Returning to Work in NYC - commuting with a spinal fusion (a vlog)

[@heydarrell]

I'm glad you were able to go back to your old theatre and not feel overwhelmed by that environment! And that 11 minute walk is still a great time! Proud of you for getting back into it. You're going to be back to pre-surgery work routines in no time!

Haha I will say that it's nice to have an excuse to not run or move fast, so I'll keep that. 🤣

Welcome back GIRLIE! so happy to see all the progress and the MILESTONES you continue to crush so stay steady and I can’t wait to hear more. Nyc has missed u!

[@theboringkaren]

❤️❤️❤️❤️ I don’t know if I’ve missed it. 🤣

[@lesley1canada908]

You got this!!! Slow and steady. 🥰🥰

[@theboringkaren]

That’s what I keep telling myself! 💪💪

[@xingcat]

I'm so glad you (despite some lingering pain) have made so much progress on everything. The fact that you're back at work is, selfishly, good news for me, because I could pop down and see you sometime!! And I have all the time free now! (That's not so great, but it can be in the short term.)

[@theboringkaren]

Yes, reunion!! ❤️

[@bethmeredith]

Great to see you Girl! You're looking great. I love your attitude keep that determination going..you can do it! Congrats on getting back to work..so many changes you've had to deal with and in my opinion you've still done an awesome job of overcoming obstacles and moving forward and I for one am just so proud of you. Hugs 😊

[@theboringkaren]

Aww thank you, Beth. 😭💜 It’s been a crazy year.

[@allibee33]

Good on you for accepting the fact that it's trial and error, I find that's the hardest part 😅

[@theboringkaren]

I was really stuck in the mentality that weight loss has to be a certain way because that's what I always heard and people still say it online! But once I had the epiphany that everybody will actually have a unique and different experience, it helped make figuring things out so much easier for me!

[@allibee33]

@@theboringkaren I completely understand! I thought I had to do what I've done in the past, but that was about a decade ago, so I'm starting to realize I might need to change that approach because I'm older.

[@theboringkaren]

@@allibee33 Oh yes! Age will surely be a factor! I definitely recommend tracking to notice patterns if that's something you're comfortable with. That helps me out a lot and is so insightful to see the bigger picture.

I am new to your channel. To keep from having to go waaaaay back (which i will do, slowly) what kind of work do you do? Thanks for sharing your journey.
