APRIL 17 - WEEK 109 RESULTS

Well, the stress bloat and weight gain go on!  Even though I have not changed my food or activity, I am under a lot of stress due to my shoulder injury, and I am getting bigger every day.  It's really aggravating!

I take my neck, waist and hip measurements each day.

I tracked my food three days this past week (the days I did not track I ate the same way as these three days) and here are the numbers from Fitday:

Today is my weekly measuring day. In the past 7 days:

I gained 0.375" around my bust
I gained 0.625" around my midriff

I gained 1" around my waist
I gained 0.875" around my navel
I gained 0.75" around my hips
I gained 0.25" around my thigh

I gained 0.375" around my calf
