Tomorrow marks the 5 week mark since my BR surgery. It feels like months! I went back to the surgeon yesterday for a brief boob flashing so he could see how I am healing. Things are going so well I get to skip my next 2 appointments and go back in October. Yay!
Feeling pretty good. I am sleeping better than before, but I do wake up on my side sometimes feeling a bit sore. Before I used to wake myself up when I rolled over - cause it hurt! Now it only hurts after a long period of time, and it is a different kind of hurt.
Training is going well. I can only jog for a couple of minutes at a time, but I just switch to cross trainer or bike so that's fine. I wonder if my breathing will be better when running as my chest is not so constricted by a super tight sports bra strapping in the boobs. It certainly feels more comfortable - my chest expands much more easily now. I need to be able to run for more than 5 minutes to test this out though!
This is my second week of PT school and I'm struggling to get into a routine. I like to have my weekdays planned - I know when I am going to train, eat, work, sleep. Add in 2 nights and a Sunday of study and all of a sudden things are a bit harder to manage. I am also wary of pushing myself too hard. I need to keep in mind that I had major surgery 4 weeks ago and need some energy for healing - I can't do everything. Food planning is a bit harder - I don't get home from school until about 9.30pm so I need to take something to eat in the break. This means carrying a change of clothes, my books, my work handbag AND food in my backpack. Logistics are doing my head in!

I'm thrilled to see how well your surgery has gone! Can we have some more pics?
Also - I started Fitness Cert III a few weeks back - who are you doing it through? I'm doing it through FitNation (online of course)
