Finally!

The last time I was at the gym was on Dec. 8th!  Today, after all this time, I was finally given the ok to return to the gym in a limited capacity!  I am so excited.  I have really been feeling like a slug and eating way, more than I have a right to!  Thankfully, my weight has remained steady, 142-144 during this whole period.  I can really see a difference though in my  body.  It doesn't take long for muscles to forget and I'm here to tell you, mine forgot!  While the scale has remained steady, my body is no longer as toned as it once was.  That ends tomorrow!  Listen up muscles....prepare to start feeling sore!  A good sore though, I hope.

I have learned more than I ever wanted to know about the Sacroiliac Joint and I pray to God that it never gets twisted again!  It will take me a long time to forget the pain from that damn twisted joint!  I will really be taking it slow at the gym for this reason.  The last thing I want to do is have a set-back especially because my doctor said surgery is the next step if it happens again.  I do not want to go there.

My WW adventure continues although I am only doing it half-hearted.  Some days I forget to count my points.  I still love Myfitnesspal best out of all the online calculators!

Tonight my hubby is taking me out to dinner to celebrate my birthday (again) at a really nice Italian restaurant that I've been dying to try.  It will be great knowing that I can have dessert and will be working it off  at the gym in the morning!  Did I mention that it was my 50th birthday?  With the exception of the SI Joint issue, I am starting this new decade off 100% healthier and happier than I started the last one.  Salute!
