After a good night's sleep, some good music, a good movie and a good laugh, I am feeling way less stressed and tired and over everything. Funny what a difference 10 hours of sleep can make.
The new gym should be open mid this week. I am hanging out for it - we've got spin bikes with computers, lots of leg machines, spaces for me to hang my therabands, mats for abs, rowing machines and normal bikes. I can't wait until I can start using the fun stuff like the TRX and kettlebells and the synrgy.
I'm still banned from treadmills and using the stride handles on the cross trainers until I see the surgeon in January for my six month post-op checkup. I'm also temporarily banned from the rower until I get enough strength up to use it. Probably that will have to wait until I see Ash (my awesome surgeon) in January also. So, for now it's spin bike, cross trainer with no arms, core work and legs.
I'll soon be able to come home for lunch, walk to work and work out again. Having had no gym access for the last two months has sucked and I have so much stuff for the gym in my house that I can't set up my bike on the mag trainer anyway. Bring on the spin bikes! I'll start going back through my coach Jamie's initial programs for bike and run stuff, and look at what else I can do. Hopefully my physio can write me a program for the arm and shoulder stuff.
So, my routine will now look something like this:
Monday - train in the morning and work
Tuesday - physio, work and cardio
Wednesday - train in the morning and work
Thursday - physio, work and cardio
Friday - day off, errands and training
Saturday - physio and work
Sunday - day off and rest day
I'll throw some Zumba in somewhere as it will help with killing the boredom I get from the incessant physio exercises. Yes, they are absolutely necessary but they are so freaking BORING!!!
I'm now off to grab some breakfast, do the washing and shopping, tidy the house, then chill out with a movie tonight before the most feral week of my life kicks in!
