Day 66 – Black Friday
Today has been one crazy day and I hope everyone made it through the day safe. I myself didn’t go out into the shopping craze until around 10am but the malls were still packed. I was able to pick up this furry winter coat for $87 and this scarf for $10 plus a cool blue shirt. 🙂
I was shopping with some cousins and my girlfriend which was a bunch of fun, after I got home my new makeup came which I was super excited about. I think later after I’ve used it more I will review some of the things I bought.
I gained like 5 pounds on thanksgiving which isn’t surprising. I’m getting a little more fat on my tummy but I am still getting more on my chest and hips. My chest is almost always tender so I have to be careful how I lay in bed and try not to bump into things. As odd as that may sound, it happens. I’ve been more stable recently, partially due to my new meds and the hormones but I feel more at ease with myself and my body. My girlfriend says I am soft and cuddly so the hormones must be working!
Weight: 178

Day 61 – Raving Mad
I’ve been having so much fun this weekend I totally forgot to post an update! I spent the past few days hanging out with a friend of mine and we’ve been having a good time. We actually went to the Alternative Prom I was talking about together. The Alt-Prom was a pretty fun event put on by my schools GLBT alliance, it is GLBT month so there are a lot of events going on.  We had a good time and she stayed over a few nights this weekend. :3
My nipples are still hurting, the right side has a solid core under it and the left side is on it’s way. One thing I haven’t talked much about is sex drive, thats right SEX. My sex drive has dropped considerably since I started taking hormones. Also, sperm production seems to be lowering and becoming more intermittent. I’m feeling good about where I am and I get to see my endo again on December 1st to see about upping my dose, woot. Also, tomorrow marks my second full month of being on HRT!!

Day 55 – Tuxedo junction, what’s your function?
Hello world, nothing too major has changed since my last update but I took some more pictures! I hooked my laptop up to my HDTV and looking at my blog this big is really awesome. It’s like a wall of gingertrap. 😉
My chest is definitely hurting more, I don’t know how many times I’ve already said it but it keeps getting more noticeable (which is a good thing). That means they are growing! The right side is puffier and hurts more than the left but I am not concerned.
Oh! I got some new eyeliner and mascara from Maybelline and so far I like them a lot. The Liner is called unstoppable and comes in a mechanical twist pencil that is really easy to apply and smudge. The Mascara, which I’ve only used once is called Define-a-lash waterproof mascara. I like the applicator the most because it is thinner and made out of some sort of flexible rubber that makes it easy to get all your lashes. The consistency is a lot thinner than the GREAT LASH mascara they have which is good because I found that clumped up too much. I took a shower and pretty much all of my mascara is still in place, so it is definitely waterproof. I ordered a bunch of other makeup supplies so in the future i will be talking a bit about them!
Until next time,
Abbey
Updated Measurements
Today I took some updated measurements to see how my body has chanced after 51 days on hormones. There are definitely some small noticeable changes going on.
Across the Shoulders: 16.5″
Around the Shoulders: 41.5″
Around the Upper Arm: 11″ -0.25″
Around the Forearm: 10″
Bust: 35.5″ +0.50″
Under Bust: 33″
Natural Waist: 31″ +1.25″
Belt line: 36.5″ -1″
Hips: 41″ +1.00″
Thigh: 23″ +0.75″
Calve: 15.5″ +0.50″
Length of Back: 21″
Length of Arm: 24.5″ -0.50″
Waist-Hip Ratio: 0.756 Â +0.012″
Waist-Shoulder Ratio: 0.747Â +0.030″
Weight: 171
Green means that the measurement is going towards my ideal figure and red means it is going farther away from it. I am happy to see my hips getting bigger and my bust as well, but I wish my waist stayed thinner to keep that low o.7″ Waist-hip ratio, but at the same time my waist-shoulder ratio went up which is a good thing. I think it is time I start doing some cardio to burn off my old unwanted fat.

Day 51 – New Timeline Pictures
I took a few pictures to document my breast growth and added them to the timeline section.
Later this afternoon I am going to take some measurements and compare them to my prior numbers.
Ciao!
