Exercising

Sep 22, 2011

I have been anxious to start exercising and the last two days have been gross outside with heavy rain. Today, after I picked up the kids after school, we went to the river trail for a hike. It was awesome at first to have the smells of the river and the forest while breathing in the fresh air. After about 30-45 minutes though, I was starting the think I may have pushed it a little too much. This is the first among daily activities that will have to be ongoing for the rest of my life. I checked out our local gym but the cost is prohibitive and even with passes, it still costs 5$/day. Do that 5 days/week and the cost is rediculous.  I think I will check out some treadmills on craigslist so that when the weather is impossible out, I can still get a walk in.
In regards to food, I am increased the protein. Wow, what a difference. I was eating mostly jello, cottage cheese, cream of wheat but finding myself quite hungry shortly after. I blended some soup yesterday and it was WAYYYY too much. It sat uncomfortably and sometimes painfully in my gut all night long. At least its reassuring that this surgery isn't broken like I was afraid it was. It is alive and apparently, working very well.
