Today, I decided that it would be good exercise to shovel the ice on the backyard patio. Now I can't stand up. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Today, I tried to walk on the sidewalk. Actually, it was so slippery that I had to shimmy across it. Then I shimmied too quickly and fell down. Now everything hurts. Maybe next time I should bring a sled. FML

Today, I'm at my grandparents' house to help clear snow. I was making a path to the driveway by pushing the snow out of the way. I saw a big pile and went to kick it really hard. Alas, it was a step. FML

Today, I broke, shoveled, and salted the ice covering my entire driveway. The size is roughly 8 cars' worth, and took me two hours of back-breaking effot to clear. I completely forgot that it was supposed to rain later today. FML

Today, I came home from a vacation. It had snowed, so I decided to shovel the front walk. While shoveling, I found a dead skunk frozen solid on the sidewalk. I tried to pick it up with my shovel, but it stuck. It won't move 'til the ice melts. FML

Don't just stand there!
Today, I slipped on my icy front porch, fell back, and hit my head on the step. I tried to get up, but lost my balance and fell halfway into the bush next to the steps. I then looked up to see my very hot, British, ex-Special Forces next door neighbor laughing so hard he dropped his snow shovel. FML

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

No more!
Today, I went to the gym for the first time in months. On my way home, my legs gave out halfway up the stairs to my apartment, and I had to awkwardly sit there until I could crawl the rest of the way up. FML

Sorry not sorry
Today, I attached fifteen-pound weights to each foot so I could burn some extra calories while shoveling snow. My dad asked me to move one of the cars in the driveway. When I put my foot on the gas pedal, I couldn't take it off. I ended up hitting my sister and knocking her into a snow bank. FML

Today, as I always do when we get a lot of snow, I shovelled the snow off my elderly neighbor’s driveway. I slipped and fell into a snowbank, breaking my collarbone, and she had to call 911 to help me out because I couldn't snow angel my way up. FML

Today, I decided to start exercising. I almost passed out five minutes into the warm up, and couldn't even stand in the shower afterwards. I'm only 21. FML

Why did you bring your laptop with you to shovel ice outside? Sigh...

Laptop?

Unless she has her desktop PC outside, then yes, I would assume she would have brought it outside. Since she can't "stand up", it would be impossible for her to walk in to her computer inside and type this FML. I know I sound like a picky asshole, but with the amount of fake, referenced, ripped FML's these days, noone can be trusted, lol.

have you considered that someone might have helped the OP inside? what do you think people do when they fall over on the ice? lay there till they feel better?

no school here for more than a week! but I shoveled too, an Jesus, it really sucks.

Um, iPhone.
xKoga 0
Yes I've considered it, since it's the only proper way she could have gotten inside. Still doesn't explain how she can't stand up, but is still able to go type up this FML. The only excuse is an iPhone, however this FML wasn't uploaded through a mobile device, or the default France location.

I think ops back is just really sore and it could be the day after. also if that's what it is atleast op was right and it was a good exercise

Try some regular exercise. YDI.

No pain, no gain! Now that you are flat on your back, make yourself useful to some the men in the neighborhood in exchange for shoveling your sidewalks and driveway.

And so begins the neighborhood walk for cancer. That is, if the OP is a Cancer. And the men walk to her instead of driving/skiing.

For better exercise, work out those thumbs and write FMLs.

only a woman would see shoveling ice as exercise

instead of choosing to see it as 'aw, ****. ice. now i have to go work!'. right?

Or a gay man... I think. Maybe shoveling ice is her idea of foreplay :)
