The pain is finally under control. However, that is not
necessarily a great thing since its my dominant hand that is affected! As such,
it's really hard not to use it to do all the silly everyday tasks you normally
take for granted like: showering, brushing the teeth, making a cup of tea,
using the TV remote, and its a good job I'm going thin on top as its a
nightmare trying to do the hair!
The hardest thing to deal with so far has, surprisingly,
not been the lack of exercise (4 months of 4 spin classes a week, no lifting reduced
back to nothing for last 2 weeks!) I guess that is because the body is
welcoming a LONG overdue period of
rest and recovery!? To be honest, the real problem has been adjusting my eating
habits. Trying to restrict the calorie input due to the complete reversal of
calorie output from the lack of training/exercising! I have always been used to
cramming the calories in to keep on top of training and therefore it's a huge
lifestyle change to suddenly switch to the complete opposite!!! The current
situation is exaggerated by the fact that restricting movement and doing
NOTHING makes me incredibly board! And when I'm board i slip back into old
habits, eating! Aaaaaaaargh, the vicious circle! So, i’ve decided the best way to deal with it is clever shopping!
Restrict what is available so
snacking is impossible!
