So this morning I did the new measurements. My bust is still shrinking rapidly :)
I just think thats too funny. I will probably be able to wear training bras when I reach my goal!

Okay okay I will stop playing around. Here are the measurements and progress:

..16.69 in (no loss *see below)

bust: 37.13 in............................
.36.13 in (1 in loss)

So we see that I have had some losses here! You know I keep feeling like there is an error somewhere. I still thought that the scale was wrong, but now I am considering the cumulative results of the scale, these measurements, and the trip I made to target yesterday. I was trying on clothes to see what my size was. I have some pants here at homoe that I posted in my status were a size 13- well apparently those were juniors. I figured it out because I told my mom that the 15's fit better, and she informed me that there isnt a 15 for regular womens clothes. Well fooled me- how am I supposed to know- Ive been wearing 16 to 24 for years now. How should I know?! Anyway- I tried on a pair of junior 15 pants and they fit, but they tended to slip a little and I am not into my grandma underwear flashing everyone :) no offense grammas!
Bu I put on a pair of size 12 jeans for grown ups and sure enough they fit! I am surprised. I had thought some months back that I would fit them because I had a pair of pants that I uploaded me wearing on video. They were a size 12/14 on the tag- but now I think they are supposed to be baggy because I still wear them and they fit MUCH differently. And when I tried to fit into a 12 and 14 at the store I couldnt do it! I think that those pants were extra roomy- and meant to fit that way- yet I squeezed into them Now I am a store 12 and they are baggy and the waist band catches where before it was totally extended.

Anyway I did the waist to hip ratio, and now I am an avocado shape! It was a long time that I saw the old apple results and I thought it would take a long time to see anything different. I am surprised. If you dont know what I am talking abuot go to the fitness page and look at the calculators, there you will see the waist to hip ratio and it will explain the health risks aor lack of with each body type.

And as for the calf measurements I wanted to point out that the time before this I had actually GAINED size in my calves! I contributed this to the calf raises I was doing as a part of spark strength training and that I had recenlty taken up jogging. Well, although I am losing inches everywhere my calves have maintained. this tells me that I am maintaining if not gaining muscle mass in my calves and it is balancing out the measurements. I mean why elses would everything but my calves shrink (after they GAINED) since I started jogging. Thats all I can think of. My legs havent gotten this much of a workout in my entire life! I have never ever been able to produce continuous movement as I do when I jog EVER. I stand amazed at where God is taking me. Its a personal acheivement that I never imagined I would have.

So thats that. I am going to change my status but I thought I would say a little funny note... When I was really coming to Christ I began to realize that I had to stop being deceptive and telling lies. I also realized from the book of Romans that I need to obey authorities- render unto Ceasar so to speak. Now sadly I am a convicted felon! Ouch! So needless to say I had A LOT of work to do in changing the way I did things. Well I made such an extreme turn around that people have begun to come down on me because they feel I am following the law TOO CLOSELY! Well come on I want to keep the Lords commands! This means that when I ride my bike I use hand signals and stay to the far right of the road. I also have to walk my bike in the cross walks in this town. I also have to use a headlight at night. Anyway I have gotten A LOT of hassle for slowing down an entire day to walk my bike through crosswalks that every other rider in town just glides right through. I mean the police dont stop people, BUT I KNOW that we are supposed to do it and I feel like God wants me to, I want to stick with His commands. Anyway as I was walking my bike through the cross walk and positioning it to the far right of the road to sit at a stop sign and wait my turn to ride into traffic I looked down and saw a $20 bill! I was shocked- thats a large denomination to find on the ground! Now instantly I thought to myself about how it pays to do the right thing! See God blessed me for applying His word to my life! Even when it seemed like everyone was hassling me for doing these things- even when it wasnt effecting them- I stuck to it. I knew I had to do it and it didnt matter what anyone else thought- I felt like God wanted me to. And now I have a new pair of jogging shoes which I needed really badly! They arent expensive ones- they were like $21 and change after tax at target. But they are so so much better than the hand me down ones I was wearing which were too big even for roomy jogging shoes. They were starting to rub when I was jogging. Well God provides, eh?!

So thats that! Take care everyone!


Love in Christ!
