I've finally decided to take proper measurements of my body, so that I can keep a better track of my progress. I am aware that the number on the scale doesn't mean too much, but the decreasing centimeters on body parts - they matter. So here goes the list:
Kilos: 73.8
Bust measurement: 111
Chest measurement: 100
Waist measurement: 96
Hips measurement: 106
Midway point between waist and hips: 49
Thigh measurement: 90
Knee measurement: 40
Calves measurement: 37
Upper arm measurement: 28
Forearm measurement: 24
I've found two local websites which suggest that I shouldn't eat more than 1150 calories a day, and one of them has a very extensive list of foods and their calories per 100 grams. I'm using it as a guideline, rather than a strict rule. For example, I'm not measuring every single product by weight.
From time to time I will put up a photo of the amount of food that is on my plate. Although I will make sure that I eat within the calorie limit, I will not completely throw out "bad" food such as occasional pancakes or a thin slice of bread with a piece of bacon.
Instead, I will focus more on exercises and generally moving my body more than I used to. Today I was on Orbitrack for 45 minutes, and then additional planking (it's not easy as it looks!) and working on reducing back fat by lifting weights.
My food for today was:
Breakfast:
2 bananas
2 slices of bread
2 slices of ham
Lunch:
Rice
Turkey breast
Peas
Dinner:
Melissa tea with orange juice (didn't have lemon) without sugar.
