Septembersong, hugs coming for you for your mammo. Mine is Tuesday morning.
Mumayan - opening the bottle of wine is considered exercise. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Going up to bed now so maybe after work t'm I'll have energy toexercise.

I'm so jealous of all the working out going on! I've been too busy the last two days to do any working out!
Welcome back September! I think I'll pour myself a glass of wine for my exercise tonight! Great idea!

Lorrie, I'm with you. Weekdays it's really been hard to find time or motivation. Tomorrow will be doing some painting so that will count.
Not just pouring the wine but lifting it from table to mouth a few times counts as well. Matter of fact, take fewer sips and then you move it up and down more often. Don't forget to switch hands so both sides get equal time.

Oh Lorrie!! I've been a VERY BAD girl for about 2 weeks. I haven't done any kind of exercise at all, unless you include housework and regular work. I'm gonna go out on a limb and promise to at least ride my bike or walk tomorrow. If I don't get on a regular schedule, I will be flying as the "GoodYear Blimb"......I'm not kidding!!!! LOLOL
Hope all of you have a wonderful weekend!

So glad to be back on this thread, where daily exercise can be whatever you need it to be!
patoo, I'll be sending you supercharged good thoughts on Tuesday. Hugs too.
I'm resting my knee (and the rest of me, unfortunately) until I see my onc on Monday and PCP the following week. Soonest appt. I could get with a recommended orthopedist was early Jan. I am now limping along like Grandpa McCoy, for those of you with very long memories (and a bad TV habit when you were small).

3 hours assisting with painting 2 rooms today. Reaching, lifting, bending - that was my workout today.
Rest up september.

Awhhh now is the time I have to confess. I just wouldn't be able to sleep a wink unless I told
the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
My name is Coonie----and I did not----I repeat!---I DID NOT exercise one single second this whole
weekend. But wait!!!! I do have a good excuse, or reason....I was really sick yesterday with all the
head gunk going on, so I slept most of the day. And today, well, today's the Lord's day and I went
to church and rumbled with about 25 3 year olds. That what class I'm in....3-4 year olds. Cutie pie
little buttons, but they will run you ragged. So....I guess maybe that was a little exercise.
I'll try to do better this week. I PROMISE!!
Forgive me ladies??

Coonie, Of course we forgive you - this time anyway (because most of us probably are where you are and haven't exercised a lick either!).
I really do believe that you should ask them to promote you from the 3-4 year old class. What are you, at least pushing 24, right.
Okay, well I'm being punished for picking on you, coonie. I am in sooooo much pain in my butt and thighs. I thought it would get better as the day goes on but it's not and just trying to stand up from my favorite place today, my lounge chair, is extreme pain. I think I'll have to get my exercise some other way - my painting days are history! So, no "formal" exercising today.

Went to the gym on Sunday it was full of young college students.Did I ever feel old and fat. You know a year or so ago before my DX I never even thought about being old.Very sad.
0 -
Mumayan, you're not old and you're not fat. Those college kids would be lucky if they knew HALF the things you do about life, friendship, and making a difference in people's lives. So please just look the other way at the gym, and congratulate yourself for getting through the rigors of treatment and bouncing (or bobbing or dragging yourself) right back. Not easy, I know, but please don't beat yourself up. We just don't see you that way. And all these daily exercisers can't be wrong...
Hope you're feeling better.

My "daily" exercise will be to get up out of this lounger (aerobic), walk 20 steps to the kitchen (lower body), mix up my cherry juice to take my meds (upper body), walk upstairs to my bedroom (more aerobic). Wow, that's a lot and I do that 7 days a week. So, why am I not seeing results????
Getting really better with my eating though so that should help once I get the rest of my act together.

Hi girls! Whew! I just finished making rag dog and cat toys to donate to the preschool I work at for a homemade sale table. I also made about 7 jars of cookie mix and 4 jars of bean soup mix for the sale table too. My back is killing me!
Well, I did exercise yesterday. I did the treadmill and then I did my regular Monday workout.
Patoo--I know what you mean about doing work around the house and getting sore. I just went through that last week. My thighs were killing me. It was hard to sit down and get up! LOL! And good luck with your mammo tomorrow!
Hey Coonie! You are a riot!!! Those little guys will really give you a run for your money! But they are the cutest! Hey, you just had an anniversary! 2 years??!!!
Mum-I know what mean about suddenly feeling older. I never used to think that way but I do now. I wonder if it's chemopause.
How are you feeling September? Did you go to the onc today?
Shelley--I did my bicep curls Saturday night!

