STOPPING THE DAILY BODY MEASURING

I've been taking my core measurements for the past several days instead of weighing on the bathroom scale.  Here are my results:

10/10/10
29.75" - waist
33.50" - navel
39.50" - hips

10/11/10
30.00" - waist
33.50" - navel
39.50" - hips

10/12/10
29.50" - waist
33.75" - navel
40.00" - hips

10/13/10
29.50" - waist
33.50" - navel
39.50" - hips

10/14/10
29.50" - waist
33.00" - navel
39.50" - hips

10/15/10
29.50" - waist
33.50" - navel
39.50" - hips

10/16/10
29.50" - waist
33.00" - navel
39.25" - hips

Since I started this, I have lost 1/4" around my waist, 1/2" around my navel and 1/4" around my hips.  I still have not weighed. I must admit that I am curious!

I am going to stop the daily measuring. With my scale weight, there were big changes everyday, and it made it worth my time to see get on the scale.

But with my measurements, they basically stay the same for days at a time, with a little bit of up and down here and there. In other words... BOOOOORING!!!

I think that now that I am in Phase 4, and have decided that I am not going to strive to get smaller any more, measuring or weighing every day might be counterproductive. I'm trying to just live and eat the way I know I should and not stress about the little ups and downs.

One thing that this little experiment has done for me is to show me that I can survive without getting on the scale every day. It has also shown me that my scale weight is so crazy from day to day that it mostly just causes me stress.

So here is my new plan - I am going to weigh and measure once a week, every Sunday morning, just like always, just to make sure I don't start to creep up without realizing it.
