Hi all,
I haven't been here in a while. I reformatted my computer and lost all my bookmarks!
I have been really slacking lately in my workout routine. I have horrible bunion pain and it hurts to be on my feet at all. I am having surgery on Friday to fix the left one (the one that hurts the most.) I am going to be out of commission for at least 6 weeks, then I am having surgery on the other foot. So, there goes another 6-8 weeks.
What are some ways I can keep fit while recovering? I thought I could do upper body strength training, back, and abs. I also recently started doing yoga, since it doesn't require me to wear shoes (shoes = terrible pain lately :( ) Any other ideas?
I can't get my foot wet for 2 weeks until my stitches are removed. I thought about swimming laps at the gym. Does anyone know of a website that sells swimwear that I can mix and match tops and bottoms? I need a 12 on top and a 6 on bottom. One pieces are out of the question since I have a super long torso.
Looking more long-term, my Dr. says that once I am fully recovered from both surgeries, I will be able to start running again. :) I quit running almost 2 years ago because of the pain. I can't wait to have my life back!
