Doom! Despair! and Agony!

Day 33

There's an old song that goes "Doom, despair, and agony on me. If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all. Doom, Despair and Agony on me."

I have been working out religiously six days a week for about 5 weeks now. For the most part it's been great. I've been getting stronger by the day. But, about a week ago, I started feeling pain in my left hip off and on. Last night... BAZINGA...it hit me like a brick. I was already super sore from a hard core upper body work out the day before. But, this was beyond just sore. It hurt.

Sidelined. Boo!

I spent today being a bit afraid and bummed out. I don't want to give myself an "out". Despite the fact that this is day 33, it's still all very new. Then, I thought about how I could get through this challenging day without letting myself down and without causing further injury.

Yes. My hip hurts. But, not all the time. Only when I do certain movements like lunges, squats and that stupid Wii Hula Hoop game. (I'm almost positive the freakin Hula hoop did it to me). It's a cardio day. I can do that right? So, I nixed the Hula Hoop game and went for it.

I'm still in some pain tonight. But, I made it through cardio unscathed. I'm dealing with the sciatic pain and keeping my nutrition in check. That's the best I can do. and, that's enough. Screw Doom... despair and agony. They can go bother someone else. I'm busy.

Cheers!
