Back on Board

So on Saturday my hip was bugging me a bit. I did some yoga, put on some icy hot, and drank some wine (ok that wasn't for the hip pain). I woke up on Sunday and wanted to cry it hurt so much (ok I did cry). It's just so frustrating, because I didn't do anything out of the normal. On Saturday I did level 2 of Jillian Michael's ripped in 30. There are no outrageous moves in that one (they come in level 3), and I focused on my posture. I made sure to extra stretch out at the end, and was pretty mellow for the rest of the day. So in short, I have no idea what caused it.

What I do know is that I ate my feelings yesterday. I was in constant pain all day and consoled myself in the form of potato chips, spaghetti o's, bread, and donut bites. I felt awful last night as I sat there eating the chocolate pie my mom sent me home with, like I was such a loser for not even trying yesterday. I'm over it, I've moved on, and am looking at the positives. I didn't have fries with my burger last night. I took the breading out of the roll to make it thinner, and healthier. I chose the smallest burger for myself, and finally, I took  a long walk with the puppy (which he loved) instead of just sitting on the couch all day, since I couldn't work out.

And I'm being hard on myself, I didn't eat that much, it was more the reason that I kept on eating that bothers me so much. Moving on, I'm back OP and plan on staying here all week. also, my hip feels a lot better today. Not perfect, but a lot better. I plan on doing a yoga video tonight to get some activity in. Hopefully giving myself a few rest days and taking it easy at the gym will make a difference (I may skip the moves and just focus on my upper body with my weight workouts), and this pesky pain will go away. I won't lie, I'm nervous as to what it could be. But we're not going to think about that right now. As long as it goes away in the next few days, I'm sure it'll be fine. And if it doesn't (or if it comes back), I'll make an appointment with my doctor.

To finish, my meal plan for the week:

Plan for week

I'm doing a lot of cooking/baking tonight, which should make me feel OP. I'm also extremely excited for Thursday night's dinner, let me tell you :-)

Why is the Weather so Confusing?

And why is it always questionable when I take time off work?

As of right now, it is "a couple of thunderstorms" in the forcast for tomorrow. But the hourly forcast has it as sunny until 6-7, which would be AWESOME, but confusing where it is telling me thunderstorms for the daytime. If it does thunderstorm tomorrow, we'll just go kayaking on Sunday, but it's just so frustrating! Every time I'm off work, it's rainy, or cloudy, or something is up. But when I'm stuck in the office, it's always goddamn beautiful outside.

I'm bitter.

The Red Sox game was fun. I mean, they lost, which sucked, but our seats were right next to the foul pole, which was cool because you could tell which we're home runs and which were foul. And we saw a triple play, which I thought M was going to pee himself with excitement, because "that happens maybe once a season, and never at a game you actually watch". I love when he's happy at Sox games. Our record is not good though guys (2-5) , so they really need to step it up and win next month when we go.

In other news I'm a new and improved woman, in case you don't know :-) Last night I hit the gym, and had a great 850 calorie burning workout. It was just one of those workouts that exhausted me, but made me feel great. While I was working out I felt empowered, and not wanting it to end like I have been lately. It was an awesome feeling :-)

But I was exhausted by the end, and am sore today. M and I have plans to grab mexican and drink some beer tonight, which I'm pumped for. Sadly, both those activities aren't exactly weight loss friendly. I've planned ahead, and know the damage I'm going to do (complete with chips and salsa), and it made me realize that just taking a walk won't be enough tonight. So I'm going to attempt to run outside near my house. My initial plan was for tonight to be a high cardio night, but that was before we walked to the red line on Tuesday night, because it was gorgeous outside, and M hates crowds. It was lovely, but I was sweaty afterwards

a solid 2 miles, and we didn't stop at all. So I counted that as some quality cardio to work off the Beer Works beers :-)

But, I'll only have 20 calories left for the day after my food/drink tonight, and I have a feeling I'm not calculating my meal fully (I did the best I could but with restaurants you can never tell), so I'd rather burn some extras to give me a buffer room.

I'm kind of nervous to run outside, it'll be the first time in awhile I've attempted it. But hey, no time like the present, right? Plus if I fail, I can just walk home and I'm still burning calories :-) It's a win win!

I'm so ready for it to be 5pm today. I desperately need this time off. I'm exhausted, need to catch up on sleep and relax for a bit. Plus my sisters leave for school in 2 weeks, so I would like to spend some quality time (not just after work) with them before we move them in. So I'm looking forward to Monday/Tuesday being off work with them, and going biking/hanging out. It's going to be so much fun :-)
