I tried to walk this morning, but I didn't make it even halfway down the road before I turned back and went home because I still hurt to much. Ugh!

I finally figured I would try to do pilates because I have most of the pain when I put weight on my right leg. I have a gentle beginner's pilates video I like on YouTube and was able to do that without pain, even the leg lifts. I may be a little sore from it tomorrow but hopefully not too bad. It's not walking or running which I prefer but at least it's some exercise and the end of the video is stretching, so that's nice.

My doctor suggested a couple brands of protein drinks today. I had a can of soup with 20 grams of protein and a few pieces of cheese with a lot of protein. I'm not sure on dinner.

I ended up eating about 1480 calories and 118 grams of protein. For dinner I had one of each of those protein drinks with 30 grams of protein each and then my cheese had 36 and my soup had 20 grams of protein.

My carbs are pretty low. My sodium is a bit high but only about 2,350 or so. My goal is to stay under 2300.

I did pilates again today I'd rather be able to walk, but I have to say, this is one frustrating injury & I cannot wait for it to heal! I am a bit sore from the pilates though even though it's a basic beginner video!

Take it easy blueberry and don’t be afraid to skip moves that hurt. I once made my sciatica worse by overdoing yoga.

I didn’t feel it this morning as the wind was gusting and it was a little rainy but went out in the aftermath of yesterday’s bad weather. Unfortunately there was quite a few patches of localised flooding so I had to alter my route, a little less than 5k and I felt it. The leaves have really dropped and blocked the drains hence the flooding, hoping no more comes down today.

Bit the bullet this morning and went out even though the weather was foul again, it was okay but hard work, I think last week’s donation is still impacting. At least the flooding was cleared but there’s more rain coming down.

Did 30 min on the treadmill. Took maybe a week or so off exercising. Idk why. Part of it was lack of motivation and part of it was struggling with anxiety. But I’m glad I’m back to it now because I think the endorphins help my anxiety.

Awesome @Blue_Bird! I have been doing pilates lately though I took today off. I really want to be able to walk and jog again, but I just have to be patient until I heal.

I think I'm eating less but I'm not really sure. We got Burger King for lunch and I took about 3 bites of the burger. But I ate the fries. I'm eating more in the morning and less at night.

I've been drinking this water called Bubblr. It has caffeine in it but only has 5 calories per can. The carbonation is fine on my stomach. That and Spindrift lemon tea sparkling water are helping me kick the soda and coffee habit. I've only had 78 carbs today. Although I could probably use some. I've had 73 grams of protein.

Have you tried The Bridge pose in yoga? I really recommend it and think it’s effective in tightening up your abs without straining the back.

I'm not very hungry today. But I've had enough protein. Maybe too much. I wish I had some take and bake sourdough bread.

I kinda feel like Oprah right now "I love bread!" All I have in my house though is 7 grain Ezekeial. Not the stuff you really want when you have a bread hankering. I did find some take and bake sourdough I put on my shopping list.

Currently today I'm at 765 calories, 104 carbs, and 46 grams of protein.

My mom is going to see the lack of dishes in the dishwasher and say "what did you eat?" Because I've mainly been eating a lot of cheese wedges and drinking protein shakes my doctor told me to drink but not to rely on.

I think my pulled groin muscle is slowly (very slowly) improving. If it weren't so hot outside, I would try a gentle walk at least around the block but it's 96F outside right now. I was thinking if I don't hurt too much tomorrow morning, maybe then I can try either a gentle walk or pilates. I tried pilates a couple days last week but then it seemed to make things worse so I gritted my teeth and took 4 or 5 days or so off. I like to exercise in the early morning best, but morning is also the time of day when that injury seems to hurt the most.

Little 5k pad out this morning, it’s warmed up a little so I got hot and had to put my jacket around my waist. I felt okay, a little out of breathe towards the end but not bad so hopefully my blood replenishment is getting there.
