"Moving" Forward

I am feeling so much better. I am back to wearing a sport bra and I even went bowling over the weekend and broke 100 without getting sore. I have a strange "bruised," feeling on my rib, but other than that, I have regained full range of motion in my arm and have so much more energy. Since I'm not officially released back to work full time until the end of the month, I figured no time like the present to use this time and work on feeling even better and creating a workout routine. I have an elliptical machine upstairs but every time I thought about using it, I'd do laundry instead. I simply cannot motivate myself. So, I decided to go the route of hiring a personal trainer. Costly for sure, but I have a feeling it will be absolutely worth it. The gym is two blocks away, so I can ride my bike.... eventually :)

I met with Brittany for the first time today. Amazingly my niece is friends with her (small world), so she was highly recommended and I didn't even know it. Brittany is patient, attentive, knowledgeable and most importantly: motivating! She hates cheese except mozzarella just like me and the icing on the cake (I need to stop the cake) is that she is shaving her head in solidarity for the St. Baldricks Foundation, a charity researching cures for childhood cancers. Her mother is also a breast cancer survivor. I feel like it was meant to be.

We're going to meet twice a week to start and I know I'll already be sore tomorrow, but it will be a good sore for once. Not a post-surgery or post treatment sore that requires a Norco just to sleep.
