Hip Flexor...what?!?

Weight : 234.6
Waist : 43
Hips :56
Bust : 53

OK..2 lbs down.  Not as much as I hoped but unfortunately I went a little too hard last week and buggered my hip.  It hurts every time I walk and throbs at night.  I have been told it's my hip flexor and is caused when I don't properly stretch, and sit for long periods.  Usually when I am on the computer! So this week I have to take it easy and just go for walks...no running. So my cardio is not where it should be.  Also, I can honestly say I haven't been properly counting my calories.  I have quite a few times said...oh it's only XX calories...no big deal, and not include it. These add up.  This is nobodys fault but mine.  Although people are definitely starting to notice.  I have had lots of people comment and I have finally reached the point of fitting into my original wedding ring set again! I have reached the 1/4 mark in my weight loss as well.  I am 1/4 the way to my goal!! 18.4 lbs lost! I am now looking forward to kissing the 230's goodbye!! I haven't been in the 220's in over 5 years!

Now..let's talk about the sagging skin.  Already I am looking like a deflating balloon.  The skin is starting to droop and sag. Not really very appealing but a definite sign of weight loss.  Thanks to my 2 beautiful children I had lots and lots of stretch marks, and now that the fat under it has started to go, the sagging and such  is brutal.  I can pull it and stretch it out.  I am somewhat...horrifically...drawn to it. Now...if I can get the tummy tuck, it'll look magnificent, and it could get rid of a dumb, I'm 18 and it seemed like such a great idea at the time, tattoo!!! Anyways, I am motoring on, and as soon as my hip feels better, I will be running again.  For now, I am speed walking my way along!! Hoping for wonderful things next week!! Onwards and downwards along the journey we go!! So much closer to my goal!!!
