I've been active all week. I stepped up a level on my workouts. That has put some extra stress on my body which I needed to keep progressing. It took me a while to get comfortable with the routine, but I have the hang of it now.

I developed a bit of hip pain. I went to stand from sitting position the other day and my leg slipped out of joint for a second. It has been sore ever since. Thankfully it doesn't hurt when I exercise. It typically only hurts when I lift my leg or swing it around. I hope it improves soon. My husband tells me all the time my body will start hurting randomly all over as I age. I am trying to avoid that, but I can accept a little pain here and there.

I am still doing well on my eating plan. I haven't had much trouble sticking to 1400 calories per day. I use my exercise calories every now and again, so that allows me to have an extra dessert or some junk food here and there. I've noticed my sodium intake is higher than I would like some days, so I plan to keep a better eye on that going forward.

I hope everyone is having a good week and I wish everyone a healthy weekend. We haven't heard from a lot of folks in a while, so I'd love to hear how everyone else is doing. Blessings.
