stretching

The last 2 days my left hip has been bothering me.  I have had this problem before and it never really amounts to anything so I am hoping that is the case this time.  What I need to do is make sure that I do lots of stretching and maybe some icing at times.  I guess I could do that right now while I am writing this post.  Ice pack now on the hip.  I know that stretching is important so I need to promise myself that I will stretch after every run.  I have a PT appt this morning too.  I am excited for that.  I know it will kill me but it will be awesome after.

I had my weekly WI yesterday and was down 2 lbs for a total of 14.8 lbs (actually more then that if I go by my weight in nov...total of 18.2 lbs since then).  I am happy with how my weight loss is going.  I really would like to have 5 lbs off my the day we leave for the cruise.  I will just have to make sure I don't have any BLT's that I don't account for.

I really need to do some meal prep this week on my days off.  I don't really have anything made right now and I am having a hard time coming up with meal ideas.  I could make a couple of different soups...sweet potato soup and maybe some chicken chili.  I think I will buy a back of chicken breasts and cook them up in the slow cooker.  Have some to put in the sweet potato soup for protein and then some for chili.  I will buy the chicken tomorrow.

I am feeling so good mentally and hope this motivation continues and that I can make this a lifestyle change.  I have been totally avoiding having sweets which I think is the best decision for me as they seem to set me off into binging.

Have a great day.
