Yayz finally :)

Last night I slept without the binder & honestly it felt good to go to sleep without it. I did wake up at times with some random soreness, but nothing bad enough for me to throw it on. I haven't been wearing it tight for real compression since days after I got the 2nd drain out, just fyi, I've been tightening it when I have MR soreness &/or swelling. Of course after every workout I have it off for 30 mins to an hour, so yea. I think it won't be so hard to get used to not wearing it, the weirdness is in clothes [more specifically PANTS] being on the belly above the incision without the binder. So I'll have to get used to that. Oh and Kelly mine usually creases too between the top & middle panels, it's sorta at the natural waistline, a wee bit annoying.

Anyhow, I have absolutely NO lower body soreness from yesterday's workout. Sometime either yesterday or the day before I figured I'd try to add a mile @ 4 mph to the 2 I did the other day. I figured if my body protests I'll stop earlier, no biggie. Well I did it. So I did 3 miles in 45 minutes of walking [4.0 mph 2% incline] + the 10 minutes of warm-up & cool down which added on over another half mile. So yep, I definitely feel ready to start jogging now! Couch to 5K will be starting on Saturday :)

I got past a hump in # days eating clean yesterday, so I am finally feeling like I can do this more again. I added in a 6th meal yesterday (though it was hard & I was forgetting to eat). I think I got more calories, at least a little bit anyway. One more workout for the week and I've finally made it a solid week, yay!
