It never ceases to amaze me how weird the weight loss journey can be. I was stressing all month that I wouldn't lose much weight but at the end of the day, I had lost 3.8 lbs. Almost hit my 4 lb. goal so go figure.
I'm going to also do monthly measurements as a second progress check and I'll have pictures posted in the next couple of days.
Here's the measurements. We'll see how much change there is from month to month.
Torso (bottom of the rib cage): 35"
Waist (at the bellybutton): 39.75"
Hips (at the point of the hipbones): 43.5"
Thighs (point of the femur): 26.75" (right) and 26" (left)
Knees (right above the kneecap): 21" (right) and 21.5" (left)
I'm having some joint problems this morning. Now that I know I have RA, I need to be superviligent about this. My wrist is more sore than usual, my right knee was sore when I did squats, and my right ankle was giving me twinges when I walked the dog. I stopped the squats at two sets when I couldn't find a position that wasn't painful. The rest of the workout went just fine but we'll see what this means and whether I need to contact the doctor. I'll be increasing the meds dosage this weekend and hopefully things will settle down.
