resting hip, trying a new chiropractor today that April referred me to. My hip just feels like it is out of place and needs to pop. When just standing feel very lopsided. Hopfully he can put me back into place. Cross your fingers and pray. I am going crazy right now!!

55 min elipitcal at gym, OB dr wanted me to try physical therapy that specialize in womens health issues. So went and tried and dont think I will go back. She thinks its my piriformis muscle that spasmd and is pinching some nerves.  Who knows, all I know is that it really really hurts and has not let up hardly at all. It is the sharpest pain with every step, getting up and down and any sudden rotation. I am embarrassed to go anywhere because I know people are thinking I must be in labor with the way I walk.

Thank goodness for the elipitcal although I hate it, but it is helping keep me sane....somewhat.

did some weights upperbody

Yayyy! I can almost walk with no pain. I can feel my hip a little but I no longer walk with a limp and the sharp pain is GONE. I decided to completely rest it for more than 1 or 2 days. So I have not done the elipitcal this week so far. Tonight or tomorrow I will start back up on it and then hopfeully add some power walking outside or on the treadmill and get back to my twice a week weights too. I really want to try to some lgt running miles this weekend but dont know if i dare. I just feel really large right now but am trying hard to watch what I eat so i dont pack on uneccesary weight. For some reason its easier for me to eat really good when I am working out. Thanks for everyone for all the nice comments and for thinking of me!

60 min on elipitcal at gym, (21 min on the one without the push and pull with arms and 39 on the one with the arm motion).They guy next to me passed some wind and I thought I was going to vomit for a second. It was the worse I ever smelled!   On the plus side I couldnt feel anything in my glute/hip doing the elipitcal but just felt tight when I got off, came home and did some of the stretches the PT showed me last week and then some upper body weights. Feel the best I have so far, walking around the house I feel back to normal. I have to go out and run errands and hopfully it will stay that way even with walking around alot.  I thought I might try running today after the elipitcal but decided not too yet.... Maybe tomorrow or next week.....

Going to go buy a foam rolller today to use on my hips, I have talked to many runners who use one and love it.

30 min power walking (2miles) at incline and then 60 min elipitcal. This felt better walking first and then elipitcal after. Did upper body weights at home.

60 min elipitcal followed by walking at incline on TM for 30 min (2miles). This routine is getting very boring, but at least its something. Can really feel the pressure on my back and hips. I am so ready to be done and I cant wait to get back to running! Getting closer, just a little over a month left. I am just praying he comes a little earlier, not much but a little would be nice! :)
