Day one!

Well I have survived day one back into the normal routine. I got up this morning and went to work. I made it through the whole day, well most of the whole day. I got off an hour early but that wasnt due to me it was due to weather. We are having some nasty thunderstorms/tornados and many parents elected to pick up their children early today. I even managed to walk 20 minutes on the treadmill tonite as well. OK so 20 minutes isnt a lot in the grand scheme of workouts but today for me 20 minutes was a huge success. Yes, I am tired, actually I am exhausted. But with each day it will get better and better. I am hoping that after I see Dr. Elliott on Thursday he will let me start doing more than just walk I am ready to start running again. Tomorrow the surgical tape on my incision comes off so I will have mobility back in my neck so later this week I hope to start doing strength training again as well. One thing I have learned in the last few weeks is there is always time for things you think you have no time for. For instance simple things like reading a good book. It never seems like I have "time" to relax and read because there is something to due or somewhere to go! I have learned there is time you just have to take it. Like tonite my dishwasher needs unloading and the carpet needs vacumed. But instead of doing those things like I normally would have I am going to go lay in bed and read that good book.

Blessed Be
