I lost 13 pounds this month.

How?  2 steps:
1. No alcohol
2. Hurt my knee

Hurt my knee?! GOOD. 
Was severely limited in what type of exercise I could perform.  (Couldn’t even really walk enough to count).  GOOD. 
So had to be very intentional about what I did.  Woke up early every day and did 40 min of rowing + elliptical.  Turns out - great exercise.  

Every cloud has a silver lining.
