Little Win: Went for a Walk!

I did the 'Aptiv Start Walking' walk today! 👊🏼

15 whole minutes!! 👊🏼👊🏼

A year and a half ago, I was in a wheelchair and couldn't get from my bed to the bathroom because of pain. And now after a lonnnnng process of treatments and surgeries and tears... I am beginning my new physical journey.

And. I. Am. So. Excited!!!!!!!

I am also sore. Since the walk, I have had this almost tingling sensation throughout my body... I've convinced myself it is my metabolism jump-starting. Who knows?! It could very well be my stimulatora, too. But I liked the idea of turning into a fat burning machine better!

My goal is to do it again tomorrow, but I am also going to be very cautious. But for now, I will have a mental dance party (too wiped for a real one right now)!

UPDATE (next morning):

I am definitely feeling 40-50% better, which was the goal, however, I was kind of hoping that it would feel more like 80% better. I can do more things for sure but after that walk yesterday, I was dying in pain last night for hours. So, I just need to see what I can do with my new limits... one baby step at a time.
