I KNEW that they would be worse than when I had them done 3 or so months ago. I have not been going to the gym all summer, although I've kept up (mostly) with my cardio by running and walking. But I knew going in that my measurements would be worse than the last time. So why did I go?
Because I still think it's important to measure the "current" me against where I've been... or where I COULD be.
I've noticed that I've been doing that lately in a lot of areas of my life:
--Am I staying in touch with friends and family enough?
--Am I spending quality, not just quantity, time with my children? How about my husband?
--Am I reading my Bible enough? Praying?
--Am I refraining from gossip? Along the same lines, am I encouraging others enough?
--Am I being consistent in raising my children?
I don't ever want to fall into the trap of comparing myself with others... God made me who I am, so I just want to be the best ME I can be. I just need to keep up with my measurements...

If the other measurements kept up with my body measurements, I'd be one incredible person!
It's hard not to compare--in every arena. You're right, though. It's our own journey of growth (or loss, if that's the desired measurement).
Wow - great blog! I'm proud of you. That's something I've been working on lately, or at least trying to - not comparing myself to others. I think that's so hard for women for some reason! But I just have to remember what you said: God gave me my own talents and gifts, even if I don't think they "measure up" at times.
