Out of shape and injured... Advice?

Hey there.

 

I just started today (week 1 day 1) and I was super excited! I got my music going and I was supercharged! But I was not able to finish. I used to be very active. I was on my school's drum line, (the only girl, mind you) and I weighed 180, most of it muscle. But the drum was too heavy, and of course being the stubborn person that I am, I had to have to heaviest drum on the line. We were playing at an away game and there was a hole in the field, into which I stepped and broke my knee.

 

I am ashamed to say that once the cast was off and I finished my physical therap, I reallyy became quite sedentary. It is now five years and 70 more pounds later, and I am determined, but discouraged. Any advice you have helps.

 

Sincerely, stubbornly optimistic.

Beautiful encouragement Trish. Truths I am also able to apply and practice. I loved,

Hang in there Nadara! Keep us posted please, and congrats on completing day 1!  You got out there .... that is a success! :)

 

If I might offer a couple more thoughts (quotes of others) that have supported me:

 

"Progress not perfection."

"It is what we do most the time that counts, not some of the time."
