Aww, Kristi, hope your toe feels better soon! Just think – it could have been an arm or a whole leg! Much better a toe if you look at the whole picture (or body, in this case).

LOVE the loose tea pot!! I’ve been eyeing one from Mighty Leaf for a while, but just don’t have the funds to buy it yet … I have many bags of loose tea at home and love them, but it can be such a hassle to brew.

Maybe a Christmas gift to myself – what do you think?

Awww…. so sorry to hear about your sister’s injury. Working out with an injury is no fun. With a toe injury, I think running on an elliptical would be suitable. Hope she gets well soon. Cheer your sister up by baking her something special and naming it after her. It always cheers me up when someone bakes me something. Or make a psudo-edible arrangement flower arrangement for your sister.

Yikes…good thing it’ll heal pretty quickly (I hope!!). I would take advantage of this time to do some ab exercises and upper body weights! I hope it isn’t too painful and that you are getting around okay!!

Kristi, I hope your toe feels better soon! Maybe you can use this time for extra flexibility. If you’re anything like me, it’s easy to skimp on stretching when you’re trying to balance working out & the rest of life! Use this time to take a breather and stretch away!!

Obviously running and other impact exercises are out for your poor sister, but she could still do upper body strength training. Which is definitely better than nothing.

Feel better soon!

Just remember Kristi that this is a small stepping stone in your life that once you get past will make you stronger! Be thankful for everything you still have and can do.

Since you can not run maybe you could work on strength training moves, such as lef lifts while laying on your side. And I’m not sure how well this would work but maybe you could try to only used the middle of your foot and heel to push the pedals on a bike machine for some cardio.

Hi I love the shot glass!
Kristi – I hope you feel better soon. Try not to be too down just becuase you can’t exercise, your body needs rest right now and it will appreciate the rest you give it! If your leg is sore you could focus on upper body moves for your exercise. An idea might be using a large exercise ball to support your legs and do push ups or punch a boxing bag while supporting your legs by sitting on the exercise ball. Good Luck xoxo
