Progress while in Rehab

So, here's the deal... last night I went down on my scooter. I'm banged, bruised, strained, scraped, and otherwise not in a condition to "push it hard" for the next few days. This is FRUSTRATING (in addition to painful) because I've been making such good (if slow) progress. Another concern is my eating... when one is in pain and being "pampered", comfort food becomes the norm. There is no concern to calories, or food composition beyond whether it tastes good and provides emotional support.

I will not, however, be cast down or allow myself to let this set me back. No, I will not be stupid and go to the gym and "work through it". No, I am neither that "macho" nor that stupid! I shall take this time to do more holistic self-improvement... yoga, qi gung, and meditation. It all works, and should all be used! As soon as the strains are mended and my torn skin out of bandages I will be back in the gym sweating it out and pushing my limits physically -- until then, I shall push myself in more etheric but not less rigorous exercising.

Cautious Progress

I'm not sure how I managed to strain my ankle, as it was done (by all I can figure out) while I was sleeping... all I can think is that I slept with my foot in an odd position for an extended time and tressed the tendons. What ever the reason, I have a tender shin.
This puts me in the uncomfortable situation of not wanting to forego my workouts which are showing progress, but also not wanting to do further injury to my foot/ankle/leg. So all workouts must consider foot positioning, flexing, and what presses against my leg. Still, I can and do manage :)
