Dont forget to put exercise on "The List". Make a plan to schedule in exercising everyday after surgery! At the beginning it will just be walking -maybe just walking around the house...then outdoors around the block..then a couple of miles....after the appropriate amount of time (per your doctor) get back (or begin) a gym workout, weight training, swimming, whatever you enjoy. My point here is to make exercise a new lifelong habit along with all the other new habits we will be creating. Someone wrote that the first few nights post surgery she couldnt sleep so she'd get up and walk around the house to get her exercise and prevent the blood clots. Great idea!

Good thinking GLove!

I'm going to take a Zumba class for the first time (pre surgery). Hopefully I will like it enough to continue.

Love Zumba!!!
