Great Busy Day

I had a great day outside working in the yard! Mowing grass, and ranking wood. I did have to take frequent breaks, I still feel kind of weak and get dizzy sometimes (Low blood pressure). I am still trying to get back in the habit of exercising, (that isn't going well) I lost alot of muscle strength over the three months I wasn't feeling well. But anyhow I was busy all day, then came in and showered, and we went to a local campground and had a fire and hot dogs. My back which is not in very good shape and was KILLING me before surgery doesn't feel too bad at all and I still have some energy and WHOO HOO me I feel pretty dang gone good. Hope you all are having a wonderful weekend and enjoying the wonderful weather. Belinda

Your new avatar looks FABULOUS.   The last one was great but this one shows a big difference from that one.   Keep up the great work; its awesome that you are feeling soooo much better.   That's what this is all about. 

So glad to hear you are getting better and better each day!  You'll have that muscle strength back up very soon! 

Congrats!

You'll get there - I didn't exercise for the first few months following my surgery other than walking and I think its becaue I went back to work a little too soon following surgery and was really tired for a long time, but eventually as I started getting more and better proteins in and my vitamins kicked in I was feeling better and started doing more again, and now I have more energy than I know what to do with at times!! I will never be a 'fitness queen' - its just not in my nature, but I do like working out now a few times a week - I walk a lot and ride my bicycle, and I'm more active than I've ever been.

Must have been the weekend for yardwork because Saturday morning I got outside around 9:00 and started pruning shrubs and bushes on the side of our house - 10 in all - 4 hours (with some water and sit breaks in there) of pruning, trimming, shaping and raking everything up and bagging it - it was a much bigger job than I anticipated but turned out pretty good, especially since I'm a rookie at that kind of stuff and had never done it before. Today my arms, neck and back are achey, but not killing me so I think its just a matter of letting the stiffness seep out of my poor old body - LOL!!

So you're doing great - take things at your own pace. Before you know it you'll have more energy than you could ever imagine!
