Day 44: 3/27

Today was a work Health Assessment. HAD to get weighed, also got BF% (up 5% from last year), BMI (up 1), Cholesterol (good), Blood Pressure (good), nonfasting glucose (really good) and some other things. I've lost one pound during this 40 day challenge. I am hoping more for inches.

Tonight I am going to the gym to run. I had an assessment done with my running shoes. Pretty much the shoes I have are garbage for me. Well, well, well. I should probably toss these suckers and drop the $110 on the ones that would be best for me. Especially since I have terrible knee pain and plan on continuing running in my future. Also suggested PT because my left side (hip/leg/knee) is really weak. Good news- Health Insurance would cover this!!

1. 20 minutes on CardioWave
2. 30 mins C25K
3. 20 mins CardioWave

Is anyone else getting impatient waiting for spring to arrive? I'm in WI and it's still in the 30's! I want to be active outdoors! Come on Mother Nature!!

    Sounds like you did well at the Health Assessment. And congrats on the one pound! I'm in a challenge with my family for a 5% loss by the end of the month. The boys have already met the 5%...us girls...well, not quite. Still four days to go though!

    I go through walking shoes like they were cheap!!! Ha! I have to get new ones about every four or five months because my knees start hurting. I've been side-lined because I wasn't careful and managed to do something dumb to my knees. I modify my exercises and can't jog or run.

    I'm lucky I live in California! The sun was shining this afternoon, but the wind was up. I walked three miles with my daughter and her b'friend. After 20 mins the cool wind was great!

    60 mins walking three miles
    65 mins on challenges

    Seems I've pulled a muscle in my back...under my left shoulder blade. Pushups and planks are out for a while.

    Four weeks and spring will be here!

    Have a good evening.
