Yep, I fell off the running wagon. Between studying for my certification exam and an injury, I stopped trying for a while. My runs went from every few days to every couple weeks. The last run was done after a 4 week break. Despite going back to week two intervals, I was injured. My tibialis anterior threw a fit and would not allow me to walk without limping or going up on my toes. I rolled and massaged, but it just needed rest. The good news? I passed my exam (yay, I'm a certified personal trainer!!!), and my leg is all better now. I am going to restart (and finish) the C25K program, but before I restart it, I am going to do about a month of Walk Away the Pounds just to get my body used to moving again. I'm going to start with the two-mile walk and work up from there as appropriate. In the mean time, I remeasured myself so I have a new starting point. I also put in the differences from the first measurements I took six months ago. The new addition is the waist-hip ratio and body-fat (using the Body Fat Calculator app and these measurements).
Weight: 134.6 lbs (-5.65 lbs)
Neck: 13.25"
Bicep: 9.75" (-1.25")
Forearm: 9.5" (+2")
Chest: 35.25" (-1.25")
Abdomen: 31.75" (-1")
Hips: 36.5" (-0.75")
Thigh: 20.75" (+2.5")
Calves: 13.5" (-0.25")
Waist-hip: 0.87
Body fat: 28.82% (95.8 lbs lean, 38.8 lbs fat)
A healthy waist-hip ratio for women is 0.70-0.80. Right now, I'm on the verge of high risk for chronic health issues. Gotta change that.
