Wow. I totally see it too!!! Amazing. You're doing what I love! I hope you do too. 😊Keep it up!

I have become quite a gym rat haha! It's a great addiction to have. In fact with working late and having errands I missed tonight and I feel terrible for it. Wednesday and Sundays are my "rest days". But I love the gym now.

Yes I definitely have to get back at it! I'm running crazy again this afternoon too. It looks like I'm gonna have to go in the mornings so I can get it done.

Quick question how is your eating?
I'm thinking of starting an exercise regimen at home but sometimes my eating is not so good. Any tips?
I'm also 3 months post op.

Amazing! I am on my first week in the gym too! I used the elliptical machine for the first time and love it, even though I can't stay up there long. "The race is not given to the swift or the strong but to the one who endures to the end." #PowerUp[emoji95]

When I go to the gym I get my cardio in first so that it's done and out of the way. I start with the elliptical or treadmill on incline. I do at least 1-1.5 miles on one of those. Then I move to weights for a little bit alternating arms and legs on different days. After 15-20 mins of the heart rate slowing down some I step it up with some dumbbells doing overhead press with squats at a decent pace. I try to keep my heart rate up when doing those and I alternate squats, lunges and curtseys at a moderate pace.

As far as my eating I eat chicken, shrimp, Protein Shakes and such. I am at very low carbs probably 20-30 daily. I haven't had Pasta or rice since surgery. It sucks but it's worth it.
