Well the first week is over and I am feeling pretty much back to normal. I almost feel guilty having another week off work, even though it will only be two weeks that I will have been off and its recommended that you have 3 - 4 weeks.
On day 8 I started walking again (real walking I mean - where you actually put on sandshoes!). I walked 5 kms with no negative impacts. In fact, I've been measuring my waist/hips and scar and have seen the measurements drop every day so I take that as a sign that I'm not overdoing it. Today I plan a second 5km walk, and whilst I have so much time on my hands - would like to try and walk 10kms/day - particularly since I'm not allowed to do anything else.

I got close to this with my weight loss, but there was always the issue of the saggy skin hanging over the top of the jeans, and no matter how much I lost it never seemed to change. Now it doesn't really matter what I wear, nothing will "hang o
I can see abs! I'm loving seeing the swelling going down and seeing ab definition - something I had no hope of seeing before. I can't wait until I can train again and really work on seeing a six pack.
