fun...I can't wait to hear about the trip!
