I made it to 10 days in a row of Jillian's 30 Day Shred (20 minute cardio/strength training) Level 1, with 20 minutes (about a mile and half) on the treadmill right behind it for 5 of the 10 days. Then I missed Tues., Wed., Thurs., Friday last week..... but I hit it again today. I can't believe how out of shape I am and how sore it makes me. There are days that I feel so old and tired. But, I know it is helping me. At least I think it is anyway. The stiffness and pain in my pelvis is so weird. To me it feels like I have run a marathon without any training. That was one main reason I decided to get back in the swing of an exercise regime again. I mean, if I have to have pain and stiffness, I want it to be from actual exercise. :-) I also contacted the Bikram Yoga studio I used to go to but I haven't been to class since Oct. 2011. I think that will help with the flexibility. Does anyone else do Bikram (hot yoga)? Now I'm going to enjoy a snowy Saturday getting ready for friends to come over for dinner. What should I make? Hmmm........
Looking forward to meeting with my oncologist on the 12th. It's been 3 months since we last met. I wonder what questions I need to ask. Any ideas? I finished treatment on 7/23. Is it time for a PET/CT? I've had a sore throat (really really sore) for 3 months and have been on two rounds of antibiotics which haven't helped? Should I bring that up? Also, have had two UTI's and had antibiotics for that. I think I had another last week but it sort of went away. Should I ask about that? My skin tone still looks off and I have dark circles under my eyes which I never really had before. People say I look great and like I never was sick (the only reason I was sick was from the treatment no the cancer). Isn't that the weird thing about cancer?
My backyard at 7:30 AM Weathergirl says 4 feet by tomorrow. One can hope! |
