Post-op Day #16

I am definitely on the mend. I had a few days last week where my discomfort was elevated and I felt a little blue, but thankfully it passed quickly. I have been up and about much more and feeling energetic but I am limited in what I do. No lifting anything 10 lbs. , no pushing or pulling and no exercise more than walking.

We had the grand baby back with us Monday and even with help, I believe I may have been too active and now I have a little twinge of pain in my lower left abdomen sometimes. I haven't pin-pointed what I do that makes it hurt but I am just trying to lay low and hopefully it's just a muscle or something.

I am feeling great though and really ready to get back on track with my diet and exercise program. Even though the exercise is out right now, I could be doing something with my diet. Needless to say, I haven't been very food conscience either. Being held to the house and bored I tend to snack through the day. This week I have tried to reduce my portions. I am committed to praying about this issue for the remainder of the week and prepare the pantry and refrigerator for a start to better eating starting Monday, June 27th. I know I can do it, I just need to mentally prepare and pray.

I am sure my husband will be on board because he has picked up a few pounds this month and is ready to get going on his training as well.
