What am I supposed to do for a workout if I’m injured?

[Anonymous]

I injured my top left part of my back yesterday and I didn’t do my workout yesterday because of it.
I can’t fall behind on my workout because then I’ll have to start over and I don’t want to gain anymore weight.
One of my cousins said, “You don’t need to be working out anyways. You look so good and you carry the weight so well since you’re tall. Count this as a blessing. Stop trying to lose weight. Men don’t like thin women and you should have some fat in you.”

I looked at her like, “Don’t tell me what to do! Im grown. Besides I was working on weight lifting anyways. Im working on fat loss. I do need to lose because I’m 216lbs. Even though I don’t look like it, plus I'm 6’0” tall.
I HATE when injuries happen because I have to sit and miss out on workouts.

I once injured my legs so bad after high school that I had to quit sports on my senior year in March. It sucked. I ended up gaining so much weight.

It will get worst if you don’t completely heal. Just accept it as a pothole on the road of life. It’s only temporary. Feel blessed about that!

Take my advice as a way of looking at this in a different perspective. Maybe the universe wanted to teach you something to prepare you to be strong mentally.

Sometimes people have to start all over again.. and this situation is quite small

Just take some rest and let yourself recover from the injury.

Great! I’m doing a 30 day challenge and I’ll have to push back days 29 and 30 further! My challenge is ruined! Now I have to sit around.

If you don't stop and let it heal you won't be able to work out at all.
Take the time you need now and let it heal properly so you can resume workouts.
In the meantime, control your diet.

Rest and recover. If you injure it more it will just make it longer until you can get a good workout in.

Today was supposed to be my last day of the challenge and not I have to push the dates back! I’m so angry!
I don’t want to gain anymore weight.

How injured is it?

[Asker]

Well not really bad but it does hurt when I bend my head or bend down. It must of been when I was sleeping or working ut
