#4 Exercise: Went to gym after dropping the Kid off at school, did 20 mins upper body strength training with free weights (arms, shoulders, back, chest).

Then went to Hot Yoga (1 hour)

Later tonite, after the fam has dinner will do my daily 5km walk around the neighbourhood.

#4 - Exercise.

So far today my exercise has consisted of walking to and from my appointment at my clinic this morning.

And pacing as I watch the clock on the plumber who gets paid by the hour to figure out why our only tub/shower isn't draining. We're 20 minutes into hour 2. Home ownership sucks sometimes.

So I got my exercise in cuz everyone made me feel lazy. This is great motivation to get me exercising regularly. I usually do walk away the pounds but my friend told me to try Body Project videos on YouTube and I did a beginner low impact one for 30 minutes and holy hell....I will keep doing this but it was definitely a workout for me. I am sure for a lot of people it would be too easy but since I am just starting it was pretty perfect. Walk away the pounds was a piece of cake compared to this lol.

Day 5: Practicing my deep breathing. I went to the gym and did abs as well as other stuff. I've also done my 15 squats. And then I read that I was to rest today. Oh well. I'll rest tomorrow and not do abs and squats but do my other stuff. I do so enjoy feeling my muscles are there and being used! Happy Friday!!!

#5 Take a long deep breath. Done. 😁 That was easy.

Went to my 6th month post op check up today with my nutritionist, nurse and social worker (3 weeks early, as I had to reschedule my appts), and all's good so far, other than that my NUT wants me to eat more carbs/fibre as she would like me to poop more, she didn't talk about calories this time, which was different. Lab work done a well, but won't get results until a couple weeks.

April 5: took a long deep breath as I exited GNC without a Protein cookie. I'll get a coffee instead. Your girl is growing up 😳😭

Love it!!!

#5. Have been practicing 4 square breathing. So so so helpful, especially if you have any kind of lung stuff or also anxiety!

And I've also been sitting on my butt resting all day, too! TY for that! TGIF.

☝️ that....I am recuperating from yesterday. I swear my legs feel like I was riding a bucking bronco last night 🤣

Breathe... and then try to breathe again. Work is really taking too much of my time. I am still trying to finish exercise from yesterday... and I too have weekend work shifts where all poop has broken loose preventing breathing. Ok done breathing back to managing the storm.
