Post-Surgery

Having a surgery done stinks, but that is a given. I always avoid having too much downtime and now I know why. I do not do well with lots of free time. It's not that I don't like being alone or relaxing, it's more that I like to be productive with my time. I like to distribute my time throughout the day so I can a. work, b. exercise, c. eat healthy meals, and d. have some time to myself. I don't always have an equal balance of all of these things but I really do strive for that; I guess it's the libra in me.

There are just so many things I would rather be doing than lying around. For one I miss my good workouts and it is giving me an overwhelming worry about getting out of shape, though I realize before I know it, I will be able to be back in my workout mode. My foot will heal pretty quickly I am thinking, and though I may not be able to run or participate in intense cardio for a few weeks, I have high hopes that I'll be able to do some weight-training sessions soon (hopefully by next week or so). For now I am trying to do as much as I can, which includes sit-ups and modified push-ups throughout the day, and eating healthy meals. It looks like once the stitches are out (which will be less than two weeks), I'll be able to do swimming, which I think will be great. For now I will do the best I can and not be too hard on myself. Hopefully around the time of my birthday, I'll have figured out some work-outs that work and I will feel good about myself again.
