I've lost count of the number of treatments so far. Around 7 I think.

Am I swelling or gaining weight?

So I started working out again last week at my beloved barre classes. Feels so good and I am actually surprised at how much strength I have retained doing nothing for the past 8 weeks. Somehow I am now able to do full-on pushups (not the sissy kind my knees either). Perhaps from using my arms so much hoisting myself up and down to compensate for abdominal weakness? But, unfortunately I fear I have done too, much too soon. I've got some swelling going on, at least I hope it's swelling and PMS, because if not, then I'm gaining weight. I'm getting more and more sore and tender after each workout, so I'm going to back off, wear the spanx for a few days, drink water and take my turmeric. I'm just very happy with being able to keep up with my barre class. I also took a yoga class about three weeks ago. That went OK, I might possibly do a class over the weekend.

I know this is an old post, I hope you see it. Thank you so much for your posts, especially about going back to Barr class. I am having surgery on the 22nd of December. Repairing muscles from my single c section pregnancy . Also I have an umbilical hernia. The main second thought I have has been fear of not being able to return to bar method classes in a reasonable amount of time. I'm in the best shape of my life at 41 and don't want to lose it all! What you said about returning to classes and being able to do push -ups, was exactly what I needed to hear. You sound like a tough cookie like me. I hope everything has gone well since. Any advice would be greatly appreciated too! :)
