Hello everyone. Not sure I can count this as exercise but I walked up and down both flights of stairs in our new house so many times yesterday that my calves are super sore today. I'm hoping to get on the treadmill tomorrow for a little while.

Ruth, love the pictures. It would be great to have a place like that to walk.

Zumba tonight.
Hello to all! Sending the VOICES, sweet!
_Ann_ hope you got the real drug and your shoulder starts feeling better soon. And patoo, hope all is well with your teeth.
Mom, if your calves hurt that means you have exercised them! Kindergarten, hill are also great for the calves.
Mary, I am going to start to scrounge around for old coins!

hello ladies...luv the pics, it always makes me smile to see you girls smiling. I've been fighting a virus but I managed to just miss out on a day of exercise which is good. I did an hour on my bike today. It's freezing over here so it's getting really hard to warm up the body.....my creaky bones are really feeling it hehe. I refuse to turn on the heating so I'm getting through winter by snuggling up to my hot water bottle and wrapping myself up in my blue fluffy blanket...call me Linus.

Momma: WELCOME! Good luck with AC. That's wonderful that you are exercising.
Patoo: Here's hoping that you wake up with a pain free mouth tomorrow.
Pat: You are a good friend!
Sweet: Way to go!
Ruth: Love the picture!
Badger: Thinking of you and hope you are not in the flood areas.
_Ann_: May your shoulder continue to improve daily.
Good evening all! I power walked/jogged at the park this evening. It was hot. And humid.
OT: Below is a picture from November 2007 when my hair was growing back in. While working at the hospital, I organized a Girl Scout workshop for girls to earn the "In the Pink" badge. The picture is from a newspaper article about the event. I loved my chemo curls and short hair! Now I wear it in a ponytail while exercising to help with the sweat factor. Here's my Throw Back Thursday picture:

Cute! I enjoyed my curls too, although every morning when I looked in the mirror I was rather startled, 'Whose hair is on my head?!'

Wonderland, beautiful picture!! Lisa, that is great-60minute walk!!Mommato3-running up and down the stairs is great exercise!! Have a great evening!

Oh Wonderland I love your curls! My curls are so tight. I look like Jerry Seinfeld.

If you are like me; first they were tight, then they were perfect, then they were gone. Weird!

I can't wait for perfect!!

SBD I loved your curls. (((Patoo))) hope when you wake up the tooth fairy has been. You look so cute with curls Wonderland. Lisa it's hard to get back up but glad the voices got to you. Betty I grew up in a Federation house, I know that bone chilling cold, we had a fireplace in every room but it had to a special night before Mum would 'light the fire'. Ann sure hope that you got the real deal and your shoulder resolves quickly. Mom if your calves are hurting don't forget to stretch them, it will help. Kathy hills are good, when we were in San Francisco I earned my 'Helicopter' badge on Fitbit for walking up 75 flights of stairs.
Did Sh'bam class this morning and didn't know if I could pull off going to the gym tonight as I was tired but I rallied and managed to actually do a full Spin class with just a few coughing fits.

LOL hbcheryl! I actually spent half an hour blow drying the curls out when I saw you.
You are like the energizer bunny - good job!

SBD too funny, but you know it's all relative, like today a girl came by my office and after greeting me she commented on how lovely my hair looked, well to me it should have been cut last weekend and it's just a hot mess

So true hb!
I'm so thankful to have hair - even if I do look like JS.

SlowDeepBreaths, when I saw you a few weeks ago, your hair looked really cute! Headed for a walk soon!!

Ann, the cost of the injection is unreal and perhaps you did get the 'real deal' - hope so. ms_mez, I'm trying to get my shy ds to accept a gym membership to use when his school is out for summer. He loves yoga as much as me now. Wonderland, nice photo and had no idea there was a bc badge. Ruth, looks like your walking group has grown. Cheryl, good to know you are feeling better and bopping about. NatsFan, ready for the July 4th run?
Bought Kindle edition of My Soul is Among Lions, by Ellen Leopold. The book review by Angela Wall states: This
book brings together many of Leopold’s essays and, combined in this
collection, they reveal a history of personal and cultural narratives
that show how women, including Leopold herself, have intervened in the
course of this disease [bc]: some publicly, some privately, some written out
of history, some by writing the history themselves, and some, thanks to
Leopold’s book, now written back into history. Read the entire review at: bcaction.org. If you buy the book you can use Amazon Smile and a portion of your purchase will be donated to
BCAction. The link to Amazon Smile can be found within the excellent book review linked above.Body balance and pink pilates this morning and now off to late afternoon vinyasa flow yoga.

