Rehab

Today was my first day of rehab! I was actually pretty excited to go because I am ready to start working out and losing weight.

I was probably a good twenty plus years younger than every person in there. Everyone was very friendly and I got lots of hmmmm looks from the other patients. There was one woman who was new too and she had a big scar on her chest, so I can't even imagine what she just went through and am very thankful mine was not that bad!

I felt really good the whole time. My blood pressure stayed good. They start you off with stretches, and some with weights. Then I did ten minutes on the exercise bike, ten minutes on the treadmill, and 6 minutes on a climber thing. They add two minutes a day until you reach twenty on the bike and treadmill and 10 on the climber. I felt good the whole time, like I probably could have worked out a little bit harder and been okay.

This morning I had breakfast out with my dad at Bob Evans. At restaurants, I've been getting egg substitute and fruit, etc... It was pretty yummy. Mexican food is what I miss most. I used to eat it at least once a week at restaurants. My favorite is cheesy nachos, or a steak burrito covered in white cheese sauce. This weekend, I was really craving it, so I had some. Instead of beef, I got a chicken taco and actually ate lettuce on it, it was actually really good and fulfilled my craving. Still a higher sodium and not great meal, but on a rare occasion, a good way to make a slightly healthier decision!

Ten pounds done...lots to go!!!
