My first big outing...

Jun 25, 2011

So, my first big outing was last night. Hubby needed a few things and I needed to get somewhere that I could walk for a decent amount of time. It's hot here and I can only do so much because my tummy really hurts when I walk for more than a few minutes. We talked about the grocery store or Target, but those are usually really busy and the aisle are narrower. More chance for someone to accidently bump the cart and into me.

So, off we went to Wal-Mart. I'm not a fan, but the big aisles and "we have everything" was perfect. I was able to take it really slow and strolled around for 20 minutes while he flitted around getting produce, a few meats and things we needed. It was great to be moving around for that long. My tummy is really sore and being able to lean on the cart while I walked was absolute bliss. Hubby had a great idea! I'm less sore this morning so I wonder if that helped or not. It definitely helped with my state of mind! I really needed to get out of the house.

I finally dropped a couple of pounds today. I had gained five after surgery that didn't want to go away. Fluids or whatever. I wasn't obsessing but didn't mean to weigh this early out. I thought I might have after feeling my clothes on me yesterday. Glad I jumped on this morning. Helped my psyche.
