Weight: 158.0
I have been "seriously" working out for two and a half weeks, and I can already tell a real difference in how I feel. Perhaps I don't look any different, but I feel like I look different, and that is all that really matters. I feel like I am standing straighter, keeping my abs tauter, and walking with more spring in my step. In short, I feel more "put together." It's an amazing feeling. I can honestly say I missed feeling this way. Exercise as a daily habit, who would have thought I would ever get here? I didn't. Way back when, I thought I would have to force myself to exercise for the rest of my life. I really believed that. Prior to the surgery I dreaded not being able to exercise for an extended period of time. Funny thing is, it was worse (much worse) than I thought it would be. I thought I'd have to talk myself into starting back up again. Instead, I had to talk myself out of doing too much too soon.
It feels good to be back.
PS - The recovery was much longer and harder than I thought it would be. Jack keeps saying, "You're surgeon said it would be 6 months to a year before you would be fully recovered." And I keep saying, "Yeah, but I never believed him." I didn't want to believe him. Well, ladies, it's true. If you are thinking about having a tummy tuck, plan on 6 months of recovery. This is serious surgery. It takes a long time to recover completely. I have zero regrets. I am tickled pink with the results. But don't underestimate the recovery time from this particular surgery.
