I want more! One week sleeved

[Phoenix79 452]

I've been walking since I got back from the hospital. I'm now walking on the treadmill since walking outside bores the heck out of me. I'm now up to 3.1 mph and 3% ramp elevation for 30 min 2x a day- works out to about 3 miles a day. But today, as I was 10 min into my walk, I felt soooo tempted to break into a jog! I had so much energy and I wanted to do more than I was doing. I'm sure my surgeon would frown on it until I'm further out, but it feels awesome to feel like I want to- and could do running! I've never been a runner, but I can't wait until I'm cleared to do more stuff! Running, crew, Zumba, ballroom dancing here I come- and maybe even hiking!

Whoah there slow down a bit. Your one week out. I think its awesome you can do that but I wouldnt break out into a run so soon. Remember , you have had a major surgery I would stick to the walking for now Im sure if you mentioned jogging to your md he would freak. lol Your doing so good hang on a few more weeks keep your walking up your body will thank you for it.

Haha! You are definitely fiddles wife! You guys can be crazy exercise people together!

When I'm on the treadmill the only thing I want to breakout is a snickers

But really that's great if you can find something you enjoy doing its empowering and will help keep you healthy and string through the weight loss.

No worries! I'm a good girl and do exactly what my surgeon says! I won't do anything except walking (he also said elliptical & bike riding is ok) until I'm cleared.

It's Awesome that you are feeling so good. I like that idea of hard when you feel up to it hold on to the plans for increased activity. Bike riding is also my favorite.

Congrats
