Exercise and well being during chemo and radiation

JackB: I'd love to see the video but I can't seem to click on it: is it my computer or the link?

Yep! Social Distortion put out a new album a few years ago. It ROCKS.

Ok Ksusan- I fold. Tom Waits is always the winning hand. You reign as queen hipster today!

edited to add: and that song is bad ass. Now I'm stuck in a Tom Waits loop here at work- should make therapy interesting LOL

Somehow yesterday I got in 10k steps in addition to my 3 miles at the gym. 1/2 way to 10k today so far. Although I did it in a careless way. Walked to the library, 1.5mi round trip w/o sunscreen or water, an umbrella would've been helpful as well. The sun is so sunny, currently in the 80s - heading up 95. Blech. I have lots of errands to run so hopefully I'll hit that target

Nice work eileen!

Ksusan. Yes. You are the queen of all hip. Patti Smith is awesome

1hr eliptical...sigh

Eileen, Jen, and Theresa- well done today! And thanks, T for sharing your bike ride. It sounded spectacular, and I thought I caught a whiff if ocean air. 🚴🚵🏻🚴🚵🏻🚴🚵🏻🚴🚵🏻 (trying to show some hills I know you climbed in the background.)

did I mention how beautiful the ocean was today? Lol!

Theresa: I wish I were there….although you would be talking to me and I would just be agreeing with everything you said.

I wouldn't care. I started helping a friend learn to ride, and we go reaaallllly slow. But I kind of like the change, so I ride with her, then double up and do a second ride and speed run with Cheryl. And I take my step daughter, she goes on an electric bike, pedals when she can, and uses power the rest of the time. It is super fun to have companionship!

isn't that the truth, this stupid heat and humidity has been brutal. And I have totally trashed myself this week so today I am not doing a damn thing other than walking. And tomorrow is Herceptin and first post- chemo mammogram. I made an appointment with my breast doctor for next week to go over results. Argh, I really hate this shit

KSusan, I posted on the other thread, but ditto what Sloth said. I'm an hour from Roseburg and the community here is traumatized. I know you're in education and thought of you immediately when I heard. I'm so very sorry for all of the losses that touch you directly and indirectly. I can't begin to fathom the pain you've had in the last two weeks.

Theresa: You have to wait a whole week to find out? Ugh. That makes me mad.
