FOUR

Nov 28, 2011

Ok I survived my first post-op Thanksgiving and first without my mom. I opted to stay home with my kids and cook. I wasn't sure how it would be. First off, turkey doesn't like me. I can eat chicken with no problem but turkey made me nauseous every single time, regardless of how well I chewed. Didn't matter if it was white or dark. My turkey wasn't dry whatsoever (I brined it over night). I didn't miss the pie at all. However, I did miss my cranberry, turkey and mayo leftover sandwiches. Without the cranberry sauce, it just wasn't the same. My dad and step mom did stop by later in the afternoon and brought me something AMAZING. A sugar free pumpkin creme pie! It was sooooo good. I skipped the crust completely and just had a few bites here and there. My stomach doesn't like sugar alcohols either so I knew when to stop. It was so weird seeing a loss after Thanksgiving for once! lol

Anyway, I'm proud to say I have been to the gym the last 4 days in a row! Makes me happy. I was starting to worry because it was getting to be once a week if that, and even then it was only swimming for 30 minutes. Now I am back on treadmill and swimming plus adding lots and lots of weights. I have a 3 pound gain but I expected it seeing as I did heavy weights 3 days in a row. I am so sore but it makes me feel accomplished. I need to come up with a schedule/routine though. I think I'm finally ready to start running too. Just when and where are the real questions. I am not coordinated enough to run on a treadmill!
