FitOKay's Journal, 05 June 2014

Really late (or early) journal. I think I did something bad to my left shoulder I've been having issues with. I haven't done a push-up for days now and my shoulder won't stop hurting from the front of my shoulder across my collarbone. Going to wait til Monday to see if anything lets up and then will make an appointment to see what I screwed up.

This morning (Wednesday) we woke up to the sounds of a transformer blowing in our neighborhood. Not fun. The power was out until mid afternoon so we spent the day running errands and then at the beach. Was a little too cool (and overcast) to actually go swimming but we had the beach nearly to ourselves. We did a picnic and the boys played with their sand toys.

We got the BIA Scale I ordered off Amazon and I'm not sure I believe that this one works as advertised. The body fat, water, etc.. percent numbers it gives both my husband and I are exactly the same as the numbers we can get online from a enter your height, weight, gender, age calculator. Makes me suspicious when that happens to be the information this scale asks for to set up our profiles. Going to dig up my tape measurer and see what percents I get with one of the more comprehensive calculators that asks for all your body measurements. Also, my husband is going to see if the dietitian at work can find her hand-held body fat percent measurer (as of last weekend they began putting a doctor office/clinic in the store and most the dietitian's stuff is in storage now). If all this scale is really doing is using an algorithm to figure out the percents I'm just going to send it back. We already have a scale that works fine for weight and I can just look online for that sort of guestimate of body fat percent =p

***UPDATE FOR MEASUREMENTS***
I just thought I'd see what my measurements looked like lately. Been a few months.

IN
12/01/2013 Waist- 33.00" hips- 42.00" bust- 40.00"
03/21/2014 Waist- 32.25" hips- 41.25" bust- 39.25"
06/05/2014 Waist- 29.50" hips- 38.50" bust- 37.50"

CM
12/01/2013 W- 84cm, H- 107.00cm, B- 101.50cm
03/21/2014 W- 82cm, H- 105.00cm, B- 99.50cm
06/05/2014 W- 75cm, H- 97.75cm, B- 95.25cm

So I'm absolutely not down enough weight wise to account for the decrease in those numbers (5lbs-ish in 2.5 months). I have to assume that this is the upside to steadily increasing resistance on my bike and doing the at home strength training =)

Hope everyone had a great Wednesday and has a great Thursday!

Impressive that you are tracking to this degree. You have motivated me to nosey online and see if I can also track my progress as I have shrunk but not lost recently. Thanks!

Seems like the measurements should be a great encouragement to you, they matter more than weight though I know it's fun to see the numbers on that evil thing drop! Keep up the great WORK! I haven't been keeping track of my inches lost but I finally just bought pants 2 or 3 sizes smaller that fit and a smaller you- know -what and it feels great!

What BIA scale are you using? My $20 Walgreen's is starting to give erratic readings. Don't know if it's the battery expiring, it's off balance, or what.
