So today my new tummy officially made 1 week old! ????????????

In celebration, my boyfriend and I both got a gym membership.

I just went to the gym by myself and did the bicycle for 7 minutes and burned 30 calories. I also did the treadmill for almost 7 minutes and burned another 30 calories.

I did the elliptical but I was passing gas so much I stopped (embarrassing)!!!

I was afraid to do any strenuous workouts because I am still recovering and haven't been cleared to lift any weights so I just kept it at a minimum.

I was a hard on myself that I didn't burn more calories or even do the treadmill and elliptical longer but I have to get used to exercising again. I have to ease it in.

I will be back at the gym tomorrow conquering some more!

...forgot to mention, today was my first day around my family since the surgery, and the compliments were just pouring! Everyone was saying how I slimmed down and I was just smiling from ear to ear! Only a select few of my family knew about my surgery so to get these compliments really made my day!

My surgeon said I couldn't work out at all for 6-8 weeks after, part of that due to a hernia repair at the same time. I did try a light workout about 3 weeks after thinking that it would be fine and boy did I regret that, hurt so much. But I walked soooooooooo much during that time, pretty much like 2 or more miles a day and that really helped a lot.

That's 14 more minutes than the day before. Be proud of that.

You go girl!
