Day #87- gym membership today

I walked this morning 4.6k and it felt great. I am experiencing some hip pain, but hopefully will subside soon. It seems to hurt when I am running. I took last week off of running due to the pain and it went away, and then last night went on a nice jog and it starting hurting again. I wasn't doing a correct heal strike and so now I am and now my hip hurts. Before I was running on my toes and everything hurt to my feet, calves, shins and now it is just my hip. Strange, eh?

I decided yesterday to go an renew my membership at the gym. My treadmill is buried downstairs and right now there is no where to put it as with the bowflex. Too much stuff downstairs with renovations.

I will post later to see my results with the gym and with my eating.

Keep it up! It's hard work. I want chocolate! Why me?

Not quite sure what day it is as I haven't been doing that great in keeping track of my meals, my exercise, my steps and my daily walking schedule along with meditation.

Here it is approaching the end of May and I have kind of slacked these last few weeks. I was doing so well in losing the weight and I lost 10 lbs and was very proud of myself. Instead of continuing down that path I started down the path of my old habits. It is hard to stay focused and to keep my hand out of the cookie jar, candy isle, ice cream and whatever else is out there trying to get me to indulge in stuff that isn't good for me. Those food companies don't care about me or what I am struggling with. If they did they would stop putting that junk on the shelves.
