I'm three weeks out from surgery as of today, and my doctor told me I could go back to my yoga and taekwondo classes anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks. Decided to give it a shot last night and I survived! Skipping all the self defense and sparring, of course, for another month so that I don't take any kicks to the abdomen, or get thrown to the floor, but just the workout itself and forms work was great. I've felt so tired for the last few weeks, and have been stalled for a week as well. I've never been one to enjoy excercise but it just felt so good to get back on the floor and show that I could do it. Bonus was I finally lost a pound overnight! Not being too sore from Taekwondo plus breaking a stall makes for a great morning!

Congratulations! It feels good to get moving and it being easier to get moving with a little less weight on our bodies! I keep telling my husband that when I had all this excess weight on me that it would be like me walking around with a 50 pound suitcase, then a 70 pound suitcase, and now a 90 pound suitcase etc all day long! So glad you found some type of exercise that you enjoy, it will make all the difference!

Thanks Susie. My son has been in tkd for 4 years and I've always been jealous of the other parents who were taking class. I hate walking so this is a great fit for me plus I have so many friends here they are my support group through this.
