Trying to Get Healthy

I know if night not seem like much, but about 8 weeks ago, I was in a bad car accident and I injured my back pretty badly. Right before that happened, I had tried to change my lifestyle to get healthier (trying to eat better/be more active), but since I got hurt I’ve been knocked right back down. I’ve been really depressed, I’m too scared to drive, and it took me weeks to even feel better enough to not need a back brace everywhere I’ve gone. I had to quit my job, and I’ve been so depressed/anxious that I’ve done nothing but sleep/lie around. I even started drinking soda again, which I had quit for 2 years.

Today I said enough is enough. I’m sick of lying around, I’m sick of feeling sorry for myself. So as much as it hurts, I got up and went to the gym for the first time. Ya girl might not have made it past a brisk power walk, but I lasted 30 minutes and that’s 30 more minutes than before. Here’s to looking good in a wedding dress in 431 days!
