Ugh it's always something :(

I mean this in the most positive way. I know that online postings have the lack of emotions.

You were kicked but your horse wasn't. What if your horse fell....on you. Much worse. Yes, it is a setback, but it could be so much worse.

I think you have a wonderful husband. He is helping you to focus on the positive. Lucky you.

I know it's hard to try to get back on track without exercise, but you can do it. I know you can. When things get you down force yourself to see the positive. I think your husband would love to support you and help. The hardest part is for you to believe it. That is the paradigm shift. It might not be easy, but aren't you worth it?!?!

Feel free to add me as a friend. I know you can do this. Good luck!

We all have those days. You are not alone. I feel that exact same way. It seems like it is always something. My iron is low and my anemia gets really bad again. I get vertigo, nausea, cold, weak, tired. I have heart problems and scar tissue from three C-sections. My car broke and my husband works a full time job and goes to school. I currently have a wisdom tooth that is growing down into the nerves in my jaw. I have no insurance at the time, because I am a stay at home mom and my husband started a new yet better job and we have to wait 90 days to get insurance. The pain meds I was prescribed I am allergic to and I itch from head to toe. Really from my scalp all the way to the bottom of my feet. I just found out from the oral surgeon that to perform what I need done may run me around $3000. Now if I had done this say a couple months ago that would be fine, but I spent my money and now I can wait a few months until we get insurance or wait and save up money. Oh and Christmas is coming up with 3 kids so I don't think I will be getting surgery anytime soon. I know this sounds like a rant, but with all this said. The pain and stress from all of it, this never ending series of bad events I try not to let it get in the way and neither should you. Do not give up. The other day after I took pain meds I could not sit at home another day without working out. I had already missed a day and eased off of the one, but my new goal was to ride for 20 miles. So with my mind "saying lets do this and my body and muscles saying uh what are you doing your crazy lets lay down for a while". I filled up my water bottle, put the bike in the truck and headed to the trail. I started off slow and easy, cuz I still had pain killers in my system, but I completed my goal ending in 21 miles instead of 20. Fight back, your biggest enemy is yourself. Now I can go on and on about all the horrible things that I have been through in my life and trust me its a long list of abuse and pain, but I do not let them define who I am or what I do. Other than using it to make myself a better, stronger person. I sent you a friends request and hopefully I didn't irk you with what I wrote, but instead I hope it kicked you in the *kitten* like you said and can motivate you to keep going.

as a fellow runner AND horse owner I can sympathize with what is happening... hang in there it is JUST a short time period of injury.. you WILL get better and you WILL start training...take the chance to focus on other types of exercise to help with calorie burn but does not include impact... hang in there we will all be rooting for you!!

"If you tripped and fell on your way to work, would you turn around, go home and never return? OF COURSE NOT!!
By that logic, one bad day shouldn't ruin your fitness goals either! Keep going!"
That quote was my inspiration to never give up on myself even when it felt I was struggling to keep my head above water!
I have a bad leg so I focus more on swimming, ab crunches, squats etc. I've accepted that I will never run or play squash again.
Don't give up, just be the best you can be!
