New Measurements!

Well, as of yesterday I finished my cleanse, and I made Saturday my official measuring day. 

I didn't start measuring myself until I had done 2 weeks of the 30 Day Shred DVD, so the only other numbers I have to go on are from January first... and all I measured there was my waist (34.5inches, about 1 inch above my belly button).  I know that my measurement around my belly button was somewhere around 36 inches, and my hips have always been around 41-42" for as long as I can remember.  I'm pretty sure my measurements didn't change all that much until I started the Shred DVD, and by the time I finished day 20, my waist was down to 32 inches, and my hips were at 40.  As of today, I dropped even further.  My waist is now 29inches... below the 30inch mark I really wanted to hit.  My hips are at 39, and around my belly button I am now 32 inches!  As far back as I can remember (uh... since grad), I've never had my 'smallest midsection measurement' (you know, the area under your chest that is the very smallest section... above your waist) anything below a 28, and I'm back to that again.  I'm very proud of myself!  It was a lot of hard work, but my 30 day shred is now complete, my cleanse is now complete, and I am a healthier (and slimmer) individual for it!

Now to keep up a healthy lifestyle...
