Last week I was really getting back into lifting. I did two of Brad’s weight workouts. I even did his chest and back workout on Friday while he stayed home sick from work.
Unfortunately I’m going to have to go on a weight lifting hiatus.
Yesterday I was putting groceries away in the fridge and Brad decided to “help.” Notice the quotation marks. He was putting something away in the freezer and I stood up from organizing the fridge.
Disaster.
Geez, penalized for efficiency. When you’ve got a tiny Toronto kitchen there should be a rule about only having one person in the kitchen at one time. I hit my head on the freezer door and aside from (what I’ve diagnosed as) a mild concussion, my neck is just done for. I spent the rest of the day propped up in bed and on the couch with a lot of ice and a tylenol. Poor Brad, he felt so bad all day.
He let me pick any movie I wanted to rent. I picked American Reunion. Have you seen it? It made me feel oooooolllllllld, but it was funny. I also got out of doing chores for the rest of the day. Woooohooooo 
I’m going to have to make sure to get my 10,000 steps in everyday this week. I’m not sure when I’ll be back to normal workouts.
How well do you modify workouts when you’re injured? If you have to workout less do you modify your food too?
Aw, that just stinks! I hope you are able to recover quickly and get back to normal!
When I can’t exercise, I generally make up for it by eating a lot more.
Just for the record, that method doesn’t lead to anything good.
Feel better…
That sounds horrible! I hope you’ll feel better soon!
OH MORGAN!! I am so sorry! Snuggle up girlie and feel better! xo
Ouchie!! Hope it gets better quickly!
My husband and I watched American Reunion also! It was pretty funny and also made me feel old! Lol
i did almost the exact same thing when i was younger only i was the only one around when it happened….we had the old school fridge with the freezer door inside the fridge and it was spring loaded to close automatically, i was putting stuff away and i quickly reached down to grab something from the bag. i stood up just in time for my jaw to connect with the corner of the closing freezer door…my face ended up smashing the plastic and ripping it off of the hinges and my jaw would feel like it would randomly go out of socket for the longest time after that. on the plus side, my parents bought a newer fridge after that.
oh yeah….if anyone should feel old, its Chis Klein. what the hell happened to that guy…he looks like he aged twice as fast as the rest of the film cast.
Well . . . at least he tried to help . . . that’s gotta count for something right? However, this kind of sounds like the whole breaking a dish so you never have to wash them again. Are you sure it was an accident?
Yikes!! I usually try to be efficient when putting groceries away and have had a few close-class. Hope you feel better soon!
oh no I am so sorry that really sucks! Hope you feel better soon!
oh no! you look like you are in so much pain! i hope you get better soon!
Oh, that sounds so painful, i hope you recovery quickly!
I usually don’t try to modify my eating when I’m not working out – I’m pretty good with my hunger signals so I just go by that. I usually end up needing less, so I naturally eat less.
Im a rester when hurt…only because I learned the hard way
about trying to workout AROUND my crinks.
That sucks! Feel better soon.
I usually do modify things with an injury at least on the workout side of things. I’ve never been all that good at modifying the food part. 
HOWS THE CRINK??
