Along with trying to get my cardio back, I'm also hitting the weight room hard.  I am heavier when I am in better shape.  I'm making sure I eat as much protein as possible.  
Trying to get back into shape after something like this is a challenge, a really difficult challenge - as I suspect anyone who has had major surgery knows.  Getting cardio and muscle mass back is far from a breeze.  But maybe, just maybe, the glass is half full.  I also really like working out.  I enjoy a challenge.  It's fun to get stronger every time I hit the gym, or faster every time I run, swim or ride (I'm doing a lot of intervals because I hear that is the quickest way to get cardio back.  I'm also skipping.)
Dec. 27th is my next appointment/weigh in.  I don't have a specific goal in terms of weight, but I want to have continued to improve in leaps and bounds (and lengths, weights, intervals - sorry - that's a terrible joke.  I'm leaving it in!)
