Holy smokes I am bored.
We are exactly 2 weeks out from my accident and I am still on house arrest. Today is my first day home alone and it's been wonderful to have some solo time, but my gosh I am bored.
I started working out yesterday (things I can do in a chair - basically weights with my arms) and I am adding reps each day. I'm looking forward to adding more and seeing how many I can get up to before I am allowed to actually move around more. I have also decided that walking on crutches is my cardio.. although false, it gives me some sort of peace.
I've found myself Googling my injury to get input on peoples' recovery. It's a very strange thing- when I am hurting it's like I think there are so many more things jacked in my leg (which could be the case- I see my doc tomorrow) and when I'm not hurting I feel like I can just get up and walk.. which of course I CAN'T do. It's an emotional thing to go back and forth during the day.
I am so incredibly grateful that this is my only injury and that in body and mind I am a strong person. I have always said 'I train for life' and this couldn't be a better example of that saying. In my mind it is because of my strong bones that I wasn't hurt more.
Signing off, ciao!

Is this thing on?
I don't know how many internet journals I've had, but I'd say I've had more than my fare share. I find this community to be fantastic. That being said, here we go..
2 weeks ago I was in a cycling accident. I was t-boned by a huge truck leaving me on what I consider house arrest for 6 weeks and then with a walker/rehab for another 4-5. I am so incredibly grateful that this is the only injury, but my god I am going insane. This is where this little bliggity-blog comes in. I figure I can write when I am feeling out-of-body and it can work on getting back to my healthy living/fitness self.
So, who I am? I am a 29 yr old vegan woman married to my love of 12 years living in BK with my 11 yr old baby (dog) girl, Salsa. I suppose I could be considered a jock, however if you said that to me in High School I probably would have lost my shit.
I run, bike, practice yoga, obsessed with CrossFit and overall very active person. So, as you can imagine being stuck indoors without any physical activity has really impacted me and thrown me out of my routine over the past 10 years.
I suppose the first words are the hardest so I'm happy to have this started. Just having this little outlet will do strides for my mental health.
Let's do this!
