  Yesterday when I was at the gym,

  I took a measurement of my height.

  Lo and behold,

  I was 1 cm shorter than usual.

  I did not understand this, I thought something was wrong, so I kept repeating.

  But the result was the same.

  I dont understant what happened and why it's like this.

  Looks like someone did too much dead lifts... xD

  I didnt lift any weights.....

  I have a feeling I might have lost more than just 1 cm.

  I had not measured my height for years......but I remember it was more.

  So maybe I lost 2 or 3 cm.

  At the moment I am still puzzled but I suspect it might have to do with aging.

  Maybe I should drink Anlene from now.

  Always wear the  same shoes or be bare footed when taking your height.

  Simple.

  The logic is that the difference when you measure your height the 1st thing right after you wake up and the last thing before you sleep can be as much as 2cm, due to the spine. When you sleep and stretch your spine before you wake up, your spine is relaxed and thus lengthens. As you do your daily activities, your spine springs back due to gravity pull.

  A similar thing is that your feet are usually a little bit bigger at the end of the day because it swells with blood and fluids when you walk around. That's why people usually buy shoes half a size bigger to give some allowance for the feet to expand, making you feel comfortable as the day goes by.
