On the workout front, I did everything

It’s Thursday night as I type this, so by the time you read this I will be at the doctor’s office getting ready for my surgery. Yep, today’s the day.

At this point, I’m feeling pretty nervous and anxious about the whole thing, and I just can’t wait to get it over with. It feels similar to when you have a big test to take or have to make a big presentation; you just can’t help but have butterflies in your stomach.

Physically I am ready – I know where to go, what to bring, what to wear, etc. But mentally? Well, we can only hope. I’m worried that when I have to say goodbye to Fabio/my parents (all of whom are coming to cheer me on – they’re truly the best) that I will get all emotional. I’m also worried about how I will handle the actual pain; my body has never been through anything like that so I don’t know what to expect. Lastly, I’m worried


about how I’ll feel about not being able to walk for about a month. No walking Jack. No dataset getting up to pee (easily) in the middle of the night. No simple walking from the kitchen to the living room. Everything is going to be a challenge for me, and I already know I’m going to get frustrated. To cope I’m just trying to tell myself not to freak out, but I think we’re just going to wait and see how I wind up handling everything. Cross your fingers!

I could this week to get in as much fitness as possible. In addition to completing a couple of my favorite Kayla Itsines workouts in the cozy warmth of my living room, I also attended a class at Edge Yoga and Urban Athletic Club with Anne. Her friend Kathleen joined us at UAC too!
