Friday Fitday - Measurements Time!

Well, halllooo there! 

Any who, you know last week I said I would be on day 7 of the shred by now? Ummmm.....yeah...fail! I totally forgot how bad my back gets when I actually start exercising, so although I haven't given up, I have taken a few days off to get some proper sleep and rest my back. I'm not too sure what it actually is, I think it may be an old work injury flaring up again, or it may even be a trapped nerve. Either way, it's bloody painful. 

I am doing my next shred tomorrow, which will be day five. 

So far I feel good, the shred has definitely felt easier each day I've done it. More hurting, more sweating, but certainly less out of breath. If all is well, I hope to complete a full week this week. I've discovered that it's amazingly difficult to do with a nine week old puppy in the room though. Haha. Picture Bug sitting on my stomach or chewing my hair/face whilst trying to do the abs section. 

I haven't lost any weight yet, neither have I lost anything inch wise, but I am beginning to feel less bloated and frumpy. I know it's sad, but I always get a little excited when I can see the beginnings of collar bones. I feel way more feminine. 

I imagine you're wondering what my measurements are by now, so without further a do, these are my beginning stats.

Arms - 14" (36cm)

Chest - 41" (104cm)

Waist - 36" (91.5cm)

Hips/Bum - 48" (122cm) Yup, I gots a big toosh.

Thighs - 27.5" (70.5cm)

I've decided not to be so hung up on the numbers on the scale, but more on the the numbers above. As the picture below says, it's not always weightloss that makes you smaller. 

Hopefully by next week I can give you more of a progress update. If you missed my announcement on Twitter earlier this week, you can now follow me on My Fitness Pal at Whenflowersfall. There you will be able to keep up with me daily and check in on my food diaries too. If you do add me and you see I haven't filled in my dairy for the day, please yell at me because I keep on forgetting!! 
I hope you are all doing well with your goals! Make sure you keep me updated!!
