Really, I feel like I have been spending too much time at the doctors this week, but my derby wife works at my health insurance company and has rightly pointed out that doing things like foot surgery ($40) and checking my random chest pain isn't indicative of imminent death ($28) are not something I should put off for any reason. Otherwise I'd still be hobbling around, mildly concerned that I was going to have a heart attack if I imbibe 2mg of caffeine more than my daily tolerance (which is shockingly low anyway) and being generally neurotic. Enough about my life. TBT time!
Fitness: My foot is still kinda bleedy (my shiny new running shoes, not so shiny no more...) so I was lame (haha, literally!) and just did some bike stuff, leg presses, weighted squats and generally slacked around as in retrospect I should have taken some painkillers an hour before getting there. I need to book a PT and get a training schedule together once I'm back up to full speed (i.e. can put weight on my right foot).
Aikido: No training on Fridays.
Derby: No skating today. Have pain killers handy for Rose City beginners on Saturday/Sunday if necessary.
Diet: Victory today, actually had weetbix w/ banana rather than a cup of tea for breakfast and only three biscuits for snacks instead of thirty. Renkon for lunch, teriyaki chicken. Sadly disappointing as I normally loves Renkon. Cupcakes and chocolate milk for gym recovery food (probably not too disparate from the standard muesli bars and chocolate milk). Dinner consisting of left over chicken w/ some sort of vegetables. It might not sound like much but seriously, three 'proper' meals a day is a huge improvement.
Sleep: I had something close to 6.5 hours sleep last night, although woke up rather violently several times for unknown reasons. Went to bed slightly later than ideal (around 11.30pm) but felt justified as I had yesterday off and spent many hours napping. Definitely hitting the sack before 11pm tonight, as I probably need to head out around 7.10am tomorrow. I really consider myself a night person so all this early to bed, early to rise helping me achieve my goals is incredibly irritating. But kinda in a good way. As long as I don't think about it too hard.
Feel better about things. Nothing like getting a clean bill of health and my foot seems to be healing well... it's stopped hurting at least so I can attribute that to ignoring the doctors advice about avoiding impact to the area. I figure activity stimulates blood flow which is much better for healing than laying around on the couch. Also the couch is covered in dog fur so all that ends up happening is I smell like German Shepard. I hear that attracts the wrong kind of woman.
