Hi,
I have been using this site off and on for a while. Last January I had a snowtubing accident , then ankle surgery and here I am 6 months later still in a knee high orthopedic boot preventing me from doing walking, cycling, etc. I can swim, but I don't have access to water on a regular basis. So I gained 10 lbs while I was sitting on my couch for 12 weeks. I was hoping that getting back to work would help because of the increase in movement. Then, I decided to quit smoking (which I am on week 4 of and doing well) but that also put on a few pounds. So I am actually more than when I started. Yikes! Anyone else have the same situation? and what got you motivated?
thanks.
