I need to lose probably another 10 or 15 lbs, but I think I'll just keep on doing what I'm doing, foodwise. I'm trying to not eat processed foods, and have added a lot of fresh vegetables and whole grains to my diet. I walked around a couple of blocks yesterday morning, and then hiked an easy (and level!) short trail at the park in the afternoon. I walked around 3 blocks this morning, and probably could have gone further except my legs started getting a bit "heavy". I go back tomorrow for my 3 week followup to my surgery, and although I don't think she will absolutely release me for all activity, I think she will loosen up a lot. I woke up feeling great, and not sore at all, this morning. Spring has sprung! |
