1 Month Down

So it has now been one month since my surgery. The last few weeks have been rough. I ended up getting really sick. I got strep throat and dehydrated. I am stubborn and did not go to the Doc for a week so I did not get on antibiotics for a full week. So I was sick for about 2 weeks. I was sooo dehydrated I got a charlie horse in my calves everytime I took a step. I was thankful that I was still off of work from the surgery. I started feeling better about 7 days ago and I am back on track. I started the treadmill version of the couch to 5k workout. I did all of week 1 (3 days) and I did 4 days of Zumba.

 

On the food front I am struggling. I AM SOOO HUNGRY! My first fill is on Tuesday, and I cannot wait. I did go to weigh in today and I am down a total of 37 lbs. So that does feel good. I also unpacked clothes that were boxed up due to being way too tight. So now I have a few more pairs of pants to wear. I go back to work next Wednesday, the day after my first fill.
