I did too much today

I was feeling so good this morning so I took Dr Walton up on the no restrictions. I told my DIL that I would pay for her to join Tan and Tone with me and thought I was up to it. Even though the machines do most of the work, I am worn out tonight! I had thought I might even feel good enough to go back to walking in the morning but decided I had better wait until next Saturday to start back. On another note -- I have been successful in giving my own factor infusions the last 2 mornings! just one more to go. I am a nurse so you would not think I was so worried about doing them but 1) I was not sure I could do stick myself and 2) I am in management so my skills are not what they used to be. But I did it, and I did not even hurt myself. LOL

Slow down!!!!!

Nancy,  we have all done it!  You get to feeling confident and then your body says....whoa!!!  Rest up now!  When I was 20 I worked in a small surgeon's office.  The nurse wanted to draw a blood test and didn't want anyone to know it was for her.  She asked me to help her.  I had NO training what so ever but she said I could do it she would walk me through it.  She had to do more than walk me through it.  She had to practically do it herself.  It was one of the hardest things I had done!  I was more freaked out than she was. 

Hi Nancy - I go to Tan & Tone, and I joined three weeks after surgery. I now go about three days a week (sometimes two, because I also walk and use a treadmill); even though it seems that the machines do the movement, those are actually resistance exercises and you do use your strenght - or at least that is how the exercise works - Since you are worn out that means you used some muscles for the work-out!  I personally think you may want to wait a couple of weeks....even now, after I come back from working out there my muscles are sore, because I use as much strenght as I can to resist the machines' movements (in essence that is the objective). Walking right now, is probably the best thing you can do. - Please slow down....I am glad you are feeling good, though   - Anna

 *Imagine the Beatles singing to you, my dear* Slow down you're moving way too fast...

Go Wonder Woman!  Well, maybe not.  Maybe you should slow down.  But I'm glad you are doing so well!

Take care of yourself. Take this down time to pamper yourself. You deserve it.

Not so fast, Fluffy!  That's a saying I got from a retired teacher friend of mine.  I loved it so I stole it!  Walking is your best bet right now.  Our MWC group walked in the mall this morning.  It was much nicer than outside in the heat.  Go a little easier on yourself!  You are still healing.
