Friday weight and measurements

Weighed in on my scales at 204. No school today due to snow storm. Jarrett told me something very interesting about losing weight. He said the first 4 minutes of exercise you burn cholesterol, up to 20 minutes you burn sugar in the blood, and after 20 minutes you burn the fat. I knew about the 20min/fat info. 20 years ago when I worked as the 4-H program assistant, we took the Food and Nutrition Board to Physicians Weight Loss and they said only people with high cholesterol were to exercise on their program, because exercise helps lower cholesterol. So all the information fits together like pieces of a puzzle. My new goal is to ride my exercise bike for 30 minutes each time. New measurements are:
Neck: 16.25 Gut: 43.5 Calf:15.5
Arm: 13.75 Hip: 43.25
Bust: 45.5 Thigh: 23.25
Waist: 40 Ankle: 8.75
Overall inches lost this week is disappointing: 250 - 249.75 = .25 lost. BOO!!! I have done 2 weight lifting sessions and I know that I tend to put on muscle easily. who knows? I am not giving up. On the bright side, since my last official weight on my scales 12/28/10, I have lost 5 pounds and 4 inches off my waist. so Yeah Me!
