Exercise and well being during chemo and radiation

Octo, love retail therapy!

25 miles, 1550 feet of climbing, and I got a queen of the mountain on a downhill, which means the fastest chick in that section. I guess I got fatter lol

Yesterday 15k steps, 18 flights of stairs. I miss being in a city where you can actually walk somewhere.

Sounds like a nice walk Katy!

What a beautiful photo, that tomato looks so perfect...yum!

Unexpected house decontamination slowed down my exercise over the weekend, but back to my walking today. 2.7 mi in walking + steps so far today, hope to get to 4-5 mi by the end of the day.

Good luck on both the flights AND the presentation, ksusan!

Octogirl

best of luck, ksusan.

Katy, I can smell the freshness of that tomato. I love the way garden picked tomatoes, smell!

Soap bubbles to me! 😍

5 millions laps around the neighborhood and back yard with grand kids. Wonder what a Fitbit would say?

Beautiful garden produce Katy! And good luck ksusan!

I had a few days without too much exercise; Friday traveling back home from radiation (on an Angel Flight for part of the way and then driving plus ferry) and a weekend at home and traveling back down here for radiation again on Monday (I ended up driving cuz I couldn't get ahold of either of the shuttle organizations after my Angel Flight was cancelled). I did do some dancing during theatre practice on Sunday, so I guess that counts.

Back at it today. I had a beautiful bike ride; about 27km

And I did good on my nutritional goals as well; 100oz fluids, 125g protein, 11 servings fruits/veggies.

10 rads done and 6 to go :-)

Eaglemom- VERY PRETTY!!!! (And the scenery was very nice, too!)

Yay! - Thanks for all the support You are all beautiful and amazing!!

Yesterday I ran 4.5 miles before work in the dark with a headlamp and even headlamps around my dogs necks. A thunderstorm was approaching and it was absolutely spectacular!! After work I was able to play ultimate frisbee - my last game of the season due to darkness. I think a lot of people were shocked to see me out there running and sprinting! So much fun!

Thanks for the help about posting pics. I'll try to post something soon....need to download some recent ones from my camera.

eaglemom, that's a pretty ride. Wouldn't mind riding that everyday :-)

me. Today.

Thanks for posting that Jackbirdie/Katy. When I went to the class the person running it discouraged people from using false eyelashes and eyebrows because "the glue was toxic and being applied directly to the skin". I pointed out that the make-up is toxic and it is also going directly on the skin. Such a disappointment. Another person in the class when through each item and gave back all the ones she could not and would not use due to allergies and toxicity. There wasn't much left. I don't wear make-up, but as I wait for my eyebrows and lashes to fall out (day 15 post first chemo) I was interested in learning how to maybe apply them.

Happy Wednesday!

Thanks everyone. It truly added to my "well-being" to write all the letters I have this month. Physically made me feel better.

For my new friends here, you'll find I need a lot of help with the exercise part of this thread, motivating myself. I think I might be thought of as a distraction, focusing so much on well-being at times. I never thought it would come to this. I'm just glad I got some of my mojo back that the biatch tried to take from me.
