• Since I’m just watching my machine run, I went back in time a bit on my Xanga.

  I have three different time points from three different years (not quite exact time line but good enough) where there are measurements of my person (bust, waist, hips, thigh, arm and weight). It is VEEERY interesting. Mostly because of what it doesn’t tell you — at all! From the numbers, you can’t tell how many miles I can run, how many pushups I can do or how often I go to the gym each week. They don’t give an accurate representation of my muscles, what I look like (which, frankly, is pretty hot!) or what my true health is…

  But, check’em out anyway:

  March 16, 2007                              January 31, 2008                            May 31, 2009
  Bust – 41″                                                43″                                                 37.5″
  Waist – 36″                                              39″                                                 34.5″
  Hips – 42″                                                47″                                                 40.5″
  Thigh – 25″                                              28″                                                 25.25″
  Arm – 12.5″                                             13″                                                 12.75″
  Weight – 168lbs                                      192.6lbs                                          153.6lbs

  I am a little over fascinated by data I think, perhaps.
  I track my shoe mileage (on this new pair of awesome running shoes, it’s 16.5miles right now I think), I track my calories (462 burned this morning, last week more than 1700 — and I translate all of that into actual pounds lost)…

  I suppose of all the little OCD things to have, it’s not THAT bad but it isn’t really that useful.
