Party's Over
Off the crutches 6 days ago. Time to get back into things. Remember Overunder, start slowwwww.
I have been doing a daily regimen of Physio exercises twice a day since Nov 17. Its been helpful. Lightweight by the usual standards, but helpful.
Last week I started weight bearing exercises. Again nothing challenging by usual standards, but more than enough for my little Kate Moss leg. Its tiny, and often needs attention.
Yesterday I went back to the Goodlife. It felt good, sort of homey, and I was happy to see a bunch of new douchebags working their phone muscles and grunting in small groups in between sets.
I laid down 12, 6, 5 pull ups just to test the waters. I was a little winded. Hopped on the bike (really quite helpful in my condition) for some perineum abuse. I biked for 20 mins and kept my heart rate between 144 and 161 the whole time. Some stretching afterward and 5 x 10 push ups and sit ups.
Its a small start, and it seems a long way to go judging by how I felt after this, but what are you gonna do? Whimper and die? Did that last month...

A tabata a day
Without much free time and out of the habit of working out, I've scraped together a desperation-style regimen that consists of one simple premise: a tabata a day.
Four minutes. That's all I get/need/do. And I have to do it while Tim's asleep. (When I tried to do it with him around, he ended up on my back while I was doing push-ups. I gave up on round 2.)
I've done one or two every day (except Sunday) for the past week. Eight tabatas. Of any exercise I can think of. I've done squats, sit-ups, push-ups (knees), ham curls on the ball, one-legged bridges, and bench dips.
My total reps for the week: 857. (Per tabata high: squats=154; Per tabata low: push-ups=66.)
