At last... RUNNING!
Don't know why I've battled to get back to running. A friend of mine who also had under the muscle, similar size did a 15km run 6 weeks post op. It's been just over 2 months and I finally can run. Tried running last week with my fancy shock absorber bra but just didn't support area by cleavage and ended up running 3 kms holding my boobs. Must have looked ridiculous. Bought another bra this week, this one with cups and under wire. Really tight. Popped another gym bra over it and lo and behold it worked. Feels really weird running. Not sore and not off balance, just different and little uncomfortable. Boobs were tight at the end of the day though. Ran again this morning. Glad I can still manage 5 kms. Thought I would have lost a lot of fitness.
Tried swimming for the first time on Friday. Total disaster. Arm can do complete rotation without any pec pain but pulled way too much on scar area.
So that's out for a while longer. Pilates is almost back to normal. Planking is fine.
Boobs are much softer, but again smaller after another 2 kgs weight loss, sigh.
Still great to try on bras and they all fit!!!

Getting back into the Exercise Groove
Well next Tuesday will be 8 weeks post op. Saw PS this Monday about pain in upper right quadrant of pectoral muscle into underneath arm. He still can't find any signs of capsular contracture so I feel better. I'm assuming it's something nervy related to pecs stretching to accommodate implant.
As we are in Ironman off season (winter here in SA) and because of 2 months non activity I have been following a Banting/Paleo eating lifestyle to try and lose 5 kgs ahead of October IM start of the season.
So far I'm 2% body fat down and 2 kgs. But GUESS WHERE I LOST THE WEIGHT! I swear my boobs look noticeably smaller.
I've also started exercising every day in the gym, alternating between the treadmill and spinning bike.
I discovered my new best friend... The elliptical trainer. Minimal impact and quite a workout. Tried running a few steps.... just too weird!!!
