back from doc with exercise news

[Guest guest]

Well, I went today at 3 p.m. and the doc told me that I was allowed

to go to the gym. Just no strength training until 10 weeks. He also

gave me the okay to use the pool. I just have to take a really good

shower when I get home since my one incision is still healing up. So

that was the verdict. I am so glad. I cannot wait. We have a Curves

here too and I was thinking of joining but the base gym is free and

I am afraid I will not be able to get off base during the snow

season to attend regularly. We also talked alot about food and he

told me that he will not schold me for eating anything unless it is

fried or sugary. He told me peanut butter is not a great idea

because 1 TPSP has 100 calories and you could eat much more for that

100 calories. He also told me that the half of hot dog I ate in

Texas was Ok but not the right choice. He said cheese with a few

crackers are great, eggs (of course) and he said the meatballs I

made last night in the crockpot was a really good thing. He also

said to stick with the crab and shrimp. I asked him about carbs and

he said we need them. He said wheat bread, rice, pasta and potatoes

are ok in moderation. So I feel a lot better now after talking with

him. I had meatballs for lunch AND dinner...haha. Hope everyone is

having a great night!!
