Returned to the gym- ouch

It's been 12 days since surgery. DH asked if I wanted to go to the gym this afternoon.
I did .5 miles around the indoor track. If felt good to be moving, but oh are my leg muscles sore.

Can't do any weight lifting until I get Dr. Toder's OK at my check-up Feb 13.

Weil I hear you. I haven't had surgery lately (ouch), but I haven't exercised in years either and I have been working my way up to it. I finally got on the treadmill yesterday and did 1/2 a mile, that was enough for me. Back to the Wii today and try the treadmill again tomorrow. I have to go back and see the Nut on February 3rd and this time I want to be able to tell here TRUTHFULLY that I have been exercising and trying. I'll leave out the part about the Whopper I had 1/2 of today....

Good job,  way to get back out there.  how is your DH doing? and feeling?

Good for you!

I just got back from walking the dog around the Belfast Reny's/Goodwill parking lots - don't think the two times around that I managed to do was more than 1/2 mile....but dang it was cold!

Good for you.....getting back in there is awesome!  Just take it slow and follow the doc's orders!
