So I've realized I use this blog kind of as a pep talk. It's after 4am, and I feel pretty messed up because it's so easy to sleep in when I don't have to go to work till like 11:30. As I mentioned in my last post, I think I'm basically at the same weight, and I'm not going to get much further down without some real commitment to physical activity. Not really a problem, but it does require a bit of planning for me.

I imagine I'll be very tired on Saturday, but I'm going to try a nice long walk on for size. Anna has hurt her foot recently, so running or going on long treks is not an option for her right now. Still, I think it's possible to find a stretch of time to take a nice long one. Maybe I'll go play in Bloomington in the morning? Or just go down town after a healthy breakfast. Who knows, but tomorrow needs to be healthy.

I've been trying to listen to my body to see what agitates my hip. Seems like everything agitates my hip. I think I can rehab it, but I have to do some serious work to it. I have a contact--Cara's mother is a professional kinesiologist :) That means she prolly knows why my hip hurts when I do lateral movement. It will either require rehab or surgery. If its' rehab, go me. If it's surgery, well I can wait.

In the meantime, gotta get that cardio in. Need to seriously consider a free-weight program. And weights. I'm a P.E. major, yet my anaerobic repertoire is pretty pitiful. If anyone asked me to teach a high school weight training class I'd be sunk lol. Not really, but brushing up on technique and what to do for specific weight training goals IS a must, and soon.

Refresh:
*Burn more calories by walking. Maybe I'll walk to work and have Anna pick me up?
*Eat well.
*Create Anaerobic plan
*Fencing workout
*Laundry situation--how can I optimize my environment so that it is most conducive to working out?
*Go to sleep goddammit
