You're not going to let your injury weaken your image, so why let it weaken your body? Time to hit the gym, gimpers.
Yes, I said the gym! You may not be able to get on the treadmill or the elliptical, but there's no excuse not to work your abs, glutes, and upper body... Seriously. Besides, how big of a boss do you look like rolling in the gym like "I got this" when you're obviously disabled. The other patrons will probably look at you disbelievingly, but then you'll just show them up by pumping some serious iron.
GTC. Gym, Tan, Crutch.

2. Stay Fly
Just because you've been injured doesn't mean you get to laze around in your PJs or sweats. I'm serious, you don't want all the inevitable pity that you'll already be getting, so why make yourself look even more pathetic? Get into some normal clothes, put your big girl panties on, and go on with your daily life! There's no reason why you shouldn't be able to fully function (unless you got some killer pain meds).
Okay, now that you're getting out of your threadbare yoga pants, it's time to dress strategically. When you're gimping, you need to do what you can to take the focus off of your healing appendage. This means that if your foot is casted, you're going to need to make it less obvious and in-your-face. If you've got on a boot, make sure it's black or some sort of understated color. If you're casted, make sure you didn't get some crazy rainbow stripe cast (unless your strategy is "I am cripple and proud, let me sing it from the rooftops).
Get ready because it's time to bust out some bell bottoms or flare pants to cover up your sad foot... same goes for flowy armed tops and peasant blouses if you've got a gimpy arm. The idea is coverage, here, people. Get creative and try to do your best to camo your injury. Let's hope you can pull off the boho look!
When in doubt, cover dat shyt up.
