Exercising Again!
After feeling bloated and sluggish for a few weeks, I have finally begun exercising again and am so excited! Dr. Pousti told me at the end of last week I could begin doing my treadmill again, walking and leg weights - basically lower extremity workouts. So Friday, I jumped on my treadmill for the first time in about 2 1/2 weeks. The day of my surgery I felt I was in the best shape I had been in, in the last 10 years. I felt great and was happy with my body (except for my breasts). Well, doing absolutely no exercise for that period of time has gotten me down a bit-some of the areas that I had worked hard to tone were becoming a bit less toned so it was important for me to get back exercising again. I've been doing the treadmill now every day since Friday - a much slower pace than I'm used to but the fact that I'm doing something is all that matters. Today I'm going to take a break but will start up again tomorrow. Dr. Pousti told me that in about 4-6 weeks I can begin lifting light weights again (5-10lbs).
I have a few extra pounds that are lingering that I gained during surgery time. I know the implants are extra weight but these pounds are on top of that! It's really important for me to try to lose those again. However it is kind of funny, finally having your body proportionate, you don't seem to notice the few extra pounds like I did before the surgery! My breasts are very slimming! LOL
Just in the few days I've been exercising I am feeling better. Hoping I can get back to where I was fairly quickly! Yeah!
