Title: 7th month update
Post by: lgbran on June 11, 2014, 06:39:14 AM
Today marks 7 months since my surgery. Admittedly I am a lot heavier then what I was prior to surgery so today I celebrated and walked about 19-20 km.. Not that I advocate this for everybody but it's part of my plan to peel off the weight and keep it off. My hip and surrounding muscles were doer yesterday after a few hours  in the garden and a light bike ride.Another 4 weeks and I will be off the warferin. Will spend a few hours in the pool tomorow and work on some stretches.i haven't walked or ran that far in 10 years. I am pleasantly fatigued. Will I run again I doubt it but it's nice to know I can walk a long way. Mixing it up with some swimming, spin bike, cycling and Watching my calorie intake it's all good
Cheers

 it took me about 3 hours and 45 minutes.Spent a very easy 30 minutes on the spin bke yesterday.
I just walked and kept on going. It's Winter here in Southern Australia and it was a beautiful sunny day, northerly winds and living by the coast the water looked magic. Muscles were sore the nex day but hip was fine.i am sure Nigel you will be ahead of me. Just listen to your body and take it 1 day at a time 😀
