My hip feels slightly better but I can still feel it. I am thinking maybe I won't go to the gym until Saturday. Hopefully it will be all cleared up by then. I am so hungry today. I had some fruit and yogurt for breakfast, then a frozen individual pizza for lunch, and I'm still starving. I didn't eat a morning snack because I'm trying to save my snacks for later. I have an afternoon snack planned and I will probably need it. I think I just need to get used to being hungry. I have been over my RDI so much lately that I'm just used to eating when I get hungry, which is all the time. So I have got to learn to manage my hunger. Probably snacking more would help me. I am trying to eat 5 meals a day like my doctor suggested to me. It's really hard. I really miss being able to have a meal that totally fills you up. 130 calories for breakfast and 440 calories for lunch doesn't really do that. I have spent most of my life being afraid of hunger. Now I've got to embrace it. I generally don't lose weight unless I'm hungry at least some of the time.

Okay, I have had one HELL of a night already and it's only 8:14pm. I started my first day of my new job today, and I am able to go home for lunch. I went home, ate, walked the dog, that was good. I was trying to get myself psyched at 5pm to come home, change, eat and then go to the gym. I did all that, and I decided this little strain in my hip was okay and that I could go to the gym and run. I was fine when I went to the gym, fought for a parking space, and got all the way inside and was ready to lock up my stuff. At that point I realized that I had left my special metal water bottle inside my car and I decided I couldn't work out without it. So I went back to my car in the freezing cold with my calves exposed in knee pants, in a hoodie and a knee length black parka, and retrieved the damn bottle. As I was walking across the parking lot in the dark, I stepped in a flower bed and I felt this omnious jerk and sharp pain in the sore hip that I had not felt before. Somehow, the way I stepped was off and I really did something to my hip, which I had only moderately injured the last time I ran. So I decided to listen to my inner voice of reason, which says hey, if you exercise on that hip, you are going to tear something or rip a tendon or do something that will keep you from running and will cause you excruciating pain. So I gave the hell up and drove all the way home. I am just going to go to bed early and try to have a good day tomorrow. I probably won't be exercising for the next few days until I no longer feel pain in my left hip. So there, I tried to be good, I conscienciously drove myself to the gym at 7:20pm instead of settling in for a night of crap tv, I did it all. And it just didn't work out. Okay, rant over, I just had a bad evening.

I got up early today as a dry run for starting my new first shift job tomorrow. So far so good. I am waiting for a load of clothes to dry and then I will go to the gym. I have never been one of those people who wakes up early on weekends. I have to go to the gym in so many layers now that it's cold. Under my sweats I wear a pair of running shorts and a tee shirt, and then over that I wear a hoodie and a pair of exercise pants. I top that off with a down knee-length parka and I'm good to go. I want to increase my time on the track, but it's still so hard. I also need to do a good arm and ab workout today. It's been 4 or 5 days since I've lifted weights. I should be getting a new pair of running shoes in February and I keep my eyes peeled for sales. I know I should go to a running store to get fit, but I really don't want to pay upwards of 100 dollars for running shoes. I was looking on the Nike website and some of their running shoes are 270 dollars!!!! Almost 300 dollars for running shoes - no effin' way. My progress is good for the 10K. I am up to 4.25 miles, and on January 15th it will be 4.5 miles. Other than that, doing well. Trying really hard to stay on track with food. I had incredible results last week and then I went over my RDI for two days this week so I'm back to trying to string together a whole week below or at my RDI.

I had a very productive day today. I ran errands like crazy all over town - I feel like I spent half the day in the car. I went out to lunch with a friend and had french onion soup and a salad. I went to the grocery store twice today, and discount shopping, and all kinds of crap. I walked the dog, and I was totally ready to not go to the gym, but I made myself get dressed and I went down there and worked out. I did the elliptical and I ran a mile on the track. Not a super intense workout but it was enough. It was better than staying home. And I am getting more comfortable on the track, I am almost getting to the point where I am ready to start adding distance. I also ran faster on the track - I ran a mile almost 2 minutes faster than I do on the treadmill. That's amazing to me. I still am so comfortable on the treadmill, though. If I ran the same distance on the track, I would have to jog 25 1/2 laps. That's really hard to do on a track. It's crowded with people you have to jog around, and it's super easy to lose track of how many laps you're doing. I suppose you could just do it by time, but even that is hard to keep track of. I don't know, I've got a long way to go with this track jogging thing. I am just thankful that my RDI was on target today. Really glad that I decided to go to the gym - you never regret going to the gym, it's just the days that you decide not to that you regret. I have to remember that sometimes.

I ran farther and faster than I ever have today. I ran 4.25 miles at 4.1 mph. That felt really good. I ran for over an hour today on the treadmill. I also lost 2 more pounds! I have lost 4 pounds this week alone! Incredible. I did get off track with the food by eating sugar free candy. Don't worry - I put the rest of it down the garbage disposal. I was just weak and gave in. I intend to get back on track tomorrow. I can't wait to get back to 1200 RDI again - I am so psyched that it is working.
