Father... it has been 3 weeks since my last workout!

The biggest challenge I've had during my surgery recovery has been laying around all day with nothing to do.

For the last year, my mornings start with 1 hour of vigorous exercise. Once the adrenaline kicks in my mind starts to race with new business ideas... blog topics... I feel alive... I'm happy... and I have so much energy that I'm bursting at the seams... and it seems like there aren't enough hours in the day! But... now that I've been stationary for 3 weeks... I basically watch the clock (often in 15 minute intervals) wondering how time is passing so slowly... I find myself just laying there staring into space completely bored out of my skull. There have been a couple times where I snapped out of my daze and asked myself... was I seriously just staring at that ornate object for the last 30 minutes with absolutely no thoughts running through my head?

I'm sort of glad it's raining this week... because if it was sunny out... I'd want to be running... oh I miss running... actually I miss the adrenaline.

Though mentally I'm drained from doing nothing... on the positive side... at my check-up last week, the nurse said I'm healing quicker then they expected and she was very happy with the progress of my recovery (no surprise to me... afterall I am an overachiever)!

At this point, except for exercise... I can do pretty much do all activities that I could before... I even dressed myself this weekend without assistance (yeah for me)! But... at this point, I can't imagine any high-impact exercise like running or bootcamp in my near future... but hopefully within the next month I'll be back to running (or at least short intervals)! *fingers and toes crossed* I'm pretty certain it will be August before I'm joining my booty sistas at bootcamp again.

I wish I could write something inspiring or thought provoking right now... but I can't. My mind is numb... but don't worry... I'll be back... and when I am WATCH OUT!
