I had just got back from church earlier, so I was all done up with a new dress on and makeup on, I look SO different!  I was wearing a size 22-24 when I started.  That black dress I had on today is a size 17-18, and it's loose!

My measurements today compared to last week:

neck:  14 1/2" (no change)

upper arm:  14 1/2" (down 1/4")

chest:  43" (no change)

waist:  35" (up 3/4")  I think I may have measured wrong last week

hips:  51" (down 1")

thigh:  32 1/2" (no change)

calf:  18 1/2" (no change)

So, I worked out on Thursday, that was the ONLY day I could make time, as my Mother is still staying with us and is needing a lot of help and company.  It is only draining and bothersome because it interferes with my work and my ability to bring in an income to the home.  As it is, I do not know if we will be able to make rent this next month.  I am still moving forward and am looking to the more positive side of my Mother being here.

She was not that present for me growing up, so it has it's blessings right now.
