Cycling as recovery from very serious accident

[glawrence2000]

That's a great story. I watched someone recover from serious injury last year through cycling, going from a point where it was painful even to take off a shirt, even as far as hands being locked up, gradually becoming more mobile.

It's a reminder not to take your health for granted.

absolutely. and also a reminder to not sweat the small stuff, stop and look at the sky, and take time to see what's going on around you and in your relationships with everyone and everything.

I was d e a d guys, can't stress enough how fragile life is.

Well done Glawrence but don't be pushing to hard to improve all the time but do it in blocks of a month or two. Keep us updated with your progress.

Bit on the slack side last few weeks because I've been on holidays but getting back into it again.

I skipped breakfast for decades - never felt hungry. Wasn't interested in it.
Have heard so many times Breakfast of a King, Lunch of a squire and dinner of a pauper.
Max calories at the start of the day and don't pack yourself before bed.
...

Very true, but I find the only way to do 18:6'ish is to hang off eating until lunch-time. But - I need to get my "stuff" together and make lunch the big meal. Research shows that having the "window of eating" earlier results in better blood markers and easier weight control, but I just find I wake up at 2am-ish and want to kill something.

This is a great story! I'm glad you've decided to do cycling to recover from the past accident.
