The Outside of Me to Match the Inside of Me!! - Olympia, WA

1 year ago I had the procedure that helped cement the change to my life. I continue to see changes in my body but the best thing I have to say is the new adventure my life is. I not only workout but have been asked to become a fitness instructor and had the confidence to do it. I've also continued my running. I went from doing 5Ks to now 10K,12K,15K, and I even did a 1/2 marathon. I'm very blessed and am thankful for this new chance at life. I'm not taking it for granted. Healthy clean eating, fitness and family!! God Bless

I am 3 weeks PO....I have gone back to work and back to the gym..I am doing all low options and staying away from mat/floor work in zumba and cardio kickboxing. I am also able to sleep flat with my knees still proped up on some pillows, but at least I am in my own bed again (hubby is happy about that also). I am tired by the time I get home but not overly tired. I wear my CG everyday and will have to until at least 6 weeks. I am loving my results. I hadn't told anyone at work but man they have noticed..LOL thats a good thing I think :) I still swell at the end of the day mostly in my hip area and of course my tummy, it all goes down by morning. I still don't eat any salt or carbs and very little sugar. I eat lots of protien and drink lots of water and that seems to work well for my body and my energy.

I am 14 days P.O. and loving it!! I was cleared to go back to work and to the gym. I walked on the Treadmill and did low cardio bursts with the inclines. I also did arms and legs with light weights. All went great and I felt like I got a great workout without all the jumping and running :) I start work next week!!! I still swell at the end of the day but that is to be expected and I am finally able to lie in bed with very little tilt. I still have a couple pillows under my legs for support. My energy is high and I am feeling great!!
