January fitness challenge



Recommended Posts

750 yards swimming. Really was not feeling it. Fluff...I know you can relate to this since you swim regularly....but it hurt my broken toe to kick my feet in the freestyle. I could do side stroke and breast stroke with no pain. Those frog kicks didn't seem to bother me. Unfortunately I suck at breast stroke....and both of those strokes are more tiring to me so I did not get my full distance. I hope I can return to running in a couple of days. Meanwhile...here's a little piggy that is nicely swollen.

OMG BUTTER!! And you still go on...you're my hero!

Poor Butter. I can relate. I was thinking you might try to buddy tape that, but I'm not sure if it would work. Does your pool have swim fins? It might hurt like a b***h to put them on but they would probably support that toe.

Even so, 750 m is completely respectable, especially doing uncomfortable strokes! Good for you.

Maybe try taping across the foot, just to support it?

Man, Butter, that looks painful! Does icing it help? Maybe taping the toes for support?

My goal for January is 16 hours of exercise. I'm hoping to start c25k too, but that will depend on my back getting/staying healthy.

I'm going to BR in Feb. I had my surgery after participating in a long term study at LSU's Pennington Biomedical Research Facility. As part of the study I need to go back at 6 months post-op, 1 yr, 2 yrs, 3 yrs, 4 yrs, and 5 yrs. I live on the Westbank in New Orleans.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
