Everyone starts somewhere

I finally broke down and actually weight and measured myself yesterday.  According to Wii Fit, I weigh in at about 212 pounds.  Better than I thought it would be.  More than I weighed the day I delivered my just under 10 pound son....13 1/2 years ago.

And the measurements are....

L arm--15                         R arm--15.5

L thigh--27.5                    R thigh--28

Waist--45                         Hips--46.5

Bust (with sports bra)--44

So there we have it.  My BMI is around 34.  Obese.  We knew that.  My waist to hip ratio is .95 and indicates an increased risk for heart disease.  I knew that, too. 

Today marks the 5th day since I have started the plank and squat challenge.  So far so good.  I have actually been doing the challenge everyday.  Yesterday I added the pushup and tri dip challenge as well.  I have very strong legs, but my arm strength leaves something to be desired.  Today I also did the Zumba World Party on Xbox Kinect.  That game is great!  I was dripping in sweat when I was finished. 

This post is blasé.  I apologize for that.  Really, I just wanted to post my weight and measurements and say, yes, I am working on it.

Everyone has to start somewhere.  Now we now where I'm starting.
