Road Block: Leg Pain

No, I haven't quit... But it's been a struggle. 

About 11 days ago, I got this really annoying, nagging pain in my lower left leg. It felt like my leg has been tied and released, kind of numbing feeling but at the same time not really. It's hard for me to describe this pain. It's not sharp pain, but it's nagging. Google told me it could be number of things, from a simple injury to a blot clot. I stopped working out immediately, as it was the only thing I was doing differently. 

Last Tuesday, I was planning to go to a doctor as pain wasn't going away for almost a week. Due to Thanksgiving, I didn't get a chance to make an appointment. Luckily, it got better on Thursday. Mild pain came back over the weekend. And today it is much better. I'm planning start working out slowly again tomorrow. I'm super excited because I haven't been watching my TV shows, and I need to catch up. 

I didn't gain much weight over Thanksgiving. My weight was 149.8 lbs this morning. 

I don't want to give up on my mission, and one way or another I would like to achieve my goal in healthy way. I still don't know if my leg pain is due to my workout. I'll have to keep a close eye on it.

Have you had any strange leg pains due to workout?

When you are about to quit, remember why you started.

I came across above quote a few days ago, and it motivated me enormously. So I decided to share some motivational quotes in this post. It helps me to keep going. I hope it does the same to you!

Ø  The distance between who I am and who I want to be is separated only by my actions and words.

Ø  The only bad workout is the one that didn’t happen.

Ø  Do something that makes you sweat!

Ø  Think you won’t make a difference with one run? You won’t make any difference doing nothing.

Ø  Don’t lose faith, you got this!

Ø  Success is not the result of spontaneous combustion. You must set yourself on fire!

Ø  Don’t stop when you are tired. Stop when you are done!

Ø  You don’t always get what you wish for; you get what you work for!

Ø  It takes 4 weeks for you to see your body changing.
It takes 8 weeks for your friends and family to notice.

And it takes 12 weeks for the rest of the world to see. Keep going!

Ø  If you want something you’ve never had, then you’ve got to do something you’ve never done.

Ø  No goal was ever met without a little sweat.

Ø  Just do it!

Ø  If it doesn’t challenge you, it doesn’t change you.
