I was reading over our earlier posts this week and also the "about " sections that we each typed when we started this challenge. I love something that Rachel wrote.
She said, " I want to find balance in all things in life, to not be afraid of food, eating it and not eating it and becoming a fit person for life (no more start and stop exercising when I "have time"..."
Thank you Rachel! I needed to be reminded why I started this challenge. I've mentioned before how I haven't lost weight at all. (Did lose 5 inches though..?) I've also mentioned how hard it is because I am limited in what kind of workouts I can do with my injured hip. Well, this week has been especially depressing. I had 8 x-rays taken of my hip as well as an x-ray taken of my lower lumbar spine. I'll meet with the doctor next week to see what he thinks. I may also have to get an MRI. I just need to tell someone how frustrated I am, looks like you ladies are three lucky "someones" who get to hear it. MY HIP HURTS!!! IT MAKES ME MAD!
I am literally off balance all of the time because of my hip. But I'm off balance in other parts of my life too. I did great drinking water last week but I noticed that I was afraid to eat anything. I can't do my regular walking and I was worried that I'd put on a bunch of weight. I am also not sleeping very well. Too much stress I guess. Brady is leaving for Afghanistan next month and I have a bunch of emotions to deal with.
This week I will strive for balance. I will not give up on exercise. I know I can find fitness routines that I can modify for my hip. I will also start the online food journal in order to keep my diet balanced. And finally, I will work on getting more sleep.
There you have it.
Thanks for listening.
