I did not go to the gym tonight because I was losing time and I have to read a bunch of stuff for work. I went over on my RDI, but not too badly. I walked the dog for 30 minutes. I am feeling so guilty, though, about the not having a gym workout. I must go tomorrow! I wish I could just head in straight from work, but that's what everyone does and you have to park goodness knows where and walk in the dark, and it's cold and creepy, so no. But tomorrow night I will go! My hip did great today, I didn't even think about it. Tomorrow I will be ready to run.

I have just returned from going out to a bar with my cousins. I feel like I did pretty good on my RDI from yesterday - didn't get a chance to journal before midnight. The theme at the bar was "Meatfest" and it was a huge BBQ with live music. I brought a sandwich to eat there, and I was so tempted by all the barbeque that I ate two hot dogs with no bun, dipped in mustard. It was below 1500 calories. I think that's pretty good for 7 hours at a bar with barbeque. I did no smoking, I did no drinking, I did no other substances. I drank Diet Pepsi and got a little caffeinated, but that is ok. I definitely am going to the gym in the morning and I am going to do my best to knock out 4 miles. My hip feels fine, I took a little ibuprofen, but I feel okay. Grateful for being able to party but do it sanely.

I feel really proud of myself today. I injured my hip running a couple of weeks ago, and hadn't been in the gym in about a week and a half. A few days ago I went back to the gym and ran 2 miles on the treadmill. I didn't want to push it. I have been so busy that I haven't gotten back to the gym until today. I swore I would run my 4 full miles, and dang it, I did. I was worried that if I don't start back with my old distance I will lose the conditioning and toning, and then it will be harder for me, then I will start making excuses and my running will drop off and I'll lose everything I have worked so hard for. My hip gave me a little trouble at 3.93 miles - can you imagine? I finished up and came home and took some ibuprofen. I will probably try to go to a class tomorrow and not run, but I feel so good having run. Just these past couple of years I have gotten into basketball, NBA basketball. I could watch any basketball game, that's how much I love it, but my favorite player is James Harden. I just feel like a fit, 4 mile running, salad eating badass just like James. Well, not really, but I do. I love that basketball players are so incredibly fit, and they run up and down the court like crazy and work so hard. When they're not playing, they are working out, lifting weights, getting stronger. I just love the whole thing. Liking basketball challenges me to be better. I also love that basketball players are lean and fit, and they are not trying to be muscley gigantors like other sports. Just nicely muscular and super fit. I watch women's basketball occasionally, too, but I prefer watching NBA ball. That's what's going on in my mind this week!

I got off track as my diet calendar shows tonight. However, I have a very good reason. My blood sugar has been very low lately. For dinner, I had an individual pizza, and my blood sugar 2 hours after eating was 96. I was pretty alarmed because normally I eat dinner around 6 or 7 and then I don't eat again until morning. I felt like with my blood sugar that low, I needed to eat again. I didn't want to have my blood sugar drop dangerously low in the night while I'm asleep. So I ate some healthy snacks. I did eat some sugar free pudding and some sugar free ice cream bars, but I was trying to get my sugar up with some carbs. It's 10 pm, and my blood sugar is finally at a more normal level since I ate all those snacks. Tomorrow is another day. On a good note, my hip has totally stopped hurting. I think I'll be able to run my 4 miles tomorrow at the gym.

Today is day 3 of being on track. I hope. I'm getting ready to go to the gym, and barring I don't have some kind of attack, I will go to bed when I get home and day 3 will be successful. I am not hitting the RDI's of 1200 calories, but I'm coming in just under 1300. This is a victory for me. If I set the RDI at 1300, I will eat up to almost 1400. That's no good. So I set it at 1200, and I know I will pretty much "stretch" it to 1300. Still, if I can limit myself I know that will work. I have a dozen crazy little psychological things about food. I am getting ready to go back to the gym and run a mile tonight and see how that feels. I haven't been for a week and a half, I actually am really looking forward to it. I have a new job as a counselor for the Department on Aging, and the older people I am seeing all have similar health problems - diabetes, obesity, heart disease, COPD. They cannot walk, they cannot bathe, dress or cook, they are totally immobilized by their health condition. It's such a wakeup call. That could totally be me in 20 years. I'm 40 now, and if I can really make a lifestyle change and can really DO something about my habits, I will thank myself when I'm 60. I will REALLY thank myself when I'm 80 if I get there. So thing about it - "someday" is going to come for all of us - some of us sooner and some of us later. I don't want to be in my 80's, so obese that family members or even staff can't lift me or turn me, and so bad off I can't walk by myself, let alone the more personal stuff. I am the only one that can do this. I am really grateful that I am learning this lesson.
