Struggle

I’m not going to lie to you, it’s been a struggle the past couple of days with my workouts, it’s not so much being motivated but the fact that I’m experiencing some discomfort/pain in the lower abdominal area. This past summer when I saw my Dr. regarding a head cold I told him about the pain and he mentioned it might be a lower abdominal hernia and if it gets any worse I would know and need to get surgery. I had the same pain last year and it eventually went away after I scaled back my workout sessions which is what I’ve done since my last post. So is it a hernia or muscle strain? Not sure, one thing I’m sure about is getting in a good sweat 3-4 x’s a week but just not at the level I’m used to. With that I decided to really test it out yesterday when I did the Insanity Plyo workout and overall the pain wasn’t that bad, had to modify a few things but overall I was pleased. I’m taking today off and will be back at it tomorrow, hoping that over time my hernia/strain will heal. One more side note, it hurts most when I run but doesn’t hurt when I weight train, weird right? Oh well I’ll need to be a little more strict with the diet since my workouts have been lacking a bit.
