Was in a car accident...out of my routine and healing for 4 months added 25 pounds.
Just got back on my bike and short jogging.
Feel free to add for mutual motivation.

    I was hit by a semi and fractured my L2...lower back mucles severly injured. Stuck in the sadness swamp and a back brace for 2ish months. Now I can tie my own shoes again so I can lose the weight I gained and get out of the funk.
    Blessed & happy to be alive !!

    From my experience, your lumbar spine is very important lol. Be careful out there. Any permanent damage or did you fully heal?

    The fracture is healed...still feel like I need to be in tune with how much I can work the lower back but the weight gain may be a factor.
    Today went well...only slightly sore during my 6 mile bike ride.

    I was in a similar boat. Motorcycle accident had me off my feet for two months and completely derailed my once very active lifestyle. Are you in physical therapy right now? Request sent, btw :)

    I have an fairly in tune with my body and the worst damage was the lower back pull. Really had me fighting with self pity.
    I started with hot yoga sessions ( which was new and AWESOME physically and emotionally ) to begin working the weakened lower back and then started back on some short runs and bike rides...building up.
    How bad was your damage..how are you now?
