tally ho watso - war on flab

watso has declared war on flab, and has acquired some high tech help.

1. dress makers tape measure - for hip/waist measurements - so that watso can calculate his waist/hip ratio.. mmmm just looking in the mirror tells watso that his waist is too big. the joke is that to know where to measure the waist, then suck in - and the narrowest spot is the waist - which in the case of watso happens to be the widest spot.

waist measurement this morning....115cm

2. bathroom scales - once again, watso does not need scales to weigh himself, to know that he is overweight. just for fun, watso checked out some new scales - and liked one, which was a bit more friendly - but then bought one which instantly made watso 3kg heavier - but measured body fat and body water percentage.

measurements this morning

...weight 108.6kg
...body fat 26.5
... body water 50.5


3. blood pressure monitor - watso's blood pressure is always good - but bought one anyway. BP readings tend to fluctuate a bit during the day - but 115/75 would be about right.

it seems that the desired waist to hip ratio is about 0.9. that would seem to be an impossible task
