Good morning, walked 3.5 miles yesterday incl noon power walk. Julie, the court found the open meetings law was violated and slapped a TRO against the collective bargaining bill so it hasn't taken effect. The politicians don't want a 're-do' because they don't have the votes to pass it again. Paperwork has now been filed to recall three state senators. I think they'll insert the language into the big budget bill which must pass or gov't shuts down. Just like DC - yuck. RE: storms, one went north of us and one went south so we were OK, glad no one in your family was hurt in Merrill.
Kim, my mom is a 30-year survivor so maybe not a cure but a good long life, she's 80 now.
Ruth, glad to hear surgery is scheduled, will be praying for you (& your doc) on the 25th.
Carol, thinking of you and sending healing vibes with every step I take, how's your ankle?
Welcome Shannon, and {{hugs}} to all

Had a great yoga class last night. Hopefully I can get in some walking this evening. This is the day I have to go to the inlaws and pay bills and set up meds. Demends on how much I have to do as whether I will have time to walk after that.
Ruth so glad you are scheduled for surgery. It is definalty better to do it sooner than later.

I tend to break out a good bottle of champagne on my cancerversary to celebrate kicking cancer butt for one more year. That helps me turn any anxiety or blues into a celebration.
Ruth - so glad you have a surgery date. Good for you for getting your GP to push things ahead.
Cheryl - in the IT business we deal with that "it's not our equipment/software - it's the other company's stuff" all the time - our software vendor always blames our network and server setup, and the network and server teams always say it's the software. Meanwhile, they're not the ones taking angry calls from customers who demand to speak to someone in IT to know why they can't register for yoga class online.
My last Tuesday yoga class is tonight - it doesn't start up again for a few weeks, so I'll have to do tapes or something. My lunchtime Wednesday yoga is also on a break, so no yoga classes for a few weeks for me.
15 minutes Lebed and 30 minutes weight/resistance this morning.
It's pouring rain here today - it was 90 degrees yesterday! Ah, Washington in the spring time . . .

Kim, I am with you 100%, first the diagnositc normal, then bs says MRI, wow, what a jolt.
I too was down in the dumps, I guess for us gals it is a way of life for us. My thoughts are with you, just got letter from breast center tests were normal and results were forwarded to Dr. ...., well now I am waiting for the pre-cert for MRI. I knew from a phone call last week that tests were normal and about the MRI. No one outside of our world understands. You have to be a member of the club.
Ruth, glad you have a surgery date. Mary, good idea breaking out champagne each year.
Cheryl, I remember my real job, I used to love to fix the copy machine. Knew it better than the real repair guy.
Welcome Shannon.
Went to zumba last night. H U R T I N G. (3 days in a row).
Will say out of gym until Sat morning. Need a rest, but will meet with trainer to get back on a routine.
Hugs to all,

hi ladies, thought i would join in. been watching this thread for a while - very inspiring.
i just had my preventive MX 2 weeks ago, so i'm just back to walking this week. i usually do yoga 4-5x weekly, but that's banned for 6 weeks ("ugh" doesn't even cover it).
i walked for 45 minutes, 20 uphill.
good to "meet" all of you!

welcome janyce, this is a great place to keep motivated. Hope your healing goes well so you can get back to yoga. I love my yoga classes and hate when I have to miss them.

Got the real bike out tonight and did awesome....all the stationary bike training had paid off...didn't tire me at all...also did my body balance class and off to aqua fit on a roll!

I did absolutely nothing today. My hormones are crazy since I got a Lupron shot and I am on Tamoxifen. I am so tired! Tomorrow is a new day and I will be productive.

Ugh slinky...I tried Lupron...it was awful for me couldn't stop crying ...hope things even out

Walked 30 minutes; did 30 minutes Pilates & went to a Middle School/High School Jazz Band concert. My favorite school concert of the year! DS played trombone in the Jazz Band when he was in school, so it makes me rather sentimental!
Hi Janyce, nice to see you here!

