    Everyone: Enjoy your weekend! I will be making home made chicken pot pies today. Some for the freezer and some to give away. I buy these little individual size pans so I can't eat too much at once. I will be jumping on the elliptical and dancing along with a dance DVD today.

    Elizabeth, I know some people who swear by acupuncture. You might want to check out this thread as it might have some tips you would find helpful:

    Survivors who had chemo etc and are into Complementary medicine

    We did have a storm during the night, so I picked up a bunch of branches in the yard & then did a 50 minute toning DVD. We are having a little break in the heat, which I will try to send south and east!!!!! Stay cool!

    Thanks for the warm welcome, I'm looking forward to posting here.

    Did Kenpo X today to finish my 5th week of p90x. Going to make some modifications to the program as I don't want to risk lymphedema after my bmx.

    Elizabeth I love yoga, it is great stretching and works the muscles.  Did gardening today.  Last weekend built a new raised garden bed and today went and got dirt and started filling it in.  We had to empty the truck bed because we are going to dinner tonight with friends otherwise we could have wanted till this evening when it cools off.  But no we were out there in 100+ degrees.  Way too Hot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I had a great sweat workout!!!

    Hello to all. Welcome to the all the new posters.

    Ruth, I think you sent a little bit of your cooler weather here. This evening it was only 82 degrees so dh and I medium fast walked (no jogging) our neighborhood route. It was still hot BUT nothing like 99 degrees!

    hi Tarts, it was raining when I first got up, then I had errands so didn't get a morning walk.  Then it got too hot and steamy.  Been doing paperwork most of the rest of the day and am missing the exercise.  I'll see how it is outside once the sun goes down.  It's still 87 degrees at 8 pm.  If not, maybe a rare day off... tomorrow morning for sure!

    Quick fly-by did Combat class this morning and then this afternoon took my visitors for a 2 mile walk on the dog beach, then out on the pier and of course topped the afternoon off sitting watching the sunset eating an ice cream.

    Welcome to all the newbies.  Elizabeth sorry you're feeling bad, like Ruth said try the acupuncture it really can help also Tai Chi is wonderful I highly recommend it.  Nite tarts.

    I want to move to Huntington Beach! It sounds lovely. Right now it reads 89 degrees at 1130 pm! I think it will be a bit cooler next week. 

    Sherry...that is great...what are you planting?

    Hi, Everyone:

    Hello to all Newcomers - the number of women joining this thread is AMAZING; let's keep up the good work!!!

    Just a brief fly-by - did the "Relay for Life" Saturday.  Ran for 1 hour (I do about 5 mph/hour), then walked for another hour with DH immediately after.  (That might be considered my "cool-down" exercise).  Bid on a beautiful hanging quilt (2 feet x 2 feet) and WON it!!!!!  I was so excited.  I felt the bid I placed wasn't enough; hours went into making that thing.  At any rate, it's mine.  Will try and post picture of it.  

    Then, we went out to eat and cruised all over L.A., listening to absurdly-loud rock-and-roll.  Got back home about 10:00 p.m.; went back to "Relay-for-Life" event and walked another 45 minutes.  Needless to say, we were both tired.

    Will catch up on individual threads later . . . .

    Kim:  Glad to see you posting again; I'm so sorry about your son and his issues.  Not being a parent, I can't imagine what it's like dealing with that; all of you are in my thoughts and prayers.

    Elizabeth:  Praying for you as well; drat this darn disease!

    hbCheryl:  Hope you are doing okay.  It's a good thing we didn't try to get together Friday; DH had oral surgery scheduled; due to the doctor having an emergency surgery, we didn't get out of there until after 5:00 p.m.  Aargh.  At least, he is feeling well.

    Patoo:  I'm sure you'll get to the more running and less walking stage as you continue to exercise.

    Am having my left nipple reconstructed this coming Wednesday.  Plastic Surgeon is removing a "lesion" from my right leg; he thought it "might" be skin cancer.  I find that hard to believe; I think it is a cyst, and I've had it for several years and it hasn't changed shape.  We'll see.  Thoughts and prayers are always appreciated; I don't want to have to deal with another health issue.

    {{{HUGS}}}

    Haven't looked at the weather; hope things are cooling down.

    Elizabeth:  More hugs.  I've always been glad to participate in these relays that contribute to finding a cure for cancer; now I'm REALLY glad!  Will be doing another one in August, then one in October.

    Julie congrats on the quilt.

    I worked unloading more dirt this evening.  We waited until it got cooler.  I worked in my home office today and got my desk cleaned off.  Went to dinner with friends and stayed out too late and then overslept and missed church.  Oh well last night was fun, had not seen these friends in a while.  Think I'll go cycling tomorrow. I need Texas too cool down, it is just way to hot to even go outside.

    I took the girls around the extended block so I could drop their poo bags in the trash at the park... sounds bad, but it smells!!!  So I am going back into the office today for the first time since losing my tissue expander - it is harder to hide lopsided boobs in the summer in dallas - LOL - but we will see.  I worked from home for the first week and a half after the surgery - I might come back home this afternoon if too tired... play it by ear...

    V I had a unilateral mastectomy with no recon and I'm totally lopsided, I wear scoop neck tops with gatherings so they just fall I mostly find really good tops at Dress Barn I try on a kizllion and pick one or two that look the best, some of them I wish I'd have gone back and bought another but isn't that always the way.

    I'm glad to be at work today having a rest after playing tour guide all weekend.  When you live at the beach you avoid it in peak hours in the summer because of the crowds but I've been down there all weekend with my houseguests, I am going to have a nice firm behind with all the barefoot sand walking I've been doingLaughing

    hbcheryl I use to live at the beach so I know what you are talking about.  Everyone wanted to come see us in the summer and I spent way more time at the beach than I really wanted to in the crowds.
