Today I am off to the State fair and all the walking I will do there will count as my exercising for the day. I'm going to watch the parade and then get in for free afterwards. I've planned my day and will bring my protein shake, water and supplements to take while I'm there. I also plan on staying away from the food areas and just spend time looking at the animals and exhibits and probably do a little bit of people watching. Like CT I find this amusing! Have a great day!

Sounds like a real fun way to get in some exercise. Have fun!!
I'll be heading to the gym this afternoon for some one on one time with the treadmill!

I have seen 209 on the scale for 2 days now, I'm scared to claim it for some reason so I'm going to wait and make sure it stays through the weekend!

I did get a lot of walking in today and then some. I found myself tiring easily and had to sit a few times and just people watch. The only problem with that was it hurt sitting on the tailbone for more than a few minutes at a time!
I had a good time though and stayed away from the food booths! I couldn't find any place to do chin ups like CT.... darn, I was looking to blow away his record!!!!

I took my first car ride today since the surgery. (or at least the first one since the ride home from the hospital). It was a bit bumpy still and the insides weren't totally thrilled but better than the one from the hospital!!!

We went to see Contagion at the movies. It was pretty good. It was funny because the movie was supposed to start at 11:30am and there was NOBODY there except all the people that wanted to see the movie! They showed up about 11:35am and then when employee's started showing they said the theater opened at noon. And we said our tickets stated 11:30am the show starts (we bought them computer). They were a bit nonchalant about it. We finally sat down at 11:48am. But the movie was fabulous! Enjoyed it and my husband gave it a 5 out of 5 stars and he never does that! And when we were leaving the screening room they gave us all free tix to another show! Right on!

Anyway, we went to an open air mall and we walked for over 20 minutes. Which is the longest for me since surgery. It has been a week and 3 days. So, I don't know at what point you can start excercising. I feel a bit weak sometimes. I don't know if this feeling is something I will get used to because of the minimal calories or what. We did go to Panera and my hubby got creamy tomatoe soup and I had my little bit and he at the rest. It was the cheapest lunch we ever ate!!!

Moto I'm glad you and DH enjoyed the movie and good for you for getting out and walking! I would wait until you get your doctors go ahead on beginning anything else other than your walking. You are still so very early out and feeling weak is completely normal. I still get tired easily and have to rest now and then. You are doing great! Hugs
