@fuelednfit Husband doing OK? My recovery for an appendectomy (age~50) was easy-peazy but I "milked" it for a few days.
Hope he's doing well. 0 -
So wow ... time has flown by and I'm way behind in checking in so here goes!
1. Log everything accurately - CHECK
2. Stay Hydrated - CHECK
3. Reach protein macro (This is really hard for me) - Nope! BUT ... I've only missed it by 8-10 grams so even though a fail I can handle that.
4. Work on my fear of fat (Appropriate for this time of year) - Oh yeah -- I think it's not gonna take me too long to get over this! CHECK
This is basically the same for the last few days so this will bring me up current.1 -

Week one summary. Was lucky to hold on to plan at least some of the time.
I can and will do better next week.
Onward, downward!1 -
October 7: I did my "at home" rotator cuff and bicep exercises. I didn't do them everyday as I said I would but actually the physical therapist told me every other day. So I'm good with that.
This sucks. I won't elaborate other than to say some of these exercises take my breath away with the pain of a not so extreme stretch...
