My Hip and a Good Post

First the not so good news. My hip has been bothering me since my run on Saturday. It actually began to ache during the beginning of the run, but I pressed on. I don't remember it aching again until Sunday sometime. I was on my feet all day Saturday afternoon/evening cooking for Easter and then a lot of Sunday setting out Easter dinner and having guests over. I've never had this kind pain before.

So, Monday I didn't exercise to give my hip a break. Then yesterday I did the elliptical instead of jogging to keep the pressure off of it (I know this helps my knees if they get sore). However, it's still achy. *sigh* So, today I simply went for a brisk 30-minute walk and then did weights for upper body.

I have no intention of hurting myself just to be a runner or very fit. So, I'm taking it a little lighter on the workouts until I am not achy in my hip. I can almost feel it aching direction where the joint sits in the socket. Hhmm..

On a happier, and more encouraging note...if you don't follow Diane over at Fit to the Finish you should go check out her post from today called "When the Fun Fades". It's a very good insight into how to keep going on a weight loss journey even when the "honeymoon" period passes. I found her post so true, because I've quit diets many times in the past because it was no longer "fun" to eat right and exercise.

I hope you're all having a very nice week!
