Couch Potato

So I should be about five days into my official IM training program, but a solid crash on my bike almost two weeks ago (Nov. 8th) has turned me into a total lug. Prior to this accident, I had never not worked out for more than maybe 3 days since probably high school.

Even when I fractured my foot 3 years ago, I managed to lie on the floor and do Pilates. I bought new Pilates DVDs in hopes of fulfilling some desire to exercise this time around, but I was quickly frustrated that I wasn't sweating and quit. I should absolutely be lifting weights with my arms, at the very least, and working on core training...but I'm too much of an "all or nothing" person and have convinced myself that if I do not go all the way, I might as well not go at all. I was instructed to keep the wound sterile and not bend the knee. I'm not allowed to swim. It is day 12 with no workout and I'm nuts.

This is not healthy. I am working on it.
