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.
