Three months off work does many bad things.
Because of a knee injury, I had issues walking/standing/etc, and had to take the time off work to recover.

A week after I returned to work, I was involved in a car accident, and have now suffered spinal damage, also. Apparently I will recover given an unspecified amount of time, but now I have to take it easy on my back.

Over the last three months, I’ve re-gained three quarters of the weight that I lost in 2009, and I wanted to do something about it. I’ve now bought myself a recumbent exercise bike, so that I can sit comfortable in a seat with a decent backrest, and start work on rehabilitating my left knee.

The exercise should also help with losing some of the weight that I put on while I was inactive for three months.

Tonight was the first time I used the bike. Unfortunately the seller forgot to include the power cord, so the bike is not able to provide much in the way of resistance.
I spent six minutes on it, and peddled at a steady rate, nothing too fast, and by the end of it, the backrest (and my back) was completely covered in sweat, and my legs ached.

Damn I’m unfit. The result is almost embarrassing to talk about, but I can only go up from here, right?

Am I serious about rehabilitating my knee? Yes.
Am I serious about weight loss? Who knows.
Could I use your support and encouragement? Absolutely.
