So, I've heard all the hula-baloo about measuring yourself. Yea, yea, whatever. Really, that's what I thought. I've been tracking my inches but not really paying attention.

HERE IS WHY INCHES ARE SO IMPORTANT...

Weight lost: 10.4 lbs (slow and steady. ugh!)

Waist: 37.5 to 35 (-2.5")
Belly Button: 46 to 40.5 (-5.5"!!)
Hips: 52 to 50 (-2")

I've lost 5.5" around my belly button/abdomen!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY! (sheesh, bloat much?!?) No wonder my hubby said he thought I've lost more than 10 lbs.

Better yet - I've lost as many inces as I have lbs. Now, THAT is motivation.

    That is awesome! I am going to have to find something around my house to measure with because that is inspiring!
