Hurt so Good!!! April 4, 2009

Filed under: Random Thoughts — ladybug20 @ 11:04 am

OMG I am so sore today! Hilary was doing her lower body workout yesterday at the gym and I thought I would try it with her. It was a really good workout. Its been a LONG time since I have worked that hard. Even though today my body feels like it is dying and I am not sure how I am going to make it through 5 more hours at work and then an hour at the gym, I am SO glad that I did it. I have been in such a slump lately and I finally feel like I am breaking out of it. I think that I will join the Slump buster challenge that Hilary is in this week. Maybe that will give me that extra little push I need. I am now only 34 days away from a surgery that will change my life drastically. I know that the first few weeks will seem like years but after that it should be smooth sailing. I know that the better shape I am in before the easier my recovery will be. So here we go.

~9:50 Update~

So even though I was feeling the burn from yesterdays workout I was able to do the eliptical for 45 min today!! I haven’t done that in weeks. I have been doing the bike that has a chair with a back when I have gone to the gym for the last month or so. Its nice to know that I can still do what I want and it might hurt but I can get through it!

 

Moving in the right direction… April 3, 2009

I lost another 1.5lbs this week!!! The scale is finally moving in the right direction!!! I’m not sure if I will be able to make my surgery goal but I am going to do the best I can. Any lose before then is going to help. My goal for April is to take ALL of my meds everyday. Sounds easy right? well for some reason its not that easy for me. So far I am doing great I have taken everything for the last 2 days including my shots. Really the shots are the easiest, no shots= no walking. Hope you all had a good week.
