More slow progress, but I'm encouraged

I've been doing the core exercises my doctor gave me, plus some strenghtening with 2 pound dumbbells and pushups. I can bend my toes but not put pressure on them, tried it and the next day new swelling and ouch! So plank and pushups have to be on my knees. But that's okay, it's still moving in the right direction.

I can do cardio in January, signed up for an aerobics class at the local CC which will meet twice a week. I will be careful and take it easy.

My husband is still concerned about my weight loss, he thinks I lost too much. But I'm at the high end of a healthy BMI, and at some point might have to ask my doctor to tell him so.
