 I don't seem to be able to lose those kilos I gained over christmas, it's still around 60.5-61.5 kilos, which isn't bad as such, but I would prefer 58-59.

However, since I'm going ot the gym every other day now, some of it may be due to getting more muscle, so I have decided to start measuring myself. It would have been nice to know what my measurements were when I weighed under 60 kilos, but the only measurement that I can remember is my waist measurement from when I last visited the research project for the arthritic study. That was 81 cm.  So I'll have that as a starting point, though the large scar hernia that I have around the natural waist makes that one a little off if I would like to compare with other people. Comparing with myself should work though, until (if) I get surgery. I am going to see a doctor about this on the 28th of February and hope that they decide to take it away. A round ball with the diameter of 9-19 centimeters is no fun to have in your abdomen.

Anyway, since I keep all notes about weight and health here I will from now on keep track of my measurements on Dreamwidth, though probably not always public.

weight today: 61.5 kilos  (c. 135.5 pounds)
Chest (without bra): 97 cm (c. 38 inches)
natural waist: 81 cm (c. 32 inches)
hips, widest point: 99 cm (c 39 inches)

I will be going to the gym later today. First I will work on my presentation for the conference in New York that I'm going to in March and then I have been asked to write a blog post for a museum that I really ought to start on.

After 4 pm. there's Gotvik's sewing meeting at my place.

I too wish I had taken measurements before I started working out, especially in the arms and shoulders, which, much to my surprise got much bigger than they had been. It would also have been nice to have "body fat" measurements from before and after (which I have since been told they can do at the gym), but my past self didn't think of it, and my personal trainer didn't suggest it.

Ugh, hernias are so creepy. I hope they decide to get rid of it!
