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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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 start jogging and exercising, so I had a wonderful workout before work. Then I broke my foot at work. Goodbye exercising. 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, I went to a yoga class, thinking it would be good for my stiff calf from running. I pulled my back out doing the downward dog. Now can't get out of bed. FML
Today, I decided to be healthy and go for a run. I broke my ankle. FML
Today, as I was trying to get out of bed, my foot began sliding across the floor. I instinctively tried to balance myself, only for the new angle to cause my right hip to painfully and loudly dislocate, making me fall face-forward into my dresser. Back stuck in bed after three days of freedom. FML
Today, I realized thanks to two injuries I have that I can't do two routines my doctor wants me to do. I strained something in my right hip so squatting causes me pain. Jogging is also out of the question because my right foot healed wrong when I sprained it, and requires pricey foot surgery to fix. FML
Today, I went to sit on a desk chair, which promptly rolled out from under me. This made me fall on my own foot, literally shattering two bones. I just bought a 9-month gym membership and can't use it because I wanted to sit down. 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 woke up after being sick from the flu and tried to get out of bed. I forgot I was in a bunk bed and broke my ankle in the fall down. FML

Don't be discouraged OP. I've lost over 80 lbs and that has come with a few injuries. It's great that you're getting started, so don't let this unmotivate you. If it's too bad, a doctor visit might be needed. Good luck.

I was once an adventurer, but I'm unable to do as much, since the day a projectile hit my knee.

This reminds me of the spongebob episode where he gets out of bed looking for his name tag and falls down the stairs to feed Gary "Blegh"

This is what happens when your body isn't active often enough. Let your knee recover then try again, just don't give up because of this hiccup.

Just take the day (or days) to recover and catch up on your favorite shows! Make the best of a bad situation.

Wow, good on you #8. 80lbs is nothing to sneeze at. And I agree, don't get discouraged OP. While your leg is healing, you can avoid going stir crazy with upper body only exercises. Stretches, arm curls, etc will satisfy that need to be active. And you can do them while binging Netflix :-)

Try not to jump out of bed like a maniac next time. Also take up swimming until your knee can handle jogging again.

Can't tell if #4 is an idiot or if they're just trolling. Most likely both.
