So, I can’t believe it, but it has been exactly one year since I had open heart surgery! WOW!

Overall am doing pretty great. Have so much more energy, and am still walking every day. Now trying to figure out if I should keep taking the subway (which is great exercise, all those stairs and the walk, or park at work, which this company actually covers, so it would be cheaper). Thing is, the extra steps in the subway are what I think is helping me lose weight, so I will continue for now, even if I do sweat so much I need an extra shirt and towel to go to work with!

Body is still getting in shape. My left hip is hurting, and when I walk fast, trying to beat my average pace my legs often cramp up. Chest does get sore too, though not as bad, and is more just the scar being sore than being too sore (at least right now, well see how I am in a few weeks of these hours).

Still trending down in weight, though slowly. When I don’t have the extra steps, which gets me up towards 10,000 steps, plus all the stairs I am slowing down, but with the extra exercise I do really trend down faster, so it almost worth the extra time and money. Hmmm.

Couldn’t be more thankful for the surgery! It really has changed my life! Now I just need to turn my body around as it isn’t used to being able to exercise this much and is sore, and sweats too much (boy I hope that gets at least somewhat better).
