Let's do this!

2 days now without any exercise. I have some serious doubts that taking time off is going to help my problem get better. I can't explain why, but I have doubts.

45 minutes weights and core work.

Having an MRI next week. Going to get down the problem. I don't mean to be a debbie downer on here, but it's just been so hard for me.  I saw the movie tangled twice in December, and the words of a song from that movie (healing incantation) keep going through my head:

Heal what has been hurt
Change the Fates' design
Save what has been lost
Bring back what once was mine

I wish I could reverse the clock and do a couple things different from that week I got hurt.

I've been referred to an orthopedist as of last night. I am so ticked. I better not have a long term problem. Having said that I have gained a few lbs. since the injury occurred and that really bothered me. So an abrupt end to the 'rest'. I was going insane not getting any physical activity anyway.

So this morning I drove to the Gold's in Orem. The gym where I set down my running roots. I saw many familiar faces and being in that gym felt like home. It actually did make me homesick. 

1 hr 35 min elliptical style and totally worth the 15 min drive.

I can't run I can't run I can't run I can't run I can't run I can't run I can't runI can't run I can't run I can't run I can't run I can't run I can't run I can't run I can't run I can't run I can't run I can't run I can't run I can't run I can't run I can't run I can't run I can't run I can't run I can't run I can't run I can't run

Tried running again this morning on the tm for maybe 30 seconds and it just isn't happening. Pain in my asprin. Running please come back to me.

Orem Golds-1 hr 20 min elliptical hell. Weights.

33 minutes of stair master. Totally kicked my trash. But you know me, I didn't just give up and go home. 1 hr elliptical hell for real.

35 min on the stair master and an hour of elliptical. Got to work out with Julie and Kira today and that was pretty fun. It's been awhile.
