New Bike

Tomorrow I'm picking up my new bike!

After much debate I'm the proud owner of a Cervelo P2.

And I'm going to make plans for tomorrow. I'm going to make plans to try out my new bike.

Life is good!

Progress

So I finally got in the pool on Sunday.[Again with the snowing. For the record SNOW does not make swimming appealing in the middle of winter!]

I had a great swim.

This was the first time in the pool in five weeks, four week post surgery and first time trying out the new body. Something worked because I managed to swim 1800 meters. Normally I spit and sputter after 400meters and stand at the end trying to catch my breath while letting all the other swimmers pass![I truly suck] But not this time for some reason?[Could it be the elusive 'progress']

Even while swimming this miraculous 1800 meters I kept thinking, "I'm so slow!". And then I thought, "Be grateful you can even swim!"

I was so pleased with my progress in the pool that I came home and announced my progress to my boyfriend and his three girls. In his typical 'call my ego down' style, he stood and gave me a standing ovation. [big smile]

Starting Over

I got the OK from the doctor!!!!!!

I am allowed to work out and get back in the pool.

YIPPEE!!!! (who knew that I could get so excited at the thought of going back to the gym!)

But I have plans and goals and I've had to put everything on hold for the past 3 1/2 weeks and it's been hard for me.

Back to the drawing board. Time to start over!

And now I begin executing my plan.

Details to come.

Oh. AND. My boobs are so fantastic!! The scars are healing nicely, and in the words of my Doctor, "You look like a twenty year old...".[roaring laughter and a gentle blush]
