1 week in my cast...

Today is 1 week since I fell down and fractured my foot. I was really bummed at 1st but things are starting to look better. However Im not going to say that this week has been easy, NOT at all, being home all day with my foot up on a pillow sucks big time, and everytime I have to do anything its like a mission. Even taking a shower is a mission with this cast. I can definetely say that thanks to the 5 weeks of P90X I am stronger and it has helped me get around in these crutches. I had to modify my workouts to fit my needs, so I am continueing my workouts with a few modification. I started on a Monday so that my rest day could be on Sundays, well now because of my fracture my rest day is every other day since I can not do cardio. Week 7 starts Monday and my workouts right now look like this:
Monday:
Chest, Shoulders and Triceps:
Chest-I do the push ups on my knees.
Shoulders and triceps-I lift the weights sitting on a chair.
No Ab Ripper X!
Tuesday:
Rest, since I should be doing Plyometrics and I can not do it with my cast on.
Wednesday:
Back and Biceps:
Back-I do the pull-ups with the resistance bands sitting on a chair.
Biceps-I lift the weights sitting on a chair.
No Ab Ripper X!
Thursday:
Rest, since I should be doing Yoga X and I can not do Yoga with my cast.
Friday:
Legs and Back:
NO Legs, I cant with my cast
Back-I do the pull-ups sitting on a chair with the resistance bands.
Saturday and Sunday:
Rest, since I can not do Kenpo X my favorite workout on Sat cuz of my cast.
This will continue to be my workout schedule for the next 3 weeks until my cast comes off.
Since I am home doing mostly nothing except laying in bed with my foot up unless I am taking my boys to school, or doing my workouts, I am being extra careful with what I eat, I do not want to gain back the lbs I have lost so far. So for breakfast I have my Chocolate Shakeology with a strawberry banana yogurt smoothie, 2 oz of skim milk and ice, then for lunch I have some fruit and yogurt, honestly my appetite is almost completely gone, I kind have to force myself to eat, and then for dinner I have a small portion of what ever is on the menu for the day, for snacks I have fruits-grapes, bananas, pineapple, or cantalope.
When I was working out HARD everyday I was consuming about 1900-2000 calories a day but now since Im not really working out as hard Im trying to keep my calories at around 1500 calories a day, so far I havent lost any weight but I havent gained any weight either so that makes me happy.
I cant wait for this cast to come off, I decided that when it comes off Im just going to continue on with what ever week I should be on since Im still working out now and I will see how it goes, when I complete my 1st round of P90X depending on where I am with my goals, I will either go INSANE with Insanity or I will do a 2nd round of P90X, it all depends on where I end up at when I finish P90X.
