Yesterday evening was my first trip back to the gym, and it was like going the first time ever. I didn't realize I'd have to start all over from scratch, but I believe it shouldn't take me quite as long as it did the first time to get into decent shape. My weight has shot up to 110# though.
Those wily doctors all told me I could do whatever exercises I felt like doing, but little did I realize there would be so much I don't feel like doing, at least at first. But I'm going to do a little better each time, until I surpass where I left off! Today I think I will just walk a few miles on the treadmill, but you never know. Last night I was completely aware of when the endorphins hit my brain (or whatever they do) - all the pain was gone in an instant and I was enveloped in a warm sense of well being. That's heady stuff, and the feelings of well being are still with me.
This will be my first time driving my car for a while, and I have mixed emotions about it, which surprise me.
I'm back home now after just going to the gym. I had a list of other stops I wanted to make, but after a mile on the treadmill I just wanted to come home, have lunch and a protein shake. It's amazing how much fun walking can be out on a trail with a partner, as opposed to the monotony of a treadmill or by oneself.
I could use a snooze right now and then maybe I'll feel like going back out later. Have a good day.
- Falling - I Hate It!
I did it again - lost my balance and took a painful tumble. I was at the gym with Jeannie last night and on the treadmill. After about 5 minutes I decided to remove my fleece pullover, which I do every time I'm on the treadmill. ...
- Finding My Routine
I went to the gym the last two mornings which makes me feel like I'm getting back into the groove. I really enjoyed just going down to the basement at my son's house and using the treadmill. If I had a basement here I think...
- Post Op
Jeannie took me to my post op this morning, and my mood has been swinging wildly for the last few days anyway, nearly driving me crazy today. I've gone through periods of wanting to just sit and cry, as well as those of just plain depression. ...
- Enough Of This!
I had my post op visit yesterday and hit a whopping 105.2 on the scale! I've had enough of this craziness and have made up my mind I'm going to get well, gain weight, and get back to living again, as soon as I can manage it all. The visit...
- Last Day Prep
I woke up not feeling so great this morning even though I got a decent night's sleep. Since I don't feel the B-12 shot has me bursting with energy I decided not to get another one, but maybe I should rethink that and get one more before...