Welcome to the group Janyce, the 6 weeks will fly by and you'll be back to your yoga in the mean time enjoy the walking. (((slinky))) feel better. Sandee hope you get some answers tomorrow about the fatigue. Ruth you will be careful for the next couple of weeks won't you, don't overdo
Did Body Step class tonight and I sure hope my body gets used to the spin class on monday night soon as my legs felt like I had bags of sand attached to them.

Good morning everyone and welcome Janyce. You're right, this is a terrific bunch of women.
Patoo, thinking of you and hoping you are doing well this week.
Julie, Sunday's storms produced 10 confirmed tornados, which is tied for a record in April.
Walked 4.1 miles (7,040 steps) yesterday incl a noon power walk and an afternoon break too, it was so nice I couldn't stay inside. Yesterday was the 'State of the Tribes' address at the Capitol. I did not attend the speech in-person but watched on Wisconsin Eye.
Did go to the Drum and Honor Song ceremony ahead of the speech and it was very powerful. The 11 Nations here in WI each had their Tribal flag, plus there was an American flag, and a row of fringed lances. There was a huge drum being played by six men. They'd play and sing, then punctuate the chorus with BOOM BOOM BOOM. At first we were all on the east Capitol steps, then a procession circled the Capitol, then they went in (through the security screening and metal detectors) and into the Assembly Chambers.
Well doggone it, it's already 5:30 so I need to get ready for work. Yoga class today - YAY. Namaste and {{hugs}} to all.

Yes, I am being careful. Walking slowly & doing 'beginners' moves on toning & even those without 'gusto'. The Drum Ceremony sounds very neat!

Yoga class last night, and the rain stopped long enough so I could walk the 2 mile round trip to the rec center. 15 minutes Lebeds and 30 minute elliptical this morning. Goin' to the Nats game tonight!!!
0 -
Badger, wish I was there for the BOOM BOOM BOOM music.
Welcome Janyce.
DH not feeling good with a bad cold. Big baby. Cheryl, go slow with spinning at first.
Slinky, yes, there is always tomorrow.
Damp ugly weather back.
Love to all

Thanks all for the thoughts. I'm okay, just been extremely busy and not on the computer too much. Taking a few minutes here at work to look on. I see you are all still at it, some as normal and the rest of you as you are physically able. That's all that is needed - movement of any sort helps. I'm not giving up. I can absolutely say, however, that easing too much on the exercise and eating certainly has an effect on the waistline so due diligence is necessary - I'm proof. Still have a little over a month before the Bahamas so hopefully will get it back together before long.
Now if the weather would just cooperate!

I forced myself out of bed today and went on with my daily routine. I will be doing treadmill and p90x after my fill today. I found out on Monday that my baby sister has lymphoma and I suppose I am a little depressed over my cancer and her cancer in less than four months. My mom and dad are beside themself with guilt, grief and fear of the unknown. My sister is only 30 years old and was to start a new job....now her life is on hold until she completes chemo. Cancer sucks!

slinky so sorry about your sister and you are right Cancer sucks! I can only imagine what is going through your parents minds. I will keep your family in prayer

Hi, I'm a newbie here.
I'm having a hard time getting back into my excercise routine after my BMX and Hysterectomy. (BMX was in Late Sept. 2010. Hysterectomy Dec. 28, 2010. Liproscopic. Final recontruction done Jan. 12, 2011. I didn't have to do chemo. I also take Anastrozole.) I used to walk on breaks & lunch at work. And do the eliptical machine at night. But, I find I'm so tired all the time. Especially after work. I can't seem to get my routine back in place. With everything they took off and took out, I've still put on wieght. That surprised me. Anyway, reading some of the posts here has motivated me to not give up, keep working at until I find something that will work for me again. Where has my motivation gone?
BTW, I have implants in, which I am trying to have taken out sometime soon. So uncomfortable, I hate them. How is it to exercise with a prosthetic bra? Or do you just take it off while exercising?
Thank you for any input.
Faith

