Injured, what now?


I've got good news and I've got bad news today.  It is Week 3 Day 2 of my P90X3 journey, and I'm happy to say, I got it done!  I've done this many times, but it still can be tough.  The more I do it, the harder I push, and the more I can do.  Anyway,  that's the good news. :)


Stay Focused Quote


The bad news is that I seem to have tweaked my back or lower left hip while doing some plyo lunges(jump lunges).  It was towards the end of the work out, and once I felt it I had to revert to doing some modifications for every exercise after.  I know you're probably thinking I must have had bad form with caused this injury.  That's possible, but I really do pride my self on concentrating on good form.

So what now?  Well, my plan is to rest it out.  This has happened to me in the past, and it will take a few days to go away.   Although I cannot workout, I will keep my mind right and stay focused.  What I mean is that I will not thing, this is the end of my fitness journey.  I will not think, "I can eat junk, because what's the use".  I will be thinking about what I will be doing once I have recovered.  I will think that this is a great time to rest and recover since, I am usually go, go, go, all the time.  I will keep in mind that I will be back at it embracing the suck in no time.  I have a race this weekend, and I am hoping that I am recovered by then.  I leave it up to God.  All I can do is wait and see.


Anyway, that's a little update on my fitness journey.  I am still smiling, not letting it get me down.  For those of you injured right now.  Keep your head up.  It will get better.  Keep your focus on the goal.  You can reach it, if you believe you can.
