My hip is still killing me. OK, it is not KILLING me, but it is
BUGGING the CRAP out of me! Oh wait, not really, because when I don't
run I get so constipated that I can't see straight!!!! I am not sure
what my problem is. I hope Brady clears me for running tomorrow,
but it may be another week. ARGH.... I am feeling a little
Eeyore-esque today. Ho hum, don't mind me. I need a 10 miler to kick
my booty into gear. No wait, maybe if I do laundry for 72 hours
straight I will feel the love ;)

72 minutes yoga. Fall is here. I used to LOVE the Fall when I weighed a lot more. I have been FROZEN for 2 days now. I would be in love with fall if I didn't know that WINTER was coming to try to freeze me to DEATH!!! Plus, our furnace is DEAD and we need to get a new one asap. I really don't want to pay for a new furnace :( I'd better get in the shower and then call the furnace guys. Does anyone have a furnace guy they like???
Opening up to gratitude
Skill Level: Novice
Style: Kundalini
Focus: Full Body, Grounding, Twists, Ailment Specific, Chakras
Length: 51:18
Instructor: Sarah Kline
The aim of yoga is to open up completely: physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually in order to receive. Set an intention to give and receive thanks in your life in this introductory sequence with Sarah. Rather than letting your mind shift to thoughts of outward appearance and display in postures, keep your focus on your breath and find inner awareness that leads to gratitude. Appointment with Dr Brady- I am off running for at least another week, possibly up to 4-6 :( I am going a bit bonkers. He is not sure why my hip is not chilling out. He wants me on ibuprofen for 3 days. If it causes water retention, like it has in the past, I must go off.

| | The furnace guy just left. I am feeling better about having to get a new furnace. :) I will be WARM!!! I am off to do an hour of yoga. Dr Brady said at least one more week off of running. I am pretty depressed about the whole thing. He said it could be as long as 4-6 weeks since my hip is not getting over it's self. He has me taking Ibuprofen for 3 days and then off. If I start to retain water then he wants me off asap. It all will take longer to heal without the anti inflammatories, but my kidney health is #1. Yesterday I ate my sorrows away, so today I am up from that, but I will be perfect through the next three days to make sure any weight gain is NOT from a binge of mine. I am still SO happy about my weight. I realize that for you skinny (short) runners, I weigh a TON, but for me, I am a twiglett ;) Having been 255.5 lbs, and now to be less than when I even got married, it SO huge for me :) We are going to have to change David's nick name to Single D ;) I guess there are still 2, so that would be a double D ;) Hmmmm.... I need to call Brady to see if I can bike. He was so surprised that my hip was not better and I was so stumped on the no running, that I forgot to ask if I could still bike. I do have to say that I really am liking being SO lazy and not getting up early. It scares me at how used to sleeping in I have gotten ;)

and focus it on a specific target, and hold it there, you're never
going to accomplish as much as your ability warrants."
~Zig Ziglar PS- I am in a whiny bad mood about not being able to run :(::::::::::::::::: I almost went against Dr's orders and ran today anyway. I stayed in bed until about 2 when David dragged me to Costco. My hip was hurting this morning a bit more than it has been, so I skipped the bike ride. I read Shape magazine. I did go get some new running tights at Runners Corner today :) My first pair. I need to fix dinner, but I REALLY want to go out to dinner. I'd better publish before another gush of whine hits...
