OUCH!!

All day I was still having some pain. It's my right lower hip bone..and it hurts! I decided to go ahead and push through it and attempt a workout. I tried up-ing my time to 2:30 segments of running instead of just 2:00. It was fine at first, but after about 20 minutes the pain just got worse. I had to continue at 2 minute segments towards the end but I ended up still improving with 18 minutes total running time. Towards the end, I felt like I was going to throw up; I think part of that was from the pain.

I reviewed my food journal today and realized that I haven't had any sugar today. Usually I intake it from fruits, but today I just had veggies, protein, and non-fruit complex carbs. That could have been part of my fatigue tonight, but I'm not really sure. I'm still in a lot of pain and I'm thinking that if it doesn't improve by tomorrow, I might take an extra rest day. I do not like the idea of doing that, but if I'm hurting like this, it might be my body telling me it's time to rest.

One thing that is so nice: having the temptations go away for a little while! I had a full week of children and friends bringing me cookies, candy, and everything else I can't have. It was so nice to just be at home today and eat what I have. I'm finding more and more foods that I love so I think I'm going to end up being just fine. I'm really proud of myself for not intaking even an ounce of those awesome goodies! Woo Hoo!!

Ok, I'm going to go soak in a hot tub for about an hour! I'm excited!! :0)
