Pay and Measure
Image via Wikipedia That’s my nickname for the week we do “weigh and measure” with my PT. Because I usually pay for the next 6 week installment at the same time. 
The first few times, I found it kind of ironic that I was paying for the “privilege” of having to get on the scales. 
I wasn’t really, but it was an interesting mental connection.
So today was “pay and measure” day.
And I noticed a mental connection of a different kind. It didn’t bother me the way it has in the past.
Being weighed and measured I mean.
Not sure if that’s a result of how comfortable I feel around my PT or that I’m more comfortable in my own skin. Possibly a combination of both.
Up until now I haven’t wanted to know what the figures were saying but today I really looked at them.
The Good News:
- Waist measurement is down
- Blood Pressure is down
- Weight didn’t go up despite my weight going up twice this month (I’ve been able to lose what I gained)
- Measurements reflected about what I expected. I’ve noticed when I gain weight and then lose it again that the weight is shifting - the measurements reflected what I’ve noticed in my clothing so at least I know I’m making some accurate reflections on my changing body shape.
My Current Goals:
- Stop gaining weight so that when I DO lose it, it’s an actual loss and not just a “back to where we started”.
- Exercise daily to improve fitness, get into a “habit” and help my body crave healthier foods (which it seems to do if I’m exercising daily).
- Get my waist measurements to a healthier size.
- Fit in my gold & black dress. I can actually wear it but a tiny weight loss would make it slightly more comfortable.
PT News
For those who don’t read my comments section on a regular basis, my PT has just won the highest netball award for our area (Best & Fairest A grade in the association).
And she still made it today after a big afternoon of celebrations yesterday!!! Must be built tough!
Speaking of tough, I need to go and fall into bed I think. I’m a wee bit weary. I always sleep well on a Monday night. 
Don’t think I’m built tough.

I’d call it Pain and Measure, but that’s just me.
LOL. I do like your goals though and I have similar ones myself. I’m easing back into exercising.
I have been doing the exercise thing myself. I have been dropping lbs. nice and slow. Watching my belley go down slowly.

Time for lazy old Sharon to get back into it.
Squash started last night so I figure this is a good week to get started, so yes we are on for tomorrow!
Time to spring into action!
Sounds Like you are back on track. I understand about the P&W & measure, but I came back on Saturday feeling like I had achieved something- KGs down waist measure down- would i be as focussed if i was doing it myself? I doubt it