Hello, Everyone:
slinky: So sorry about your sister; I can bet your parents are beside themselves. Sending prayers and thoughts of strength to all of you.
Ruth: Glad you are taking it easy.
Janyce: Welcome, and we share our issues with each other, as well as our exercise - very theraputic.
Sandee: How are you feeling today? Any answers on the fatigue?
Patoo: Glad to see you; I bet you can't wait to go on vacation.
Ronna: Hope you don't get DH's cold, and I hope the weather dries up.
Mary: I work with software; I bet we'd have a lot to talk about.
hbCheryl: Glad you caught my wave; we really did have great weather last weekend. Sounds like the temperatures will be close to 80 this weekend.
Badger: Yep, we really got pounded with tornados. Still can't believe how CLOSE it came to my Dad's place! within 5 miles!!! Glad at least storms went north and south of you.
Sherry: Thinking of you, your family and your Dad.
{{{HUGS}}} to everyone else.
Did 4.6 mile run today; will resistance train tonight. You can pet kitties while doing sit-ups
No resistance training tomorrow night; will be taking a computer programming class through UCLA Extension.

Faith: Welcome. I'm so sorry your energy levels are low. You were diagnosed about the same time I was (late September 2010) and had your implants placed in January, same as I did, although I'm not on any drugs, chemo or radiation.
Does the Anastrozole drain energy? Also, you've been through a lot, with the hysterectomy and all. Since you were an avid exerciser, I can't imagine that you'll get your motivation back and start exercising again.
Also, FYI, I wear bra tops when exercising, these tops are not prosthetic.
Sending thoughts of strength.

Dear all,
Walked to the cardio rehab clinic tis morning an dthen to work and ran around a bit there too...over 10,000+steps today despite the fatigue...found out tha my blood pressure is 100/70...hello!!?!?!?? seriously? that is what you get when you give someone with low to normal BP a Bp medication..told the nurse if I do not start to feel better by early next week, I was goin in to my gp to change it. My cardiologist appointment is not until May 31st....NOT spending another 6 weeks feeling like this...can't return to the gym until I am assessed and have the stress test on the 17th of May either so have put personal trainer on hold..rying to decide if I should put the gym on hold too or if I can go in to yoga classes....no idea unil they assess me.....frustrated!..but I have lost 3 pounds...not sure if it is the walking or the lack of tamoxifen....but under 150 now!! on the way back to my 'normal'!
Faith- welcome to the group!! We help keep each other on task and supported so you have come to a good place:)
Julie- I pm'd your pm:)
Slinky- hard to support each other when you are both feeling the results of cancer hmm?...might help t know she understands, in a very odd way but I am sure you wish it weren't so.

welcome Faith, I didn't have recon and don't wear foobs (fake boobs) so not real helpful but my two cents is it's great to not wear a bra, esp. while exercising.
Julie, enjoy the class, you are exercising your brain, that counts!
slinky, sorry about your baby sis. Can I tell you a hopeful story? When I first started my job 4 years ago, there was a woman who wore a scarf all the time. She had lymphoma, did chemo and lost her hair. (We bonded when I was dx with BC and we discovered we have the same onc.) Today she's healthy and has glossy brown hair down past her shoulders. Sending comforting thoughts to you & you family.
geez, Sandee, no wonder you are low on pep! Walking is good, and free to boot. It's probably no coincidence about stopping tamox and losing weight. I've never had a pot belly until now.
Janyce, I agree, it would be tough to miss 6 weeks of yoga but it's best to not overdo after MX. Remember to breathe, keep your mouth soft (envision the roof of your mouth as warm honey softening on a plate), and (my thing to watch) don't hunch your shoulders!
Left my pedometer clipped to my purse this morning so IDK steps but walked at least 3.4 miles today to reach 795 miles. {{hugs}} to all esp. those on the injured reserve list.
