Me-surements

See what I did there? :p

Anyway, apparently I measure up like this:

Left upper arm:	16.25"
Right upper arm:	16.5"
Left thigh:	30.25"
Right thigh:	30.5" (Yes, the circumference of my legs is bigger than some people's waists)
Midriff (at navel):	43.75"
Cake shelf (AKA muffin top):	49" (Eegh…)

Total inches (I'll explain this in a bit): 186.25"

So, firstly… Eeeegh. :/

Anyway. The total inches number makes it a lot easier to track if I'm actually losing body fat, as changes in that number are much easier to track than changes in weight, which can fluctuate a lot more than the total inches number, and may not even change at all if I start gaining muscle weight at the same time as ditching the fat. Not sure how often I'm supposed to be taking these measurements, though, so I'll probably do it twice a week.

Interestingly, I wrote last night that I'd have to forego the guacamole, as it contains avocados which are quite high in fructose, but the book actually recommends having extra guacamole with Mexican meals as it contains a lot of electrolytes which you'd usually lose with excess water that the diet causes you to lose naturally. So yays! I can have guacamole in my burrito box. :D

Edit: The data above in a completely useless single-point chart. :) I'll update this as I take new measurements. Left axis is inches, right axis is lbs.
