Injury Update & Workout Schedule! 10/21-10/27
Happy Monday everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful and relaxing weekend. I had a very restful weekend mixed with good people and good food. I tried out an amazing Indian restaurant on Saturday night and had lamb, which is NOT a usual food for me, and loved it!! I had to provide a picture below! :)
I also went to a fun pumpkin patch yesterday, which made it finally feel like Fall, minus the hot weather we are experiencing here. Overall, it was a great weekend!
Injury Update:
My hip and knee have been healing nicely ever since I have been taking it easy activity-wise. My hip pain is 90% gone, but seems to have moved on to my knee. Thankfully, this pain is subsiding as well. My cousin gave me some great icing and stretching tips, which have been working out great! I have also been doing the elliptical for about 30 minutes a day, which helps me get my cardio in without being too strenuous on my hips and knees. Since my pain has been getting better, I am hoping to fit in a short run later on this week, depending on how things go! Here is my tentative workout plan for the week!
**I also decided to provide the machines/exercises I typically do for my toning work instead of just the body parts I work. I hope this helps! I plan to get more and more detailed as I go along with my workouts and schedules, and once I have more time after I take my RD exam!
