Back at it!

It's almost been 3 weeks now and my update visit with my doctor was good. In my progress in walking and swelling, it's almost hard to tell just a few weeks ago I had knee surgery. Now it doesn't mean to jump right into training but to start back slowly. I've held off my training since my surgery so that I can allow all my energy to heal my body and in that I think has helped. Rushing into things usually results in rushing back out of it. So tonight was my second workout upper body and it felt good. My focus is starting to come back and my body is ready again for the construction work to start. Remember in hopes great things to come must have mental prep as well. So I hope these layers of commitment will be a even better return to training.

Thank goodness for accountability and having that workout partner that counts on you to be there. I've teamed back up with my previous training buddy from last year. So it's a nice combination of starting fresh together and having that support each other to get back on track. Tonight's training was back with endless rowing, heavy pulling and did my first cardio machine (elliptical) at 12 minutes cool down and it felt great. The endorphins are activated and my body is happy for the movements again. Going the last 2 weeks feels like 4 weeks for someone that does this as a lifestyle. So again let the journey begin at getting back at it!
