Hormone Diet Exercise Prescription Day #7 - A Day of Rest and Celebration!

So, no workout today.  In the book, she states that you must take these rest days to let your body heal/adjust to the exercise days.  You are allowed to do "fun" activities, like walking or bike riding.  However, since it's 35 degrees and raining outdoors, I'm going with a day of rest.  Sort of.  I am doing 4 hours of massage today.

Today was weigh and measure day.  According to my scale and tape measure:

1.  I've lost 2.8 pounds this week.
2.  I've lost 1.5 inches off my waistline this week.
3.  I've lost 0.5 inches off my hips this week.
4.  I've lost 0.5 inches off my upper thigh this week.
5.  My fat % is down.
6.  My muscle % is up slightly.

I'm pretty excited for only one week.

According to the Hormone Diet Book, women should have a waist measurement of 35 inches or less and a waist to hip ratio of 0.8 or less.  I have 4 inches to lose on the waistline and a way to go on the ratio, too.  My hips and waist are both getting smaller, so the ratio's not improving!

Anyway, here is me after week 1:
