I was in a car accident

Last Tuesday the 14th of December I was driving home from work when I was struck from behind by another vehicle. My car was stopped on the interstate due to some unknown traffic congestion and the driver behind me failed to stop and slammed into me.


















I was wearing my seatbelt and am truly lucky to have come away with out more extensive injuries. I have a whiplash and some back issues as well a shoulder problem. I was down for 3 days at home recovering after the accident and I returned to work on Monday.

I have as you might expect been unable to continue my regular workouts or routine. I have been doing some walking on Sat and Sun. but beyond that no real exercise. I have been watching my diet very closely to avoid putting on weight while Im down. I thought I was gaining quite abit of weight but luckily when I weighed this morning I was pleasantly surprised.

I weighted in just .2 lbs over my lowest weight. I was very relieved to see that I was still maintaining after a week. In fact I think I might have actually lost a little if the painkillers hadn't caused me to retain so much.

I'm going to a Chiro this afternoon we will see what he says about picking up some light cardio in the coming weeks.

Wish me luck
