Monday measurements - week 9

Checking in on my measurements for this week it all seems very uneventful when it is just coming down in tiny increments and sometimes with hardly any movement at all but week to week this is to be expected especially as I get closer to my goals as it's always easier to shift the first bit of weight.  It is probably about time to up the intensity of some of my training - add some intervals to my running and cardio and really start to push some heavier weights.  Finding the time is a challenge but given Ben's stint of being away a lot is kind of coming to and end for a couple of weeks I might be able to get to the gym a little more in the early mornings to get it out of the way before children become a factor - if you have the opportunity to negotiate a morning or two with your partner so that he does the early morning wake ups with the kids while you get out I highly recommend it.

I thought I'd do a quick overview of where I am now compared to where I started so if we look back at the measurements from 27th September these are the changes:

Weight a change of -2.6kg
Chest - we won't worry about for the time being as it is still up and down (can't wait to get back to normal - or a slightly droopier version of normal)
Waist  a change of -6cm
UM a change of -8.3cm
Hips a change of -5.2cm
Right thigh a change of -4.1cm
Left thigh a change of -4.7cm

Looks better when its put like that doesn't it.....
