Friday, Week 28

I recruited 2 of my co-workers to go to Zumba with me during lunch! I'm really looking forward to that. It was a lot of fun last Friday. It's $6 for each drop-in class or $5 per class if you sign up for the whole session. But, with my ear surgery next week, I definitely can't sign up for any full sessions.

Last night was a doozy regarding my ear. It was one of the worst nights - definitely the worst one in a while. I'll be glad when the surgery is over and I'm finished with recouperating. It will be good to have this problem fixed. And, hopefully the tube that he puts in will keep this problem from recurring next year.

I've signed up for one final private trapeze lesson with my instructor for Monday at 6pm. So, I'll get a start with learning the level 2 tricks, and hopefully I won't get too behind while I'm out for the 4 weeks.

I received my packet from the ear doctor's office about my surgery, and it is 4 full weeks of no exercise - specifically no running, no lifting weights, no lifting anything more than 10-20 pounds at all, no sports, nothing to get myself out of breath or straining. Perhaps I'll be able to do some slow walking in the 3rd or 4th week, maybe something like that. The most important thing is that I'll need to try to maintain a positive outlook - and keep my stress level low.

Also, I can monitor my nutrition and keep that decent. I expect I'll put on a little weight in the 4 weeks, but that's ok. My goal is to keep my weight below 118lbs. And, maybe I won't really gain all that much. But, at least this goal should keep me in check with my nutrition and health. And, eating right might actually help my body recouperate faster.
