I'm pleased that the big toe seems to be generating a normal toenail, but it is far from looking 100 percent normal. Lately, there's been sporadic pain in the nail bed but I'm attributing that to "growing pains" because anything else would be terrifying.
It takes me longer than usual to finish because today is fraught with interruptions. The backs of my legs are sore and stiff. My glutes have become painfully sore from sitting in front of my laptop. This is one of the reasons I have started doing "at-home workouts." Never mind that my clothes are too tight! I'm under no delusion without strenuous cardio I'll be able to lose this newly re-acquired baggage but maybe I'll be able to slow it down. Or at least tighten some flabby muscles. I'm not brave enough to step on the scale. Maybe next week.I spend a lot of time "warming up" and save the perilous one-legged deadlifts for last. The leg circles require that I stand on one leg although I suppose I used to do this lying flat on my back. Circling inward and outward reminds me of Mr. Miyagi's "wax on and wax off" in that classic flick The Karate Kid. Although I do occasionally touch the sofa for support, for the most part, the one-legged deadlifts are easier and more consistent today. Perhaps it's just that I spent a lot of time warming up. Or perhaps my ankles and arches are a tad stronger?
