I would google for post-hysterectomy abs exercises, since the surgery would be in the same area more or less:
http://www.livestrong.com/article/166400-ab-exercises-for-patients-recovering-from-hysterectomy/ The "head sit-up" looks like a good start.

One I know of that is pretty easy to start with is to sit straight and suck in your belly and hold. Just tighten the muscles and hold it for a count of ten. Do that ten times, and you'll feel it, especially when you start out. It sounds 'too easy' but it's actually effective in getting the muscles activated. So if you don't know where to start, start there.

Nice choices!


I had a special K cereal bar for breakfast, just had some seafood chowder left over from last night for lunch with a 4" piece of cabatta bread with my chipolte mustard and a slice of reduced fat cheddar cheese. I probably won't have a snack as I'm not very hungry anymore.

1 last cup of coffee to run me the rest of the afternoon, with sugar free creamer.

Haven't planned dinner, but its looking like veggie stir fry. (Over rice for the family, no rice for me.)

I'm planning on another walk this afternoon with the little one, probably closer to 3.

Breakfast was steel-cut oatmeal with some of my dehydrated apples.

I have a new app on my phone that reminds me to go exercise. It's reminding me. I should get dressed and go do that.

Ham and tomato omelette for breakfast here, wasn't hungry at lunchtime. Dinner was Thai Green Curry with tons of veg. No rice or noodles. I also went on a 2 mile walk with the dogs today. My reward is a nice glass of red wine this evening.

Ok, I've been off the bandwagon for the past week b/c I was at a conference (impossible to adhere when you're eating whatever food they decide to feed you), but I'm baaaack! Back to my normal coffee and Nutrigrain bar this morning. I'm sure I haven't lost weight this week (probably gained), but it is what it is and now I'm ready to start again.

Well, havne't gone to exercise yet. Did dress and tend to the flock though.

Dinner last night was prosciutto and lemon stuffed pork loin with colcannon as a side. This was the first time I made colcannon - it was really good. And DH's blood sugar was fine afterwards. Yay! We each only had one slice of the pork loin, so about 4 ounces of meat. And the colcannon, I used about equal volume of cooked cabbage and cooked potatoes, so it wasn't terribly high carb. Turned out really yummy.

ETA: I thought of Oesdog while I was making and eating the colcannon.

Today I got on my bike and rode to Trader Joe's for groceries! I stopped by the bike shop too. So I got a whopping 2.2 miles in.

Still, it felt good to do it!
