Warm up video

Lower body strength, had to modify some things because of my toe but figured something was better than nothing. It felt a bit swollen, but not super painful. Cut out all high impact exercises.

Cool down stretch

Upper body strength video.

My foot is hurting less and the swelling has gone down, but now it's purple (I'm assuming bruising). So strange. It's still not 100% comfortable though.

Fifth metatarsal joint is still inflamed and painful to put weight on. My googling suggests it may be a synovitis, bursitis, or capsulitis. I've been icing a bit to try to get the swelling down. I think it's a bit better than last night. Avoiding any high impact activities though, so no WET tonight for me and maybe no Lynn Valley WJR. The unexpectedness is especially frustrating, there was not a lot of warning.

Did the pilates, yoga, stretch video from Saturday that I missed to move a little bit.

Upper body strength (including warm up and cool down).

For some reason, my joint near my baby toe on my right foot suddenly started swelling. There was no discernible trauma, but now it's swollen, red, tight feeling, and painful to put weight on... We'll see if it goes down soon (fingers crossed). This is on top of slicing my finger with a bread knife today, sigh.

Back on my Fitness Blender video schedule. I just skipped Friday's total body strength and Saturday's optional stretch. Maybe I'll add them in at some point later, but I think that was the right call. Today was a mix of HIIT and lower body strength activities. Not feeling super motivated before I started, but glad I got it done. Included a warm up and cool down.
