Well I have to admit that seen my friend this past week gave me feelings which make me believe I am ready to try to meet someone new. It seams as if I am finally over my ex, but I am scare of the bc thing, telling a man about it it's what bothers me now. I fear I ll scare man as soon as they know what I am going through. So I am not sure now.
Bb, for you the fact that they both left with not warning signs it's something that could scare anyone I am not sure but I am happy that you and I are over our ex maybe the new guy can change our view all together.

But feeling butterfly when I saw my friend made me realized Ya maybe I am over my ex now. Ha ha ha speaking of my ex he sent me a note yesterday saying he wished me a great weekend I guess he still thinks of me from time to time. Lol

I can't believe I sold it. Everything has change now. I need to not see those ladies for now cuz it makes me think of the past I cant have back lol

BB, I am happy about my overall looks only my breast are bothering me the burning the look of the implants and the rippling, the fact that I wear a bra 24/7 in order not to look another or feel the rubber under the thin skin. But my weigh is back to where I was before bc so that I am content with. Now the been broke part, the not having a normal salary or a normal life does bothers me a lot I try everyday to say positive thoughts in my head and then I push myself to meet with ladies that are even older than me and once they start talking about all the stuff they are doing and what their every day is like I smile and pretend it's all normal and great but inside I feel I am not longer part of them as if I am not fitting in the group. It's just Wierd. I am Wierd now. So I ll keep reading positive msg and I ll just try to wait for my surgery and then I am sure I ll have a new start. It's just this waiting is killing me slowly lol I don't know if I make any sense. My friend Sent me a msg telling me he was going to be by the beaches teaching the paddleboard I said I would go then I started to think in my head that I better wait for a warmer day bla bla bla the truth is that I am scared of showing up where there ll be a group of new people who are very fit and I may have a challenge keeping up with. So I sent a msg saying I wasn't goingvto make it. He was ok with that and that was it. Here I am reading my book trying to hide in my cave lol

I am sure it will pass, we just have to give it time. ;(
I still know there are ladies who are going through so much more so we will be fine. I pray for them, I ll never understand why we are living what we are living but I have to keep going and time will have to do it for me since I have not other way. Time helped me in the past and I am counting on it now.

Wish I could take a long road trip. For now I have to settle for day trips.
BB - I wish the unwanted hair hadn't returned for me. :-( I wouldn't miss it (lol).
E - I hope that with the next surgery the PS is able to help you feel comfortable in your own skin again. For now, I sympathize with you. Right now, I'm just hoping to save enough money somehow for the tattooing.
BTW, some time ago, I said I needed to lose the 10 lbs. that I gained over the winter. So far, in the past few weeks, I've lost 5 lbs. Anyway, I noticed something: Those 10 lbs. were weighing me down far more than 10 lbs. did before the double-MX. So, now I have a theory: It seems that 10 lbs. on my post-MX figure is really equivalent to 15-20 lbs. pre-MX because I don't gain weight in the chest anymore. I wonder if anyone else out there noticed the same thing?

i am in for the Rd trip lol
Life I agree, I also notice weight changed for me, I lost 12 bls I had gained during treatment and I manage to lose it, mostly by having not good digestion in the evening so I only have soup or fruits for dinner, basically I have carbs in the breakfast then proteins at lunch n nothing but soup at dinner. It helps my body maintain now. I felt really fat during chemo even though I couldn't eat much I gained almost 13 bls

the nordic walking pole thing has done a great job toning my upper dody, even my abb. I really never thought it would n it did. You must consider it. It's such an easy thing to do every 2 or 3 days I go for a 2 or 3 km walk n i enjoy it even though I wish I had someone to walk with. So I just use my music it's working great.

oh Ya I forgot to add sometimes my knee hurts too but I am wearing a knee band which helps.

i think there must be poles for sale, like I ll keep an eye on the garage sales lol I bet there are people who got them then never really use it. I myself thought I wasn't going to like it until I try and felt it the next day. I am one of those people who need the muscle pain in order to believe it's working lol one of the reasons I never stick to the yoga class, somehow I never really felt it was working lol now I see my arms are back to looking more on the fit side lol
0 -
lets google it in your city lol trust me it looks funny and I used to think "those people are silly, what could that possibly do?" then one day I just read about it and found a group who do it in my area. Took one class with them and Holly crap I was hurting all over for a few days. Then I bought the poles and started to go on my own. At my own time. Girl I ll try to take a picture of my upper body so you can see. It won't happen over night but I saw results within 4 weeks. I am not kidding lol I now love it. Yes I do feel Wierd when I do it cuz most people stair at me wile the see me pass them but I don't care. I have my music land in my ear n i keep going lol

OK ladies we are walking across the "Purple People Bridge" from Kentucky into Cincy and viewing the other side of the Ohio River from The Great American Ball Park.

This is great. It's my first time in Kentucky or Ohio. ;-) Enjoying this virtual road trip so far. :-)

oh bb, I paid $30 got them of a lady who didn't use them at all but here it cost around 60 to 80 they are not cheap
that's why i was thinking of the garage sales. How much are the pink bc one you found? I think if you like walking then this could do wonders for you. It has improved my overall body in terms of how it became during chemo. 0 -
I was on vacation BB. Short lived as it was. That is why I had time to be the party girl. Now it's back to the daily grind.
That nordic walking video was a nice intro tutorial E.
Ohhh the road trip....let's see what I can dig up......I think we should all contribute to the road trip. Kind of fun to see where everyone is hanging, what your are doing and the pretty places we visit for some brief respite from our worries.

Hi ladies- back from my travels and wanted to say hi. My time back east was good, but I came back tired and of course, dealing with a bit of jet lag. My bag did not make it in last night, so I was there dealing with that at midnight as I arrived, but it showed up this am and went to pick it up this morning and all is fine there. I spent the afternoon relaxing and finally was able to take a 3 hour nap later in the day and just got up.
I have to go have my 6 month mammo and ultrasound tomorrow along with my follow up on Friday with the BS, and have to get my head around that now.
BB- trust has always been a big issue for me as I have had a lot of boyfriends who could not be faithful. What I try to do now is to just really take things slow and get to know people before I give too much of myself. I don't there are any sure fire ways to know if someone will stay with us or not, but I try to make men prove they are worthy before I get too invested. I have had too much heartbreak in my life to put myself in that situation any more!
Piper- nice pics, and glad to hear you got a little break.
Life- traveling is great but I find really hard on the body these days. I come away with a sore back, sore feet and so much more and feel more "trashed" after a long day of plane travel anywhere. Day trips are really a good thing in so many ways. I won't be traveling again now until maybe October when I hope to go to northern Cali for a work conference.
Enerva- if you feel ready to meet someone, you go girl. You are young and beautiful and there is someone nice out there for you. Just make him prove he deserves you!
