I can't lose those kilos

 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.
