    Does it count that I worked a half/day in our Feathered Friends department?  I spent several hours kneeling then standing, kneeling then standing etc. as I cleaned cages.  (I work at Best Friends Animal Society - largest no-kill animal sanctuary in the country).

    Achy legged purrs,

    Hi, there, everyone!!! Had a great weekend riding bikes and walking, but I also had alot of fun eating. Back to normal hopefully this week. Thank you all for being here so that it makes me feel compelled to keep exercising, despite my bad eating habits. I won't give up. I have got exercise routine down pat, now comes the diet. Have a wonderful night and week. Kathy

    I have missed almost 20 pages...good grief! Not going to try and catch up but will assume you are all at the gym because it is cold out!! Walked/ran on the treadmill for 20, did some lunges and back stretches.

    Sandee so good to "see" you again, I have been wondering where you have been.

    Today I did a Body Step class and it was a new release, I don't who thinks up all these new moves - tap to the side, tap up on the step, tap back to the side geesh trying just to "get it" is a work out in itself and I did Body Combat yesterday.

    Hi hbcheryl,

    I think I have been living my life...went home for Christmas and was caught up in life there and not going on the internet...came home for a night and then went away on a business trip and then away for two more days ...and then back to school...I have been missing you folks though so thought I should pop in and say hullo! (nice to be missed!)

    Hi Sandee! Glad to 'see' you!

    Badger, so sorry about the Pack! I don't dare call my sister tonight because they are both Bronco and Packer fans. Yikes!!

    I am taking a 10 minute break and then back to my report. Too much paperwork with my job! Yell

    ~walked around the golf course with a good friend this afternoon~ I think we burned more calories from laughing then walking.

    Ruth~ I hear you on the paperwork!

    Happy Sunday Night all

    Thanks for all the kind words :-)



    Despite nausea still stalking me this morning I walked up the hill to the bus stop with my husband when he was off to work. Then I continued the long way home. Probably only about .8 of a mile but I was pretty happy with that considering the uncomfortable port and the nausea :-)



    Port seems to be settling down again and I went to my PCP and got a better anti-nausea med so hopefully tomorrow will be better.

    walked my 3 miles today with DH and the puppy.  She is so funny how she dances around when she knows we are getting ready to go. 

    Welcome to the newbies and good going for those having chemo and still moving right along.

    I am going tomorrow for my breast MRI.  This is a new breast surgeon so I don't know if he will call me with results or make me wait until I see him on the 25th, although I don't expect anything to be there since my last surgery was in November.  This is just a follow up to make sure they got everything.  If everything looks good then I'll get the green light to move forward with my BMX.

    Ralston, rumba is great (zumba, that is, without auitocorrect)! Saw a friend yesterday at the gym and made a date to do rumba together. I lost 500 grams this week (Monday weigh-in). Will do my couch to 5k this morning, 20 minutes running/walking, then weights and stretches to finish off.

    I second Heidi, Ralston, Zumba is TONS of fun. You will enjoy it, it does not feel like exercise.

    After a very lazy weekend in the frigid temps of New England, I did The Firm Cardio Sculpt Blaster with a high step this morning. Only 40 mins, but phew, I am whooped.

    Yoga with adorable Rick tonight!

    Hope all have a great day :)

    Enjoy your day everyone

    I am very proud to announce that I got my (previously little) butt back into the gym this morning!!!  

    It felt good but I see that I have lost some ground.  I kinda noticed that riding was getting more diffiucult too.  I hope that I can keep this up-- I have 11 more treatments of chemo left....

    (btw, it did feel very good) Q

    hi everyone, I had today off work so started with A.M. Yoga (standing poses and twists) then also got in a nice long walk outdoors.  Too bad about the Packers, they played so well all year then bombed yesterday.  Oh well, it's just a game, right?

    Better day today (day 5 after tx and port a little less uncomfortable).



    Managed a 2.1 mile walk and felt good. Definitely not up at normal pace but at least I was out there. The look on my poor dogs face when I keep leaving him at home each morning is so sad though, but I just don't feel that I'm up to the lead tugging and picking up doggy poop yet.

    Hi, didn't have school today so tried to exercise ahead as I have 'things' a couple nights this week. 30 minutes of pilates, 30 of Cardio Dance Party and 45 on the treadmill. My feet were starting to feel pounded so dragged out a new pair of shoes (I always keep a new pair in the closet so when I need them, I have them) and it is amazing how much better my legs/back/everything felt wearing them. Also finally finished the report I was working on yesterday.

    Back to work tomorrow & Wednesday I have another 6th month checkup, so I am starting to get the 'butterflies in the stomach' feeling about that. Should be fine....but still......

    So... first time on weight machines since surgery - leg abductor and hamstring. Six minutes on the bike-like machine for arms (no clue what it's called, but my PT introduced me to it and it's my best bet for upper body until I get rid of my TEs), and 20 minutes on the bike. Low level, but I'm getting there.

    I've done zumba and love it - lots of latin dance steps (I love salsa dancing, so it's great for me) with arm movements. It can be pretty intense, but a fantastic workout. I'm hoping to start up this Thursdays.
