Oh boy!!! Three things I like about myself...Hmmm?!?!?

First, I am very spiritual (when people ask me what religion I am I say, "None, I'm just spiritual). I believe, and tell my daughter there is something beautiful in EVERY religion, but you don't have to be "one". If it gives you peace keep it, if it doesn't, throw it out

Second, I'm funny as ****

Third, I am very compassionate and truly care about the world and EVERYONE in it...everyone!!!

There is really nothing physically I like about myself, but people have always liked my eyes

Hello, my awesome fellow challengers...

First, I will post the answer to the assignment we were given yesterday...

Three things I like about myself:
(1) I like my hair most of the time.
(2) I used to be distressed by how "anal" I can be over things. Instead of fighting it, I have been using it to my advantage on my Atkins journey. This anal quality has helped me to keep up with Fitday meticulously and that has been a great tool for me. I also think this quality has really helped me to stay cheat-free during the 130 days I have been on Atkins this time around. I am quite happy with how I have approached this WOE.
(3) I am real... I tell it like it is. Others always know where they stand with me. While this quality has gotten me in trouble more times than I can count, it is who I am, and I embrace it.

OK, now for weight and measurements:

Weight: 151 pounds (I am 5 feet, 2.75 inches tall)
*I usually weigh weekly on Sundays, but I weighed this morning and have changed my weigh days to Wednesdays for the duration of this challenge.

Meaurements:
Waist: 33"
Abdomen: 35"
Hips: 41.5"
Knee: 15"
Neck: 12.75"
Shoulders: 40.75"
Chest: 41" with "nips" and 37" above boobs around my chest.
Thigh: 23"
Calf: 15"
Ankle: 9"
Arm: 13"
Forearm: 10"
Wrist: 6.5"
*Although I have taken my measurements 3 times since I have re-started Atkins, I tend to go by my clothes instead of measurements because these numbers don't seem to change much for me much at all even though I know I am smaller and I don't want to get discouraged. I guess it's because it's hard to measure exactly in the same place each time or something... I don't know. It will be interesting to see what happens with my measurements during this time.

I must be insane... a 47 year old woman posting pictures of myself in a bra and panties. I look waaaay better with clothes on.

Re: WORK IT!: The 2007 Labor Day Challenge Thread, Sign-up and Reporting

LOL oh2B,

I know what you mean. I have little thighs and legs (lots of muscle) and then my tummy and above is where all the weight is held.

Hi Mitzi,

I just have to say that your smiling face is adorable! You look exactly like a "Mitzi" should look! I am not sure what that means exactly, but you just really look like a Mitzi!

Hello Jess,

I just saw in your picture that you have your age listed and my friend you look WAY WAY younger than that. You have been blessed with a face of a much younger person...seriously I was guessing like 35!

Deb

wow juli, you are really inspiring people, and we all know the "melting effects" of atkins...It's gonna be massive the success generated here!
