Tale of the tape…
They still compare boxers by size as well as weight – you see heavyweight boxers compared by the size of their waist, thigh and then their reach. Its clear to me that two people can weigh approximately the same – and yet have two different body shapes.
So why the hell didn’t I start measuring myself when I started on my quest to lose weight and get fit. I’ve been mildly frustrated by the fact that I’m eating really well (healthy, lean food), and working out almost every day (6 out of 7 last week) – and yet the weight loss progress seemed to plateau a bit.
However – this weekend, I had a revelation…I went to buy some clothes for an upcoming holiday…and nothing fitted. I had to go a size down on shorts/trousers and ended up buying shorts for my holiday that I wouldn’t have fitted into for the last 5 years.
Thats the tale of the tape!
