I think in part because I was so active pre surgery I got the go head to go back under strict rules to do nothing with abs/core (don't want a hernia)
Today was my 3rd day back and it was good. I have been running a bit on the treadmill (got specific permission to start running again as long as I built up slowly). Did 2 and 1s (intervals) for 18 min. Then isolated some leg muscles on some machines. Stretched, sat in a massage chair and had a lovely long hot shower.
I have missed gym endorphins lol.
Tomorrow is a rest day and then maybe again on thurs or Friday as I am aiming for 4 times a week.

i have to scale back on exercise :( I went to Dr. and am scheduled for surgery in February due to an incisional hernia. Anytime I exercise have a fair amount of pain in my abdomen. Not a happy camper!
Have a happy, healthy week!

Typically i just try to use tailwind. I will drink coffee with coconut oil at least an hour or so before I run. I will try to "sip" the tailwind every couple of miles, but at about 9 to 10 miles in it will start coming back up. Once I remove my compression shirt I can drink normal.
What are you eating when you run??

I have some under Armour long sleeve stuff for the colder weather when i cycle. I have tried a larger size but I get a flopping feeling when i run :/
Try Old Navy or see if Flexees has something that will work for you. I hate Spanx, but love flexees. They feel totally different to me.

It is amazing when need you can get work and exercise in together. I am slowly coming to realize on the days I know I can not get to the gym to speed up my walking as I go to client to clients homes. I bus it so i started to except my walking as a work out. I know with winter and walking through the snow is a real work out. I don't know where you live but you are so lucky to be where it is warm
