Things going about the same....I had another accident this weekend with my poor body. lol. I was moving a huge branch from my neighbors yard, and well, it was heavy and fell on my foot. Now my foot is so swollen and black and blue, I can't wear any shoes except very loose flip flops. grrrrr.

I had to sit the gym out, but last night, I couldn't take it anymore and went to the gym. I did 45 min on the elliptical and worked my lower body out. Had a great abs workout! My foot paid the price later, and I'm still paying for it today, very swollen.

Menu today

Bfast

oatmeal

Lunch

chicken breast - grilled

grilled veggies

Dinner

protein shake

Oh - I took my measurements last night too - I'm going to start tracking them as well again. Since the scale is not moving, maybe my inches are - trying to not get discouraged.

Waist - 36"

Hips - 44" - scary

thighs 23 1/2" -

calves - 15 3/4"

chest - 39 1/2

arms (biceps) - 13"

forearm - 9"

neck - 14 1/2"

according to my measurements, my body fat is 41% - I'm in poor range, and I'm 24 lbs over the ideal - the most fat I should have is 36% - so, I still have a long way to go. :thumbs_up:

Good idea with the measurements. I too have found that the body rearranges its self without a change on the scale.

Put that foot up when you can to get the swelling down. Maybe try the recumbent bike at the gym.
