1-29-11-TT with hip lipo

I had my TT 11/29/12, my PS wouldn't clear anything for 8 weeks :( and then only light till 10 needless to say it was way more time off that I had expected. I started running after about 4 weeks I attempted 10 miles of hill work...at 8 I was done with an aching knee. It still is painful after a run. Yesterday I did a relay, PR'd my 5k by three minutes, I finally broke 25 minutes & 10k by 6 minutes! I've been wanting out of the 52 range and I did it! Injured knee and all. The last leg was 4 miles up a gravel road the last half mile I thought I was going to stay where I lay, lol! But the thought of that wine on ice kept me going! Cant walk today but, it was a great race with great friends and beautiful weather on the Oregon coast! Marathon next weekend, it may be brutal!

I have swelling bellow the belly button, if I sit to long. I'm back to excersize; running, zumba, swimming all 5 days a week. Not back to usual gym days... I feel flabby, I'm up 5 lbs. And can't kick the sweets, I'm a stress eater and have really noticed it recently. I feel pretty normal, my hips are still tender. I think my bb looks fine, but I do notice my upper abs, back and arms need definition. Pictures soon to follow.

Thatcis the one thing I forgot to ask my PS, if I had to wear any of the compression stuff... garments, flexies, I hate them all. So I quit wearing them this week, when I started back to zumba. I'm terribly swollen after swimming laps, then 1.5 hours of zumba, I put my wrap on for bed. I hope it isn't going to damage anything.

I just started working out this week. I'm 8 wk PO, I've been running, swimming and to zumba classes. Not wearing any if the garb, it feels great I've hated all that duff from the get go. My guts are what's sore, nit my muscles... So weird!

@yellow- I never did bruise, not too bumpy just big divots :) I rub them in the shower, but maybe more often. I got the ok yesterday to exercise. Swap laps this morning and will do zumba toning tonight, back to running and gym tomorrow, by next week I'll be back to all 4 daily!!! I can't wait, becoming flabby has ticked me off.
