Today, I decided to turn my life around and start exercising more. I didn't even make it out the door before I tripped and fractured my ankle. FML

Today, I decided to be healthy and go for a run. I broke my ankle. FML
Today, I decided to begin jogging since my weight was getting a little out of control and I wanted to do something about it. Guess who tripped on a root and broke their ankle? Yeah. Exactly. FML
Today, after spending two hard months losing 20 pounds of my 80 pound goal, I was actually excited to exercise. After I was done exercising, I fell down the stairs and broke my ankle. FML
Today, I decided to start jogging and exercising, so I had a wonderful workout before work. Then I broke my foot at work. Goodbye exercising. FML
Today, I managed to break my ankle by running it over with the wheelchair I've used on a daily basis for the last 6 years. FML
Today, I was at the gym, feeling pretty proud of myself for working out consistently for the past month. As I was about to grab a towel, I tripped and landed face-first into a pile of gym mats. People turned to look, and all I could do was try to laugh it off through the pain of what turned out to be a sprained ankle. FML
Today, in an effort to be more active, I jumped out of bed ready for a morning jog. Or, that was the plan. Instead, I twisted my knee so badly standing up, it's now locked, and I can't move it. So much for activity. FML
Today, I bought a treadmill as part of my goal to get fit for summer. It doesn't look like it's going to get much use, seeing as how I sprained my ankle trying to get it in my doorway. FML
Today, after a month and a half of recovering from a sprained ankle, I was back in the gym training. After a grueling, sweaty session on the treadmill, I tripped walking down the stairs which sprained my other ankle. Back to round one. FML
Today, I got up early to go to the gym before work. As I was walking to my car, I slipped on a patch of what appeared to be a patch of wet moss and fell, spraining my ankle. Not only did I have to miss my workout, but I had to call in sick to work and spend the day at home, hobbling around with a swollen ankle. FML

I always suspected that exercise was a cruel scam.

....and try again, harder and better than ever! ;P Obstacles make us stronger, Op. This is just one of them. ;P

SUCCESS!!! You have already learned to watch where you step. Soon OP will be writing self help books on how to lose weight from a wheel chair. Congrats OP, you may have found your place in the universe.

What? Why are you yelling?

Or maybe it is telling them that it will be a struggle but they must preserver?

Or it's OP's body telling him/her just how bad it really doesn't want to exercise..

The universe is apparently trying to tell me the same thing. I have gotten into a great exercise routine and I lost 15 lbs. Now, suddenly, pneumonia. Yaaaaay. I feel the OP's pain... It will be weeks before I can even consider going back to my cardio routine. I can't even get to the top of the stairs before I am heaving and crumpling to my knees feeling like I just finished a marathon.

Getting out of a chair is hard work, don't underestimate it. As a matter of fact, they should make it an official sport, but I'd hate to see the gruesome injuries.

Like somebody getting a season-ending gluteus Maximus strain? Ouch.

Keep your head up and bounce back. It's never too late to obtain happiness. Maybe this is just a symbol that it won't be easy. Keep trying. (:

That's true, it's not about whether you got knocked down or not, it's about what you do when you get back up

Guess you will have to exercise in rehab

Or try horizontal running! (Pitch Perfect was hilarious, by the way)

That's ok for you to say, you're a penguin. You're supposed to be fat!!

You could always tone up your arm muscles. Free weight exercises in front of the tv would still benefit your health.(:
wlddog 14
Ha ha ha ha.... I am sure you did not mean for OP to focus on just one arm, but to be sure to give equal amounts to stress/attention to both arms. No one likes a lopsided person.

27, no one said anything about just one arm....

It was a masturbation joke. Now remember kids "sex can wait, **********"(infomercial)

Get knocked down then get back up OP

At least you got motivated! Don't worry op there are other exercises out there, you don't need to go out running :)

I hate to break it to you, but you seem a bit clumsy.
ryanpreiss 17
"Break it to you"... Nice one
Dracoboxer357 35
Op, don't let this stop or discourage you! The goal may now have more challenges, but it is no less worth it! :) Find alternatives, tone your upper body and focus on making a healthy diet selection plan for yourself, you'll make great headway still! :D Best of luck, Op! ;)
