2!

That's not a very high number. But it is a pretty exciting one, because it's the number of inches I have lost from my waistline!

I took a walk today, and was very pleased to get back outside and in motion. I was disappointed, however, that it wasn't much of a workout. I had hoped to walk at an exercise pace, but it simply wasn't possible. I'm still tired, and the motion of walking created a bit of pain, so I had to walk very slowly. It was a beautiful day, so I enjoyed the sunshine and the views of the water even though I was frustrated at not being able to burn more calories. This healing is definitely a slower process than I had anticipated (apparently, I am much older than I was the last time I had any kind of surgery...and that was oral surgery (wisdom teeth), which is really an entirely different thing). At this point, I'm hoping to be back to normal by the time we go on vacation next Saturday.
