Thanks for the update, Ms T-Cake! Don't make us break out the 
on you for feeling like you won't catch up because of a few missed days. You've had surgery - kindly cut yourself a break here 
Look at everything you've accomplished already. I doubt anyone or anything can stop you from moving forward at this point....
I'm glad you've been able to get out. I love that you got a hooters t-shirt
Continue to take it easy, let Ulter help you when you need and I'm sure you'll be back to where you were in no time.

Bunz, I just PMed you back.*Bunny* said:
Today was the 2 week mark for me from my breast aug, and I feel awesome about it. They still feel like a part of me, no weirdness whatsoever. My energy level is back and aside from the scars (and the fact that they are harder right now than normal breasts), there's really no signs that I did anything (aside from the obvious large change, hehe).
Anyway, today was the day I was allowed to go back to the gym
THANK GOODNESS! The bloating was driving me crazy and it is SO HARD to cut calories from 1600 down to 1200. I can eat 1600 a day withouth problems... but it's only for maintenance if I'm not working out, so last week I just ate 1600 and bit the bullet on no weight loss. Soooo the water piled up.Well today I was back in full force -- did a.m. cardio and managed 10 minutes on the bike to warm up my knees... and 40 more minutes on the stairmill levels 7 to 9. I sweat my butt off and man, it felt GREAT. I made sure to warm up and cool down and stretch real well to make sure I don't hurt myself, so no worries there.
I still can't do anything bouncy, like run or ellipticals, and I can't row or do anything push/pull. My guess: I have another appt in 2 weeks. I am hoping that by then I can burn the surgical bra... and he'll either tell me I can go back to running... but still no lifting... or he might be super nice and give me full clearance. Doubt that -- I think it'll be Jan. 1 before I can lift again but that's ok.
Now I"m just worried about that Disney Half Marathon Jan. 6th! I need to be sure my shins are in decent shape by then so I don't totally blow it. Arrghhhhh! Tricky!
Later babes.
Great! Glad to hear the Disney Half Marathon is still on! Is that the leuk/lymph one ?
I told ww to wear a razor back bra with support (like the lightly padded ones from VS) under her sports bra & she agreed it helped quite a bit
The girls should stay put.
Nice work with the diet.. water is annoying but it'll be gone, no worries

Good advice on the bra -- I actually bought a M sportsbra a couple months ago and got home to realize they changed how those fit, so they were too big. At the time I was annoyed, but it was great to have a bra the last couple mornings to wear at the gym without having to shop again!*Bunny* said:Great!

My "twins" are staying put real well. I don't really feel any difference between when I have my bra ON and when I don't... and I think a lot of that (again) may have to do with that I had the skin already there and stretched out... so my body is adjusted to having a large chest already (since it was only 10 months ago or so that I did legitimately have one!) I just want to be able to wear PRETTY bras... and leave it off at night. Soon enough, soon enough.
Today was better in the land of TRAINING:
Cardio
I managed 10 minutes on the stationary bike and then 45 minutes on the stairmill (levels 6 to 9) this morning before work. After school, I walked another mile and a half while coaching the Running Club (since I can't run right now... I still go and coach the kids and cheer them on -- we have two coaches so the kids still have people to help them!)
Food
I ate dinner and am fixin' for a snack here soon so I should finish the day around 1500 calories or so... and probably 45% protein, 35% carbs and the rest good fats. Not too bad... still working on feeling toned up again, but I think that will REALLY kick in once I lift again.
Ta-ta for now!

Just keep doing the eliptical for cross training until you can run again, it should keep your cardio up there....good luck with the 1/2 ..my goal is a 1/2 in the spring....5-10K are good right now lol for me
