Summer winds down

WOW, looking at the calendar there are only 17 days until school starts.  I think it will go fast with all the registrations and back to school events coming up.  It will be good to get back in to a regular routine.  Hopefully the diet/exercise will get back to routine also.  It’s hard to do in the summer, but I think I’ve managed pretty well with vacations and unbearable weather of late.  DD is at the water park with some friends today.  I think I’m going to take the boys and do some back to school shopping.  We have a tax free weekend on clothing and school supplies here.  That will save a little bit of money.  DD and I are excited for the release of Breaking Dawn tomorrow. I didn’t know anything about the Twilight series until earlier this summer, when I asked dd if she had a good book I could read while sitting at the pool and she gave me twilight.  They are pretty good.  I have a feeling I’m not going to like how the series wraps up though.  We’ll see……..

I took my measurements yesterday. Here are a few comparisons in inches:

Waist  Before- 44 and Now- 40 3/4  =  -3 3/4

Breast Before 45.5 and Now 42 = -3.5

Hips  Before 47 and Now 42 1/2 = -4.5

 That’s 11 3/4 inches gone in just those3 areas!  Yippeeeee!  That’s exciting! I did take other measurements but don’t feel like posting them all. Overall you could say I’ve lost 41 3/4 inches all over my body! 

I’m glad I took the measurements cause even though my weight has only gone down about 5 lbs over that last 2 or 3 months, I can look and see the difference in inches also.  It’s another way of measuring your success. Sometimes the number on the scale doesn’t tell the whole story!
