I'm doing well. I don't even feel like I had surgery recently. Well, of course my diet is drastically different, but I mean my body feels normal. Improved, actually. I feel able to be more active and have more energy overall. I swam more laps tonight. I didn't take my stuff to go directly to the gym earlier in the week, so all week, once I got home from work, I collapsed and was unable to motivate myself to get out and walk or go to the pool. I think, for me, the key is going to be taking my stuff with me to work and going directly there. That makes it part of the plan rather than something I have to motivate myself to do, you know? Anyway, I expect to swim after working OT on Saturday, and then hope that next week I'll do 2 yoga classes and 3 days of swimming. Wish me luck.
I haven't been feeling very hungry lately. In a way that is good, but in a way, that means I need to be more diligent about getting in my 48-62 ounces of fluids and my 60g of protein each day. My new favorite snack is Sea Salt Soy Crisps... They are like mini rice cakes, but have soy protein in them. I can eat half a serving and get several grams of protein with very low fat and sugar, plus enjoy the salty taste and crunch! Since I can't have popcorn for a long time, I will substitute these.
It's time to post a new picture, just haven't gotten around to taking one. Will do so soon!
Today I resurrected a dress. It's a nice Jones New York one that had been too small for a few years, but I'd never gotten rid of it. Got lots of compliments on it, so I think that mean it officially fits. For now, anyway. (-:

This is so cool, Jennifer. Incredible journey you're on!!
I agree about having to take the stuff to work. I may have said this before, but personally, I've found I really have to plan to work out EVERY day right after work, or else it doesn't happen. If it's not something as ordinary and daily as brushing my teeth or putting on deodorant, I'll think about it. And thinking about it, means there's an excellent chance I won't do it. But if it's just as much a part of my schedule as getting dressed an eating dinner, than you don't ponder. So I actually work out 6 days a week (I do give myself Fridays off. But that's recommended according to the marathon training folks. Plus Saturdays I'm usually walking 6-10 miles so I more than make up for 1 day off.) Good job! Keep going, you can do it!
