So I went to the gym this morning for the first time in over 5 months! I was very excited. I have been told to take it slowly, so all I did was walk on the treadmill, do triceps and biceps (super low weight and only one set of 15). Then I managed a 1 min plank!!! I am sore now though. In a good way though!
Given that I was running when I stopped working out, it was a bit shocking how much fitness I have lost. My heart rate was through the roof and all I did was walk! I am just so happy to be back at it though, and hope to start running in about 6 weeks or so, was I have built a good base of walking miles under me!!!

Back to reality :D

So it has been a year since I blogged. 2012 was quite a challenge health wise and it affected my whole life. They say that without your health you have nothing, and truer words were never spoken.
After many, many months (about 16) of appointments, and waiting, I had a hysterectomy in November. Despite the fact that I had severe complications which has set me back, I finally feel like I am on the road to getting my life back!!!
I saw the doctor this morning and he has said that I can SLOWLY get back to yoga (can't wait), and ease my way into the gym and back to RUNNING!!!!!! By the end of March he said I should be better than new. I am so very excited. I have been off for 5 months from all physical activity, and spent a month where I was pretty much in bed the whole time, so I think it will be quite the journey back. Not quite sure how to go about it, so off to do some research, and to take it a step at a time!!!
