Day Two of a New Chapter

  I am eventually going to have to think of another title..... eventually. Before I talk about this morning, I want to mention something strange/funny/weird - as I said in my Monday post, I weighed myself on our old scale in the kitchen because I hadn't weighed myself since like October. It said I was 158 lbs which was shocking, upsetting but helped knock me back on track. I thought it strange though, because I could still fit pretty well in all my small capris, tights and shorts and undies (I gain the majority of my weight below the waist and it was obvious looking in a mirror that I did gain some). Yesterday I got my new scale off of Amazon - it is the EatSmart Precision GetFit Digital Body Fat Scale & Auto Recognition, it had the best reviews: 4.6 out of 5 stars with 3,695 customer reviews. I got it in the afternoon, and after setting up my profile I weighed myself in the bathroom "sans clothing" and it weighed me at 153.6....... strange but makes more sense even with it being the end of the day and I normally weigh myself first thing in the morning before/after a run. I like this scale lol and that means less lbs to lose before marathon training.

 Okay so this is day two in my new plan, I woke up at 5 AM and got ready for our run. It was 36 degrees out and 9 mph SSW winds, not bad at all. Rocky and I ran 4.2 miles in 44:11 with an average pace of 10:31 min/mile, first half of first mile was off thanks to Rocky suddenly dragging me to the grass so he could poop - I though I hit the stop/pause button but nope, it was going for 1 minute. I did feel some aches in between my right butt cheek and hamstring but it wasn't bad, and it went away after mile 1 or so.
Laps/splits:
Mile 1 - 10:59

Mile 2 - 10:35
Mile 3 - 10:19
Mile 4 - 10:22
.2       - 9:46

  Got back home in time to use the bathroom, then I took my BCAA 6000 tablets, 2 of the Hammer Nutrition Tissue Rejuvenator capsules and one of the Super Antioxidant capsules. 
  This morning was lower body workout which I will be doing at home as most of it involves being on my hands and knees..... and I just don't feel comfortable doing that at a gym lol. I would call this Calisthenics rather than Circuit Training as it involved more of just my body weight as resistance. I know my legs and butt are going to be extremely sore tomorrow, but hopefully I will be able to get a run in. I did 40 minutes of Calisthenics this morning after my run, I will post pictures of each one underneath it so you know what it looks like, this will be my usual routine for a while so I be doing this a lot and making the bloop really long :)
Workout:
Donkey Kicks - 3 Sets of 12 Reps (each leg)
Bridge - 12 Sets of 20 Seconds Each
Active Cat - 3 Sets of 10 Reps (each leg)


Superman - 5 Sets of 12 Reps


Abdominal Roller - 4 Sets of 8 Reps


Dumbbell Side Bends - 4 Sets of 12 Reps - 15 lb Dumbbell


Stability Ball Roll-Up - 4 Sets of 8 Reps


Fire Hydrants - 3 Sets of 12 Reps (each leg)


Raised Leg Crunches - 6 Sets of 20 Reps


Have to be careful on the leg exercises, hopefully I am not doing too much too soon, so I am being cautious. No doubt I will be feeling sore by this evening, hell I am feeling sore right now lol.
