Health Group- Year 3, week 4

Hi there!

Once again, I’m happy to say I exercised very well. And once again, I’m sorry to say, I ate like a pig. I think my body is trying to maintain its sick sense of “balance”, because even I can’t believe how much crap I’m eating.

But enough of that.

Monday I did my 35 minutes of treadmill.
Tuesday I spent celebrating the fourth of July, and didn’t do my weights and physical therapy, but I picked up the PT on Wednesday and still got in Wednesday’s treadmill.
Thursday I did weights and physical therapy.
Friday I did my treadmill, and was even going to push it to 40 or 45 minutes, but for some reason my hip started hurting really bad. I had to slow down to finish the 35 minutes I’m used to and had a hard time walking the rest of the day. Today, it’s touchy.

I have no idea why or how. I wasn’t jogging. I haven’t done anything stupid. I’m doing my physical therapy, which includes some modest hip exercises and stretches.

Whatever.

I’m really hoping that it corrects itself by Monday so I can get on the treadmill again. I’ve got momentum. I don’t want to stop because my stupid hip hurts.

Today I need to fit in weights and PT and I’ll have another solid week of exercise behind me, bringing it to a total of three consecutive weeks!

I’m saying it again. Three weeks!!!!! Yay me!!!

I’m still up at 226 on the scale, and I don’t wonder. Even with as open and shameless as I am to publicize my weaknesses and goof ups on my blog, I can’t bring myself to tell you just how bad my food consumption has been.

So, now that I’m in a good exercising habit at the moment (ignoring the hip and thinking positive), I’m going to work on my diet next week.

Really, I am. My clothes are pathetic again. Either they’ve lost their shape, don’t work with my nursing bra, or are stained and spotted. So I need new ones, and I want to hold out buying them until I drop a size. Or get more desperate than I am now.

All in all, I’m happy to be doing better than I have in over a year.

How was your week?
