Kara's official measure-up #1

O.K., I summoned up the courage and got out the tape measure yesterday. Drum roll . . . 39 7/8 inches. So, I've lost 1/8 of an inch. Hmmm, it doesn't seem like much, but it's progress. I'm used to measuring weight in pounds, and obviously, pounds come off in higher numbers than inches, so it makes sense that 1/8 of an inch doesn't seem that impressive.
I have to focus on the positive and keep my momentum though. I'm not finding it too difficult to stick to the "Rule of 5's", because I just keep thinking about the horrible things those ingredients do to my body. Dieting is no longer about being beautiful, folks (although that will be a fabulous side effect!) -- it is about being healthy. It is about eliminating the inflammation in my internal organs and avoiding terrible diseases such as heart disease and cancer.
