If you're a bird, I'm a bird

On Friday, March 27, Joe and I weighed and measured necks, arms, chest, diaphragm, abdomen, buttocks, thighs, calves, and upper knees with a tape measure. Joe went first and lost 6 inches and 13 pounds. I was nervous so he wrote everything for me. I lost 8.4 pounds and lost 11.25 inches!! Grant it, we had just finished a cleanse so we had been drinking liquids for two days so I see why they have you measure on Day 11. It is getting harder for me to drink enough water the longer we have been doing this.

Need to go fill up my water bottle again. R
