Coming off bed rest

Unfortunately, I got hit with a reoccurring condition for the past few days that left me bedridden and in extreme pain.  Wednesday, Dec 30th was the first time in two days that I could get out of bed and I managed to do a 5 minute plank before I had to quit.

Thursday, NYE I was able to walk three miles throughout the day, some of it uphill but I was definitely sore after that.  Time to rest!!!!

Friday, New Year's Day I managed to do 2 miles.

Today, we plan to go to the beach.  No biking for me alas but I will walk which should end up being about 3-6 miles depending.

While I feel 100x better I still need to take it slowly as I'm sore and taking medications.

That said, - since I have mainly been eating salads, I was able to lose another couple of pounds!!!  Bright side!!!

Down side - I'm not 100% enamored with how clothes fit.  Ah well.  That's probably just a woman thing anyway....

That's my update for now.  Trying to stick to the plan of doing this more often than not.
