This week has been an "odd" week for me, I don't usually get aches and pains but, this week, I did. I wonder if part of it was from having to take medication for a migraine that got the better of me on the weekend.
My tail-bone, left femur (upper part of the leg - Long bone) and hips started to ache on Tuesday, bad enough that I didn't want to work out, so I took the day off. All of these areas are places that I have had previous injuries, bad ones... including a hair line fracture of the femur.
Wednesday was a bit better but, still battling the aching tail-bone... but, pushed my way through to a good workout on the elliptical, which has no impact.
Thursday... I just wanted to crawl back into bed, no energy... still achy... but, will probably push through a small workout.
Thing is, I believe that when the body tells you something, listen to it, it doesn't speak with words, but, pain is never a good thing, soreness from a workout, no problem.
So I am not expecting much on the scale next week but, I don't "live" for that either... its the LIFESTYLE change that I am seeking. Eating good and moving, which I did do lol!! fighting a major wind storm to go for a walk.
And... I KNOW... next week will be a BETTER week if I give my body the down time it is seeking right now.
THE MINDSET IS EVERYTHING... now if I were to go all negative, with an "all or nothing" mentality, thinking I have to workout or else!!! Then I become my own worst enemy...
Instead, I consider this a positive thing, my body is responding to all the stress of a new way of life and its saying, "Hang on, wait for me! I'm coming! I just need to catch my breath!"
And of course I am going to wait for you, er Me lol!! Cause I am worth waiting for :o)
Have a great day!!
