First day of working out post surgery

Jan 02, 2017

Having to re-create this blog post again as it was written over by something I tried posting today (01-08-16). I originally posted this six days ago! ugh:

We "de-Christmased" the house last Friday! I was pretty excited I love Christmas but I am honestly pretty happy when the holidays are over with. I get my home back to the way it was lol. We had to move the elliptical into our bedroom to make room for the tree.

When I work out, I have to get up at 5 or 6 am to do it usually. We have three kids and I do not do well working out with distractions. I really like to focus on what I am doing. My husband would not have liked me jumping on the elliptical next to the bed at 5 am or so while he is trying to sleep haha!

About 2 weeks ago I was cleared for working out post surgery but I had not started yet. It felt SO GREAT to get back at it this morning even though I am already ready for a nap LOL!! I only got about 4 hours of sleep last night though so that doesn't help a bit.

So I decided to do about 35 minutes on the elliptical this morning and then I spent about 20 minutes doing the strength training exercises that my bariatric office gave me. They are very basic strength training exercises so I will probably get comfortable doing them for the first few weeks and then move to something else probably.
