So I started going to the gym again and swimming regularly as well as sneaking in a few serve practice sessions against the wall. I am so glad my calf isn't aching any more after a month of slow steady physiotherapy. The weight training and swimming must have helped, too, though I don't seem to have lost more than two pounds in spite of five days a week of working out and swimming. Still, I can't complain - my jeans are slightly loose and I didn't think I'd actually be able to lose any weight at all without the running around provided by my usual tennis.
The other thing I also tried to learn to deal with was my blood sugar problem by swimming and doing the light weights with high repetitions three hours after my last meal. The way I see it, my problem with blood sugar isn't s much that it drops but that I become mentally incapable of focusing when it does. So I tried my best to work until my sugar dropped and then to do my best to learn to stay mentally focused. I don't know how well it's worked and I can't find out until I start playing tennis again after the 15th of July, but I truly hope there'll be something to show for all that!
