21 Days of Accountability – Day 15

Take Measurements.

Yes, more monitoring. It’s a never ending thing. Dropping the weight takes a lot of planning and monitoring, if you haven’t already noticed…

Well, it does when you’re not doing a quick fix and you go about it on your own.

Obviously the scales tell you how much weight you drop and Jillian from The Biggest Loser would hate me for saying to not just focus on the scale (that’s kind of her job right?) BUT as a regular person trying to get in shape sometimes you just need something to give you hope. There will be times when you need reassurance that something is actually happening. Measurements are great for that. Especially in the early days when you can’t see much of a difference at all.

In saying that, don’t focus only on measurements either. The two should work together. I know from past experience that some days when you lose a small amount on the scale, your measurements can drastically change and sometimes when you only change a few cm’s on your measurements you can drop a massive amount on the scales. For me it’s just something I find interesting to watch and review.

So on Wednesday’s, when I share with you the results from measurements, this is what’s getting measured.

Neck

Chest

Abs

Waist

Hips

Thighs

Calves

Biceps

So today’s challenge – start monitoring. I’ve shown you how to monitor your food, weight loss and now your measurements. I’ll do a post about exercise soon. Trust me, monitoring helps!
