Managed to walk 5k on Monday, although I am suffering for it today. I need to start trying to work other things into my workouts, but I can see a difference in my body already. Looking down in the shower today my thigh looked suspiciously less gelatinous and that was encouraging. My waist is beginning to come out from his long hibernation and it’s nice to be able to just see my boobs instead of my gut when I look down at my feet. I suppose on Thursday I will add either an elliptical to my work out (30 mins of walking, 30 mins of the torture device) or if it’s nice, go for a bike ride around the neighborhood, see if I can’t get up to 4 miles or at least ride for an hour. I need to start stretching out before (or after) my workouts as well. That’s a first lol.
Had lunch today with a girlfriend from high school. It’s funny how everyone asks, “Can you eat that?” or “What can you even eat?”. I can eat normally now, except for extremely rich foods high in fat or sugary yumminess. I haven’t had candy since my surgery or my cajun chicken pasta (made with heavy whipping cream) – both things would tear me UP. Nice incentive not to eat like that, too. Although today I wanted some potato chips, but that urge was gone in about 10 seconds.
