Week 9 Measurements

Alright, alright.  Week 7's measurements never happened and when I measured week 8, I was, again, in the same place as week 6.  This last week I thought, "well, since I've hit some sort of stand still with my body, what would happen if I ate one crappy thing a day, say like a bowl of ice cream every night, but ate really well during the day?  How much difference does a bowl of ice cream really make?" (when I say bowl of ice cream I am talking about a portion size that is 1.5 cups.  Not that big, maybe 2 scoops at a ice cream parlor.  That's right, I said parlor)  Apparently, not that much as you will see in the measurements.  In the spirit of full disclosure, I have been walking the baby a little longer everyday so I have increased my caloric output.

Here are the measurements:

Some of my measurements went down slightly.  That may seem like an improvement but since my overall size hasn't really gone down too much, what we have here is a Mexican Standoff with my fat.  Either I need to get real real strict about what goes into my belly or I need to carve out some time everyday for a workout.  I guess I could try to run.  But honestly starting running when I am this tired and especially this out of shape is like what a hoarder must feel like when they decide to clean their house.  Overwhelmed and mentally unstable in other words.

Weight: 198 lbs.  I really don't care about weight.  I care about my jeans fitting again.  If they fit well at 200 lbs instead of 170, I don't care.  As long as they fit.
