I do have to take some new measurements. Was checking out my old stat sheets earlier this evening,
notice that nothing has been updated since the end of June. I am willing to bet that while my weight
has held rather steady (within 5 pounds) the measurements have definitely changed. What I did find
interesting though, is the last time I did record measurements - everything had decreased except
those calf muscles ... which actually showed an increase. Suppose it could be my measuring, but I am
willing to bet it's due more to the increased walking and building of leg muscles. Now to get some
weights and work on the upper arms. <G>
