I have seen a number of friends who have asked about my last post. The one where I posted what Dr. Oz suggests as a proper waist size. Apparently, we all have a different idea as to where our waist is on our body. So here is the official measurement suggestion from Dr. Oz.: Measure yourself directly over your belly button wrapping the measuring tape around your back and stopping above your belly button again. You MAY suck in as hard as you can (YAY! Bonus inches.) This measurement should be at maximum half of your height. If it is not then you are at a greater risk for heart disease and diabetes.
I re-measured sucking in as hard as I can and it's still no where close.....heck, I tried as hard as I could to suck in 17 inches but I only managed about 1 inch. So new goal, lose 16 inches around my middle in addition to the 100 pounds.
I have a new way of thinking of my weight to lose. I am going to think of it as units. I have 10 ten pound units to lose. I am on my way to dropping the first one. So far I am 8 pounds down. OH! I went to the gym this morning and weighed myself and I lost 2 pounds last week. Which is great but not great enough to get my facial tomorrow:( I hate it when Aunt Flo interrupts my fun! Well I am re-scheduling for next week. 2 more pounds is all that keeps me from my reward. I know I can do it!
