Lets Post our Daily Exercise

Real ice cream is either based on cream alone or has a custard base of eggs and cream (plus sugar and real flavorings).  So the quality of eggs is really important here.  Ideally, you want ones from hens that aren't caged and have a superior diet.  The yolks are bright orange.

I had some similar eggs for breakfast yesterday, and just delish.

The ice cream place is Snoqualmie Ice Cream.  They also do flavors such as lavender and honey.  So they are also raising lavender and keeping bees.  Berries too.

All essential for fabulous ice cream.  I didn't find out where they get their chocolate from, but Seattle has no shortage of fabulous chocolate places.   Theo is the best known, but at least a dozen others.  Such as Chocolopolis!  My own fave is Fiori.

Anyway, the ice cream was more than worth the calories. - Claire

Joy, we are enjoying the day off as the three of us took in a gastro pub lunch at a lovely village named Wye and our starter shared was monk (fish) cheeks bruschetta and I had a terrific stuffed cheese burger.  Jen, you are doing good and Mowing Queen Mary offers excellent personal experience as does Patoo.  Yes Claire, ice cream does make life just a little bit more enjoyable..ok, a whole lot more enjoyable!  Pat hope all goes well at the onc.

Did 5k, listening to zom app (story is getting better), in the heath on jog rather than comfortable or pace.  Wouldn't you know it,  4 minutes slower than Saturday (so far my fastest time).  Too heavy (too much really) of a lunch but what the heck - it's a holiday and I'm in holiday mode.  Sunburned too...God, I'm turning English!

Hope you will sail through, Marian. Use your lotion religiously. I could actually feel my energy returning during rads...which was a good feeling, for sure.

A beautiful day here. Walked and walked.

I havent walked since before my surgery, so I started tonight. My kids and I walked around one of our town ponds.  Only 15 minutes, but it was a start.  (The kids were pushing for more, but I was tired)  I understand diet and activity are important to help get thru chemo which I start tomorrow and to  prevent recurrences so I plan on eating much healthier and walking the recommended time to do my share.  REading all of this really inspires me.  Keep up the good work.

marianelizabeth, I hope you find rads a "non-event" after chemo.  

lilacblue, Stuffed cheeseburger!  That's my new secret fantasy!

Ran 45 minutes yesterday.  Today I am honoring my hips and resting a bit, maybe a gentle walk with dh tonight.

rode on the stationary bike for a 1/2 hour yesterday and going to squeeze in an hour today.  Getting into a rythem!

OH Pat, have a great time at Friendly Fenway! And don't forget to sing Sweet Caroline nice and loud!!

5.5 mile run this morning, even though I'm still coughing and stuffy.

Making raviolis tonight and I probably should go for a walk afterwards but . . .

LB I knew you'd get it  Mary I forgot to tell you. last sunday night the finale of the Amazing Race did one of their challenges in Nats stadium so got to see lots of it, before you know it July will be here  Ann we got the rain too, on friday I got sunburned and on sunday morning the dog beach walk was freezing with big black clouds and then the sky just opened up ... and you know of course I had just put out all the patio furniture, now it's soaked, ah well!!!!!  Badger cookies for breakfast is perfectly acceptable. 

Probably won't make it to the gym much the rest of the week, my friend leaves on friday so we are going to be doing touristy things for the next few evenings - you know meandering around shops and eating

Welcome Worry, smart to be walking during chemo. Anything at all you can do during it will help you bounce back faster once you are done.

Ann, I had a lump & rads & my boob sweats. I don't remember if it ever quit for awhile or not. Maybe with someone with a better memory will chime in.

We were supposed to start our extended school days today, but at 9pm got a robo call that the governor had 'forgiven' our days (can you imagine what a hard time he must have making REAL decisions ), but anyway, the kids were happy & felt somewhat like condemned prisoners on Death Row who get a reprieve at the last minute.

Another beautiful day, walked for an hour and 30 minutes FIRM Sculpt-ates....pilates with a toning band.

Welcome Worrywort! 

I haven't posted lately but I've been staying active. Today I pushed mowed and other yard work for 2 hours. Then went to the park for my walk/run.

Ruth: several years ago we had a lot of snow days to make up. The school system extended the school days for several weeks to get in the required hours. It was draining for everyone!

(I'm trying to post a new picture without success. I'll keep trying.)

Aach - disappearing post, I hate that.

Thanks for all the fenway good wishes - we have showers forecast - but they won't dampen my spirit!

Mary, dvr a few classical stretch shows and try it.  It is such a wonderful way to start your day, even if you can only squeeze in the first 10 minutes (I think it is a 20 or so minute show).  The instructor Miranda had breast cancer too.  I love her outlook on keeping our bodies strong and flexible as we age.

Cheryl - I love the Amazing Race, one of my favorite shows, and thought of Mary too when they were at the Nats stadium.  I was pleased with the winners too, they deserved it.

Ann - lumpectomy and radiation and my boob still sweats - maybe it is a function of where they irradiated?  In fact, the last several nights I've been plagued with night sweats - they had calmed down for a while, but are picking back up again with a vengeance, just in time for summer!

I had a nice brisk walk with a friend this morning for about an hour.

hi all and welcome worrywart.  Good luck with chemo!  Do what you can but try to walk a little every day even if up & down the hallway at home.  That really helped me.  Some days it was all I could do to go get the mail but I've walked nearly 3,500 miles in the three years since then.

Have had a stretch of beautiful days so been walking at noon and also after work.  Logged 18.9 km = 11.75 miles since last post.

Cheryl & Pat, I saw Sunday's Amazing Race and was so excited they were at Nats Park!

Mary, I also like to mow.  It started when I was maybe 9 or 10 and stuck inside doing housework with my mom, while my brother was outside doing yardwork with my dad.  I asked why and was told, this is women's work and that is men's work.  Instant feminist - that's not fair!  So for me, mowing the lawn is a political statement.  DH and I used to take turns but I was afraid to after surgery but I did mow half the lawn and it felt good! Looked good!  Smelled good!!

LB, I'm a big fan of Ina Garten.  Her recipe for rugelach is out of this world.  Would be a tasty breakfast.    http://www.barefootcontessa.com/recipes.aspx?RecipeID=150&s=0

We've reached page 499 and post 14,950.  Page 500 and post 15,000 soon!  ♥

today a 3 mile fast walk

Well Ruth, your twins were awesome.  At times it looked like batting practice, hit after hit after hit.  Had a great time with my friends - then after a bit the guys disappeared, and went across the street to a bar to watch the Bruins game - eventually we joined them, and I must say the Hockey game overtime was a bit more exciting than watching the red sox lose!  A wonderful first time experience of Fenway for me, but I am dragging today, didn't get home until 1 am!
