Better Today

Sorry if this is detail you don't want (or need!) to know.

But I have indentified the culprit.

Hormones.

I have an appointment with a specialist in this area for March 1st.

In the meantime I will take it one day at a time and NEVER give up.

Thank you for the support and comments.

It helps keep me accountable knowing people are reading this blog!

I will be the best, healthiest, fittest version of me.

I will remember that this journey IS NOT OPTIONAL.

I may have meals, days or even a couple of days off track.  But they will be the exception.  And they will always end with me going back to what works.

PS

The past week reinforces that I MUST get my core strength done as often as possible because cardio would make me feel so much better right now.  Once a week is just not doing it for me.

But as promised to myself and others, I will do 3 sets of core work outs this week with 2 cardio sets next week as my reward!  (C25K week 1, repeated)

For those that have no idea what I am on about: I have a hip injury that is like tennis elbow.  It is made worse through use of my hip.  The first part of the 'cure' is core strengthening, so that I stop reinjuring myself.  Sadly for my hip I love cardio - especially running - and tend to push it too hard too soon.  I love cardio for the way it makes me feel.  Mentally, emotionally as well as physically.  I am not a fan of core work, especially planks.  Extra especially side planks.  But with cardio as my reward I will do my core work 3 times this week! (I did it on Monday already, so two to go).
