My mom and I got new fitbits for Christmas (my sis already had hers) So I got them some nicer metal bands instead of the standard ones. I got them both gold since they were mostly gold jewelry. The bands have a magnetic strip so that you can adjust it and secure it. It’s super lightweight and feels more comfortable than the normal bands, it also feels really secure. 

I’m going to order myself one or two now that I see that they’re good. The only thing is I don't know which color(s) to get from: rose gold, gold, silver, or black.

Measurements 2018-01-01

Here we go again. My weight-loss stalled and reverted last summer after a good start in the spring. Then in the fall I moved and bad habits were regained. Portion sizes forgotten. At the beginning of December I weighed myself and saw the number had risen up to 130.3kg -- not quite the highest I’ve been, but almost where I started last March. Started watching the amounts I was eating again. Left the every evening ice cream (I know, I don’t even...) and started using my Fitbit again. I managed to do reasonable eating even through the holidays, so was pleased. Now at the start of January I weighed in at 127.3kg, so 3kg lost in a month when I wasn’t even properly tracking or exercising! Unfortunately it’s very hard for me at the moment to count calories, since I’ve moved in with my elderly parents, and mom usually cooks on my work days. This means I’m watching my eating mostly with reducing portion sizes, adding lots of vegetables to my diet and cutting the ridiculous amounts of milk I drink (who’d think that milk of all things would be a problem... but anything CAN be, if you don’t have it in moderation).

Anyway. Measurements! Leaving the old ones for reference too.

I wish I could say the centimeters added to my bust were actually on my breasts, but that’s not the case. Instead it’s back fat. Lovely. I am surprised the numbers aren’t up more, but pleased of course. Then again, maybe it means I had more of the kilos inside me around the intestines, which is super unhealthy. The interesting thing is, that according to my calculations, my fat percentage didn’t go up as much, but since this is calculated only with a few measurements, it might be horribly wrong. I am looking forward getting my body composition numbers once I manage to get an appointment with a personal trainer at my gym -- Yes! That’s right! I got myself a gym membership after Christmas and queued myself up for a PT, but the time of year makes it so that it takes a while. Oh well. I’m trying to muddle through some exercises in the gym the best I can, but I do feel a bit lost. Maybe I should try find my gym routine papers from about 10 years ago... 

Using the Fitbit again is nice (I got a Charge 2), but it’s driving me nuts during the night, since I’m not used to wearing anything on my wrist. Also I think I’m slightly allergic to the metal parts, since I get an itch (nothing horrible, just irritating). I’m trying to use it every day and post the results, good or bad. Was a nice surprise, that they finally fixed the kilometers showing up as miles. 

Oh. And in case anyone is interested... I’m posting (almost) daily stuff about the better body project in instagram: https://www.instagram.com/katjasbetterbodyproject/ -- feel free to follow if it interests you. Currently it’s mostly just pics of fat me.

I posted this big long thing on tumblr yesterday and it didn't work. So I'm cheating and using my instagram caption. I need to lose weight for my health and wellbeing.

Today is my father's birthday so I won't be able to workout and definitely won't eat as clean as I want. But that's ok!

I'll still post my Fitbit recap of the day tonight.

Have a lovely day!
