By and Bye
a blog about a girl getting rid of some extra pounds.hip injury
I did something to my hip earlier at the end of week 4, twisted the ligament or what have you. It feels sort of like twisting your knee but at the hip. I tried to work through it in most of week 5 but it was getting worse instead of better. It has still been bothering me but it is slowly getting better. So my plan is to restart up on Thursday with week 5 -day 4 cardio, Friday week 5 – day 3 strength training/day 5 cardio, Saturday – day 6 cardio, Sunday – day off, Monday – week 6, and hopefully my hip won’t start acting up.
My other plan of attack is to up the resistance on the gazelle. It is taking me more work to keep my heart rate up than what it took when I initially started. So I think this past week my legs were flailing about at a ferocious rate, hence the hip hurt.
My other plan of attack is “I ain’t gonna feel bad about it!”

I recently went to the bookstore and picked up my new favorite book The Eat Clean Diet, by Tosca Reno. The book is a wealth of information that I am devouring. I am anxiously looking forward to her second book coming out The Eat Clean Diet Cookbook. I have a gazillion cookbooks on my bookshelf and am looking forward to being able to cook out of one without worrying about what it will do with my health.

sluggish
The past few days I have been feeling pretty sluggish. My thyroid medicine has run out and I had a midnight realization that this could be contributing to it. I ran out of my 100mg and have been taking my leftover 88s until I can see the doctor next Wed. I also think the gravity of the toxicity of my MIL’s visit has been working the kinks out too, both with me and with my husband. I am super sensitive and it is really difficult being around someone who is sooooo negative and doesn’t know appropriate behavior.
I am strong.
In my body, in my heart and in my soul.
I am proud of myself,
for sticking with my plan,
for battling myself to workout today when I really felt like napping on the couch,
for realizing toxicity.
I will stick to my vision,
I will realize my goals.
I will live my dreams.
I am super proud of my husband who came home today and was feeling shitty and went upstairs all on his own, with no prompting or me trying to influence him verbally, and lifted weights and got on the gazelle. I couldn’t tell you when the last time he did either. This is the best support I could have ever asked for.
