Haven't been able to eat much the last few days, and am feeling low energy. My stomach has felt somewhat irritated and I get full much more quickly. Not sure what's going on, but I think it's normal from time to time to have irritation.
So I've lost a total of 53 pounds as of this morning. Yesterday was 9 weeks since surgery. I can't complain about the weight loss.
I walked yesterday for maybe 15 minutes, and my hips hurt. So frustrating that I'm dealing with this at age 39. I only hope that as I lose more weight, the joint issues get better. My feet are already better by far, so I have high hopes.
Leaving for Tampa Thursday (provided the Miami Airport fires are extinguished) and look forward to putting my toes in the sand!

Doing the "cobbler's pose" before walking might help with the hip pain. It really helps open up your hips and inner thighs. This is a good video clip about correct form.

Another thing that might help is shortening your strides. I tend to take really long strides and I found the outside of my hip and my shins really bothering me. When I shortened the strides, it eased up on the pain significantly.
If you plan on doing walking in the sand while in FL (JEALOUS!!!!!), be sure to use short strides because the sand will pull at your feet more and cause you to place additional pressure on your ankles, shins and hips.
Have fun in Florida...if you find a hot surfer that will fit in your bag, please bring him back for me!
thanks for the link to the video. I will give it a try. And I'll see what I can do about the hot surfer for ya. ;-)
