Heres the thing, Im on 2 weeks of bedrest after surgery and im already going crazy. The need to get up and go exercise or walk or work or do anything even remotely productive has been in me since i started losing this weight. I cant just sit here. I just cant i get anxious and feel the need to go go go and be a productive sexy member of society.

Anyone have any idea of a way i can still feel productive and on track during this?

Im eating at my defecit, Im on the forums here, I figure later i may take a long hot bath maybe do a facial but thats 1 day. I have 13 more. Anyone have any idea how to mentally keep myself busy and productive feeling when i physically cant be?

    I thought of something to do for a few hours, When i started MFP i made a few google sheets to do with weight loss math....macros/calories/expected losses/ time frames/ calories burned doing what etc. I havent updated alot of them in a while beside my monthly projection for weight loss (im ahead of it by a month and a half ;D ) I love google sheets this will be fun ill save doing it for a week or so so i can feel like im being productive in my weight loss efforts when im down about all this stuff :pta7if0e9zpb0.png
