The past few days, I have been feeling really crappy about myself. Normally, I would wake at 5:25, get my workout clothes on and bound up the stairs, excited to start my day! And well, being housebound, not allowed to exercise and wearing baggy, elastic waist band pants doesnt exactly make one feel good about themselves. So this morning, I said Screw this! (dont worry, I didnt exercise or do anything that is going to hinder my recovery), I dug out my favorite pair of Levi red tabs and decided that I was going to wear them today. I took my shower and got dressed, real dressed (not pajama bottoms and crappy t shirt dressed), put on some mascara and a touch of eye shadow. I feel like a new person! My lower abdomen is still swollen and tender, but the jeans fit, even have a little wiggle room (not as much as before, but I know that once the swelling is gone they will be perfectly loose again). Will I be able to stay in my jeans the whole day? Probably not, because I will swell as the day goes on. But thats okay! I am making progress in my recovery, daily. Today IS going to be a good day!
