Reader Beware! There are measurements in there!

So I was right, once again I was disappointed to find I didn't receive my package. Today will likely be more of the same because I realized that I shipped it to my old address. I'm guessing that I need to add more or less 3 days to make up for it having to be forwarded? I am very annoyed at myself. Confined to yet another day of trying to complete this workout out of a book or in pieces off of YouTube. 

Today I sampled YouTube with a few lunges and other bits and pieces. But I heard there were a few free workouts somewhere on her site so I will be trying to find those to help me along a bit. Right now I am sitting in blissful silence while my youngest naps and my legs ache from the "workout" if you can even call it that at this point.

I thought today would be a good day to get some facts out of the way, that way you can't say I just way overplayed the miraculous changes in my body.... Given that I have miraculous changes that is!

- I am 25 and weigh a lot. I'm not sure I really want to confess my actual weight right now but here goes.... 294 pounds. Now please do your best to erase that number from your memory.
- I have this wonderful little thing called PCOS... Or Policystic Ovarian Syndrome. If you don't know what this is... Thank your lucky stars. It's a nightmare. This means that for me... Weight is next to impossible to lose except under the right circumstances. Remember how I lost 60 lbs a few years ago with a 1200 cal/day diet and working out every day for at least an hour over the course of half a year? Unless I'm doing something drastic like that then nothing happens! And it is all thanks to the wonderful hormone imbalances that render my "time of the month" virtually non-existent and makes it next to impossible to get pregnant unless under the right circumstances just like the weight loss. Part of what makes this really fun is that I don't feel like spending a fortune on a doctor (yes I'm one of THOSE people) so I am always game for more natural remedies.
- Because of questionable hormone patterns I take fancy PreNatals called RainbowLight and more specifically PrenatalOnes. These are organic, and I chose organic for a reason! If you look into generic multi-vitamins (which was my favorite budget-friendly option) they are not nearly as closely regulated. As a matter of fact neither are the "regular" vitamins. The FDA doesn't look into vitamins and things of that nature unless people complain about them, but in order for something to have the "organic" seal it must meet a series of requirements including even distribution of content. I chose PreNatals because I would love another baby someday and better safe than sorry.

That is about all I can think of as far as "basic health facts" that could affect the outcome of the T-Tapp experience... And hopefully be improved by it! 

And now for the scary part. The measurements. These could feature in some horror flick they are so scary. I saw them and pitied my wonderful husband for a bit (don't tell him that... I would get into trouble, bless him)...

Measurements 6/11/14

Neck 17.2"
Above bust 47"
Bust 49"
Bra line 47"
Right arm 17"
Right wrist 6.75"
Left arm 17"
Left wrist 6.75"
Stomach (bellybutton) 51"
Hips 57"
Right thigh 27"
Left thigh 27"
Right calf 16.8"
Left calf 17.25

From lowest rib to hips 4"
Hips to knees 18.5"
Knees to ankles 14.5"
The reason for the bottom measurements is to discover my body type according to T-Tapp, which is a "combo" or a combo with long torso tendencies.

Now let us all say a prayer that this is the most painful thing I ever post on this blog. There is one thing I suppose I can be thankful for... God appears to have blessed me with a measure of equal proportions.
