So over the swelling....

Hello! Well, I've been working out consistently and am feeling great on that side of things. Really feel back in shape and have had no soreness at all! It's insane! I'll work my abs a million different ways... Feel it while doing it... And the next day when I'd normally be walking hunched over.... Nothing. Crazy! I guess those muscles are nice and tight and I'm just getting things toned!

So, I did something very naughty. I hate my swelling. I hate my cg. So I took it off for a few days and then used an older rx I had of a diuertic for two days. I've been about seven pounds heavy and PS said get off the scale... It's swelling. She was dead on. I peed seven pounds out the first day. Then for the next four I looked fricking fantastic! Omg! I got that sneak peek at what's under this layer of swollen tissue. It's beautiful! There was so much definition and shape.... Man.... I could not stop pulling my shirt up and I felt like I wanted to show everyone! But... I held back... Showed hubby only who was drooling! Lol. Then reality. I'm actually swollen about nine pounds heavier now.... And I just wait for this phase to PLEASE end! And yes... I know how dangerous those pills can be and will not do it again... But it was a nice temporary feeling and great motivator to keep working out and even if I can't see that shape under my skin right now.... It's there! Just like the before and afters.... We all have something beautiful under there!

Go back to PS in a week. She's not concerned about the swelling.... Says it looks great. Ha! Feels like crap. So I'm back in the spanx today....boy... I didn't miss them!

All complaining aside.... It looks great.... Just feels so bloated. Has anyone tried lymphatic massage?

Happy healing all!

Balls to the walls

So I did my first intense workout today. I'm done waiting for the swelling to get better. And guess what... It is a bit worse than normal but nothing significant that warns me to take it easy. It felt great to workout.... Cardio climber for 30 minutes and then 45 mins on all the weight machines. Came home and another 20 minutes of abs. I'll be sore tomorrow! But I look forward to just feeling better. I've been waiting too long! I'm glad I pushed myself to give it a try.... Can't wait to feel that extra spring in my step.

Happy healing all!