Patoo, good luck tomorrow. Sending you many hugs and every good thought.

Patoo~ I do a similar workout every day too!!! LOL!
I actually did my yoga tape just now and am hoping to get on the treadmill a bit later.
It is just killing me that I have really been watching what I eat and have barely lost anything. I only really need to loose 7-9 lbs but it just sticks there!!!!

Lorrie,
The mammogram was benign--I was so relieved I almost kissed the radiologist. I was so nervous beforehand I marked on the form that I'd had both a lumpectomy AND a mastectomy. The tech was confused when I asked her which breast she wanted to do first.
I had a work deadline today, but it's back to the gym tomorrow. Hoping the knee stays quiet.

So, I haven't posted since Friday. So here is what I've done:
Saturday - spent day climbing and hiking (outdoors)
Sunday - yoga class in the am, climbing at gym in the afternoon
Monday - nothing
today, I plan to walk at lunch and will climb at gym tonight

Septembersong Congrats and enjoy your life.I had a similar path result last month and intend on moving forward trying not to look back.

Had mammo this morning. They did the usual 4 shots (didn't hurt a bit!) and then 2 more of the rt breast where they did the lumpectomy. Waited and they wanted more so they did 2 more of each breast. Mammo doc called me in and said she saw a clip in each breast, consistent with core biopsy; but she didn't show core biopsies in her reports. I only had core biopsy on right breast. MRI of left breast showed nothing so no biopsy was done. Left there a little confused (she looked confused as well) and didn't remember to ask when my med onc would receive the report. Why would she say she saw a clip - doesn't make sense.
So will call med onc t'm and see if they got the report and go from there. < sigh >

patoo, that sounds like good news! No talk of calcifications, spots, etc. Did you have the mammogram done at the same facility as the previous time? There was a lot of back and forth at my last mammo because the slides from my earlier mammogram weren't on file at Dana-Farber, and they needed them for comparison.
Hope you hear from your dr. soon and that you get the all-clear.

I know the feeling of dread for the mammos. I had my first post BC in September and nearly feel apart waiting for it. I would not leave the facility until I knew 'the truth' .... no waiting around for a letter or a call. Nope, I HAD to know. It was all fine. There was a bit of confusion because a beign calicafication had moved into the 'hole' where the bad lump had been, so they were taking more pictures. But, two doctors checked and it was just nature filling a void. Not fun!
Exercise-wise even though I haven't been posting, I've been doing! I'm managing 10K 5 days a week. That does include my aerobic tapes workouts (4 times a week). The other days I am making my 6K basic goal, so I'm happy about that.
Halloween candy is gone and (woo hoo) so are the extra 2 or 3 halloween pounds. Just in time for Thanksgiving.
Tomorrow my husband is going in for 4 hours of surgery to repair torn tendons in his shoulder. I suspect my whole 10K will be pacing around worried about him during the operation.
Take care all. Love the motivation you are providing to me and to each other. Stay well and happy!

Post treatment mammo's seem to be the worst on our emotions, aren't they? I had a very traumatic first time post-tx mammo. I had pics taken, waited and waited, they wanted more, then they wanted an ultrasound, then more waiting only to be told that they "think" everything is okay. This is based on calcifications found in the "good" breast. WTF???? Anyhow, I just went for my second one in Oct and it was a probably benign--see you in 6 months. I approached my surgeon about biopsy and removal of the calcs. I just wanted to eliminate the stress. I was brushed off and told that I was not in the category which indicates biopsy. Kind of surprised me considering my history. So, I was sent along to return in 6 months. Oh well. I guess finding out that I wasn't in the high risk category was a good thing?!
Okay...for exercise...I did my usual Monday workout (Firm tape) and then did nothing on Tuesday and Wednesday. Today I did another tape which kicked my butt but I think my "I don't feel like doing this" attitude went along with it!
I'm supposed to walk with a friend today and then have lunch with her. I think she thinks I am feeble and weak from my treatment. LOL. She'll probably have trouble keeping up with me! Hee, hee!
I am very happy that we are all having good checkups. Good news!
