Weigh-In Results

I spent this evening at the gym doing most of Mr. Scott's weight lifting routine.  There are a couple exercises I'm not quite sure how to do.  I think his plan was to keep me in the gym for a long time so I wouldn't be tempted to eat anything.  But the joke's on him.  I brought ice cream! 

Totally kidding.  Sadly, there was no ice cream at the gym tonight.

It's Monday and that means results.  Weigh-in results that is.  So let's get to it.

Yusss!  Another good week on the scale!  I lost 2.9 pounds, bringing me back to uncharted territory.  I'm lighter than I've been in 5 years!  I've lost a total of 35.8 pounds so far.  I'm stoked about this loss.  This means I only have 11.2 pounds left in my May push.  If every week's weigh-in for the next month is as good as tonight's, I'll see 249 pounds by June 1st. 

It's been a month since I first took my measurements.  That way, I can see what the scale may not be telling me.  Let's take a look.

If you recall, I weighed 265 pounds the last time I took my measurements (to be more accurate, my wife, Claire, took my measurements).  So it's only about 5 pounds difference between the two times I measured.

Here's how I did:
Neck 19" [no change]
Shoulder 54"  [-3/4"]
Bicep 15" [-1"]
Chest 49" [-1 1/4"]
Waist 49" [-2"]
Hips 43" [-3 1/2"]
Thigh 24" [- 4 1/2"]
Calf 18.5" [no change]

I was surprised by how much parts of me changed.  I'm having trouble believing some of them (thigh especially) but I'm going to accept them, be proud of them, and put my measuring tape away for another month.
