Measuring Body Parts

Done laughing yet?

Are you sure? Is that a giggle I hear?

Well, if you can calm down and breathe for a second, I'll explain my Title. I've measured myself on occasion over the past few months and my trips to the Y have paid off a little. How much? Take a gander at what I've lost:

Forearm - 1/4 inch
Chest and Hips - 1/2 inch
Waist - 3 inches

I also gained some mass.

Thighs and Calves - 1/2 inch

I'm not too surprised by this as I've mainly been running and working out my lower body (calves and thighs). My weight has dropped a little, but not a dramatic amount. I'm not looking anorexic by any means and I haven't really changed my eating habits. Yet.

But the fact that I can run a few miles and feel fine when I'm done makes me feel great. I'm hoping to switch to an upper body workout here soon (after Thanksgiving) and get a good weight routine down. The Y has plenty of machines to use, it's just a matter of finding what works best.
