This is a weekly chart of inches lost (sum of chest, waist, hips) since 10/1/2011. 

Well, less than a week after coming back, and only 6 days back on 'normal' eating, and I am most of the way back in shape - that's a good thing! The slight reversal of the last two days

Daily Commentary

In my last Daily Commentary for measurement day, I wrote:

Beginning the Winter here, I am looking forward to the biggest challenge of the year: On Friday, I am going to LA, and will be unable to follow the diet I have been on. I am looking at my alternatives... Which probably include as much time walking as I can fit in.

Well, I went a little crazy, and because my leg was bothering me, didn't do a lot of walking, in fact, less than usual, not more. The results were pretty impressive, in an inverse, heinous way.

That being said, I'm happy with the way I am recovering.
