Happy Friday, my Fabulous FS Followers!

I am just three days post surgery and doing incredible! Because the second hip was less damaged to start with, my hip replacement surgery was only 90 minutes! The orthopedic center has their own overnight program and I was sent home on Wednesday.

I am already able to stand, get up and down from chairs, and the bed with the walker or cane. Lots of ice, elevation and some pain medication are making it much less difficult than the last time.

Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle - Tom Venuto

Goals: 2020-2021
* Down on the Idiot Box while rebuilding muscle
* Bodyfat% reading with trainer once weight is down
* Drink at least 10-12 cups of fresh water/fluids daily
* Continue HIIT mixed in with weight lifting three to five days a week
* Keep up the training notebook to achieve progressive overload

Longer Range Goals:
*Bodyfat at 27% or less
*Longer range body fat goal is 25% - which at my age is great!
*Maintain 160lbs or less staying under goal weight in 2021
*Increased strength, endurance and flexibility during workout

Girl, you are amazing! At the hospital where they did my mom's replacement, they had patients come talk about what helped make their recoveries successful. You should definitely consider a reach out later because your motivation has made your experience remarkable. Way to grab your life back and hope this second recovery will be even faster than the first.

Glad to hear the surgery went well. The great thing about hip surgery is that for my wife it is a *cure* and you *will* be happy once you recover :)
