Giving up jogging

Today I found that my food scale had totally given up on life (yes, I changed the battery, yes it still won't work) As I can't possibly eat without a food scale I decided I would jog down to Sears and handle this issue without delay. You see without a scale I can't weigh my food and if I can't weight my log will be inaccurate and if my log is innacurate it's not to be trusted and if I can't trust my log what's the damn point?
So, anyway, no big deal, Sears is less than a mile away!
I put on some workout clothes and my running shoes (legit running shoes. I went to a specialty store and everything) Out the door I went with thoughts of which kind of scale I would get dancing in my head. I head for the street, eager to get some more steps in, when i feel it. A sharp spasm of pain in groin area (that is to say where my leg and abdomen meet) and I fall to my knees from the shock and pain. I try to ride it out and get back up and continue on but now I'm limping and can't walk straight. I turn around and retreat back to my apartment, plan foiled and resigned to just not eating today.
Jogging is clearly much too dangerous an activity so I'm looking for something less likely to cause a groin strain and overwhelming pain for my cardio. Any suggestions?

Well if you're going to avoid groin strain I need to think of something else other than what first comes to mind. Swimming I guess.0

But how will she get to the pool?0 -
This kills 2 birds with one stone. Light cardio on the treadmill - plus, transportation to go get that new scale.0

Is it a treadmill or outdoor running? I'm confused. *Mind blown*0 -
I suggest jumping in place repeatedly. Make a video and post it so that we can check your form to prevent further injury.0

The video thing is a great idea! I'm glad you suggested it; surely the input from people on this site will help me avoid injury in the future.
Should I wear anything special to make sure that my form can be properly assessed?0 -

This might work: (pretty sure her tops on backwards)0 -

Oh okay fantastic! I'll start looking into that right away; I know it costs money though so I'm hoping for more suggestions or information on what I should wear for my jumping up and down form video.0 -

Perhaps you have to start running in reverse?0 -

Oh, yes, Crossfit. Because Rhabdo, blowing out your colon, severing your spine, or breaking your neck aren't as bad as a groin strain!
LOL, Crossfit is dangerous because their "certified instructors" can get certified in one weekend. Many of them have a hyper-macho attitude and don't know what they're doing. DON'T DO CROSSFIT.
And IDK what about running can cause a groin strain. Perhaps you should see a sports medicine or orthopedic doctor.Today I found that my food scale had totally given up on life (yes, I changed the battery, yes it still won't work) As I can't possibly eat without a food scale I decided I would jog down to Sears and handle this issue without delay.

I'm thinking the less covering the better, so we can properly see and *kitten* the muscle movement of course.0 -

Damn, you got there first. I hear you can lose 5kg a week and poop gold if you use those things for 5 mins a day.0 -

And I don't understand how her bra is helping us in any way to see her form any better.0 -
