Making lemonade.

So I'm about a month into this recovery, and it's been discouraging. I lost my drive for awhile, and I was sick, and I got bogged down trying to bounce back from that. Anyway, I'm bounced back, and the house is clean, and I have a new daily schedule mapped out, including keeping up with the housework. I'm ready to go. 

I am going to focus on yoga the next week or two, and start back to cycling. Then I'll work in my strength work again and start rebuilding my muscles.  In January, instead of going back to Bodyshred, I'm probably going to do something lower impact. I really want this foot to heal so I don't re-injure it. I'm going to have to put in more time until I'm able to go back to high intensity, but it will be worth it. 

I'm beyond ready to feel comfortable in my body again, and I'm really determined to do what it takes to get there, and I'm pretty sure that in March, when Declsn is less reliant on me for his nutrition, I can start making faster progress! 

Injury, setbacks, rolling with the punches

I planned to be almost halfway through bodyshred right now. That's not where I am, sadly. I have plantar fasciitis, and that has changed my whole trajectory. For the past week and a half, I've been resting, and getting used to the idea that my journey is taking a little different route right now. I am very frustrated and discouraged but I'm really trying not to focus on that. I don't know what my results goals look like right now, and can only really focus on keeping the habit of fitness up and improving in the areas in able. 

I can't do any exercise with impact, so it's yoga, swimming (but the pools at the gym are still closed right now), no impact strength training, and cycle. I'm going to have to put in more time than I've been so far if I want to continue to improve, but since the intensity will be lower, I can probably do it with less procrastination. Haha! 

I'm nervous what my return to "real" workouts will look like, and what will happen to my cardiovascular conditioning over the next 2 months, but, that's not something I can really control right now. I just have to focus on eating very clean as much as I'm able, (yay holidays)  and giving my very best in each workout. 

This month I'm doing Beginner Shred level 1 and 2, a lot of yoga (4d a week), and cycle 2x a week. I'm also going to continue working on my planks, push ups, and other bonus work.