Good to hear from you LB. How's your DH's hand doing? The book sounds fascinating. Right now I'm in the middle of a book about Champagne and war, and how champagne (the wine) and Champagne (the region) have been impacted by and have impacted on war. I love champagne, so this book is fascinating to me. Wonder - your curls are adorable!!
When the California Dreamin' squad had dinner in SF, we got to talking that a few years ago on this thread we jokingly called ourselves the TARTS. Sadly, none of us there could remember exactly why we did that or how it started - blame it on Armidex, I guess!
Well, I just did a search of this thread and found the original post that started it all, and it was our own Ruth who did it!

something funny: tonight I did an old tape called 'Super Charged
Sculpt';later a friend called to visit & thought I said I'd done a
workout called "Super TART Sculpt'! (Actually sounds better, doesn't
it?!). So keep tarting it up girls!!For the next few years, we'd all tease about our workouts, calling them Super TART workouts!
So for old time's sake, I'm reporting my class last night as a Super TART Yin Yoga class, and my morning workout as a Super TART Weight Training workout! TTFN, my sister TARTS!

Geez, I am more clever than I thought!
So, I did my Tartly Core and Pilates Tart classes and am now watching some of the rainy, rainy soccer game. Go Team USA!

hi ladies...I am on here off and on...I finished chemo June 2...TAC. Started rads this week...
Still tired and legs are heavy and weak, but trying to go to pool and walk/ do leg exercises every other day...20 minutes. Rads are at 3 so I rest before I head out...40 minute ride....
Hoping hubby gets me a fitbit for our 30th! Are they waterproof?? Will visit here again! Rosie ....when is strength back after chemo???? Frustrated
0 -
So far today just a 15 minute TART walk at breaktime this morning.
Rosiesride - my fitbit is waterproof, I wear it in the tub or shower or doing dishes. Haven't been in a swimsuit yet but don't plan on taking it off to swim either. I do take it off when I tan so I don't get a tan line, or if I want to wear pretty bracelets on that arm with a more dressy outfit than usual.

Rosie - I did 6*TAC too - it's brutal, isn't it? Two weeks after I finished, I hopped on the elliptical for the first time in months. Before tx, I could do an hour an an elliptical, but that first time after chemo, I lasted exactly 5 minutes before I had to stop, exhausted. But I kept at it and gradually worked my way back. At the same time I started a gentle yoga class. I couldn't make it through the class for the first few weeks, and couldn't hold most poses for more than a few seconds. But I'd talked with my instructor before the first class and explained my situation (my bald head was another clue that all was not normal with me). She encouraged me to do what I could, and to stop when I needed. So that's what I did.
You will get your strength back, but I won't kid you - it's not something that will happen in a few weeks. But just keep at it, doing what you can, and you'll notice an improvement. A fitness tracker would be great - you'll be able to really see your progress. I think you need to do some really heavy hinting to your dh. ("Dear, I want a Fitbit for our anniversary" should be subtle enough!

Rosie, don't be frustrated. Just keep doing what you can do for now, and it will help you bounce back faster when you are done with treatment. Some ladies get really tired during rads (although I could feel my energy actually coming back), and there is no way to know how it will make you feel until you do it. Some of the things I read said to take the amount of time you were in active treatment and expect that it will take you that long again to feel all the way 'normal'.....I would say to double that amount of time (of course, you will feel better & better), but to be 100% will take time. Keep checking in here, we will be your cheerleaders!!

I went for a 30 min walk with the hubby and kids tonight. I also walked up and down all those stairs like a hundred times. Probably not but sure seemed like it! The good thing is that my calves don't hurt as bad today.
Rosie, they say expect the same amount of time you go through treatment to expect the same amt of time to get all your strength back. You'll get there!!

Rosie, congratulations on finishing chemo and good luck with rads!!

Wonderland, love your curls!!! Beautiful picture. Ann, hope your shoulder is continuing to improve each day. Lilacblue, will definitely have to check out the book. Cheryl, glad to hear you are feeling better and almost back full throttle.
Did a Tart 15 minute walk yesterday evening before going to Weight Watchers. Today was my one hour boot camp and my friend Sara actually came back for more fun
. Agreed that as challenging as it can be at times, we feel so much stronger after each class. Happy Friday my sculpted friends.
