Day 32 with measurement updates

Somewhere along the way I lost a day (imagine that lol) but since I am doing this with my BWF (best workout friend) and she is doing a blog, too, I am going to just skip 31 and go right to 32 to match up our days again.  I am too tired and not motivated enough to figure out where my error was.  Rest assured, I have definitely moved at least 20 minutes a day since I began this journey.

Since a month has passed and I have lost over 10 pounds, I thought now would be a good time to see what my measurements are now.  I am happy to say that I lost and gained inches where I should.  Here are my newest stats:

Neck:  14.25 (-0.75)
Chest:  40 (-2)
Waist:  41.75 (-1.75)
Hips:  45.5 (-0.75)
Thighs:  25.75 (+0.25) thanks squats and running haha
Calves:  15.25 (-0.25)
Biceps:  13.125 (+0.125)

I wish I'd been able to do more upper body strength training but unfortunately with this shoulder injury it's been next to impossible.  It's also limited some of my core exercises which is irritating.  The doc says I have 6 more weeks of PT and then we'll re-evaluate but everyone is hopeful that I will eventually be pain free and able to train the way I used to.

That said,  I am very pleased with myself and my results.  I'm excited to see the inches coming off along with the pounds as I become stronger and leaner.

Lately, I've been having some issues with inner knee pain and after researching it I've decided that it was probably my shoes.  I knew for awhile that I needed new shoes but put it off because of the expense.  Today, I finally got to treat myself and got myself these:

My daughter was not happy they weren't pink or purple but I am happy to have some better support before my training really gets tough.  Last thing I need is another injury!

I have big plans for tomorrow.  Since I have a 6 mile run scheduled (as per my training plan) I decided to up it to 6.2 and use it for a virtual race I found at Will Run for Bling (www.willrunforbling.com).  This site hosts virtual races from 5K's to Half Marathons for charity.  The first one I'm doing is The Puppy Love 10K that benefits the Humane Society of the United States.  The medal, which will be shipped in March, looks like this:

I'm pretty excited about this opportunity and I'm hoping I can get outside and won't have to do it on the Dreadmill but we'll see how it goes.  Either way, I will be getting in quite a run tomorrow!

Today, I ran 1.75 miles on the Dreadmill.  Technically, I didn't have a run scheduled but I really love getting in at least 20 minutes on those "off" days.  Before bed I will again attempt some yoga.  I really wish I'd see some improvement in my flexibility but I just keep telling myself it takes time for that and not to rush it.  Enjoy the moment, right?
