Coping with My New Challenge
I am trying really hard to not get depressed about lack of mobility right now. I want my foot to heal quickly so I can get back to my running routine. I have continued to watch what I eat. I am hoping that I will drop some weight during this down time. It may make it a little easier for me when I can start my training again. I have found a couple exercise solutions I can do with my injury. I elevate my feet on the couch and I do sit-ups. I am also using 3 lb. weights to do some curls and other arm exercises that I can do sitting with my leg propped up. I go back to the doctor next Wednesday and I hope that she will tell me I can get back to my training soon.

Hi Michelle,
ReplyDeletemy name is Claudia Shedd and I am a mom of 3, living in Avalon Park. When I read this blog I immediately thought of my friend Mary Lou who was in almost the same position as you.... trying to lose weight but being in a recliner after foot surgery. She lost 75 pounds all together (not all of it in the recliner) :-)
Check out her website at www.Coach4Hope.com
and let me know if you want her phone number, she is very happy to talk and give people hope.
upwards and onwards,
Claudia
Thank you so much Claudia. I will definitely check out her site.
