Ok, this is seriously bumming me out...

I am so pi**ed off that my body won't tolerate Jazzercise anymore. Now that might not seem to be a big deal to anyone here, but fer crying out loud. I went steadily for a year and a half and I'm terrified that I won't be able to maintain the progress that I've made without going to class. Am I doomed to be either musle-achy and joint-achy for the rest of my life or will it be a flabulous life? Can you say mid-life crisis anyone?
I know what I need to do. I need to find something to replace Jazzercise that makes me feel good and doesn't hurt. I've reviewed a dozen new videos this weekend and I'm not that impressed. It just seems like nothing will measure up. Am I crazy? I'm going through withdrawl! ACK!!!!
And I got some more results from the doc today. My cholesterol is up...205 and he's not concerned about it but it irritates me. I've always been right around 180-190. So if I let up on the exercise now, will my cholesterol get worse?
This is starting to feel like I'm living in a soap opera....

I've got a continuing aching hip muscle that didn't go away *after* two months of not running. The center of the pain has shifted, so I know it's not "status quo" (I think it's in a spot now where it eventually will work itself out, but that could take months more). But I've also had a number of aches off and on that changing activities to lesser impact activities for two weeks - or 1-2 weeks of total rest - helped me get over. The times that I rested just about killed me. I felt like I was going to undo months' worth of progress but not doing what I loved to do. But yanno... it didn't. Once I restarted, I was back up to where I left off in very little time, without the aches.
Your cholesterol could get worse if you took a 2-week break, though I doubt it'd shoot up in two weeks. Then again, you might have the type of cholesterol that exercise doesn't make much of an impact one way or another.

As for the cholesterol,I've added olive oil to my diet and had some good results.Maybe that could help balance out less exercise.

I feel for you, Lori. See my reply to Susan. Pilates is a great form of exercise. I just haven't felt like doing it or anything else other than yard work.

Time invested in improving ourselves cuts down on time disapproving of others.
