4 weeks now and feeling better

I have counted the days waiting for 4 weeks to pass. If I have grown any new bone it should have started by now. The four week mark was my mark to start working out again. I didn’t want to go all the way to the gym and than find out I couldn’t do much there so I decided to start on my treadmill.  I slipped on a sling to keep my arm completely immobilized. I started out walking and eventually had to add some incline. I can’t run yet so I set the incline as high as my treadmill would go. I slowly increased the pace and set a goal to walk 40 minutes. It felt great to be exercising again. I actually was breaking a sweat! I made my 40 minute goal and got off to lift some weights. It’s hard to lift weights with only one arm but I managed to find a few exercises that didn’t make my shoulder uncomfortable. I felt really good about my first workout and now very excited to try the gym this week and spin a little on a stationary bike.
