It's 7am and the sun is up and driving to work is somewhat pleasant when I don't have to drag myself out of the apartment in the dark. But then it's 5:30pm and the daylight is gone and I am tired, with no motivation to exercise. I have to tell myself over and over that …

Sitting for Tofu
I was all prepared to take my first spin class since the accident on Sunday morning, but somehow I found myself stuck to the couch around the start time and had to drag myself to the gym to do my own workout. I did bike, just not with the intensity that I would have liked. …
A Meal of Oats
After an emotional Tuesday, Wednesday was much better. I went to PT and worked out with my trainer. It's not an easy workout even though many of the movements are quite simple and small.

Thankful

I’m sorry feet
I would like to start this post off with an apology to my left foot and my right foot. I am so sorry that you two worked from 6 am until 6 pm and even took me to dinner. I am sorry we pedaled a bike, ran lots of errands, moved lots of boxes and …
