    Hi, Tammy!! I am doing the 10,000 steps a day challenge!! Makes me walk, even when I do not want to!! Also, my doc told me, bottom line to lose weight: low fat, low carb and eliminate sugar!! Yikes, it is hard!! I did give up sugar for Lent, but I cheated yesterday!!!

    10000 steps a day will definately help.  My grandmother and her generation walked everywhere.  We have to try and walk crazy isnt it.   Girl I work with quit sugar she was very strict and lost five kilos very quickly.  Anyway doctors orders lose weight so do whatever you have to lovely lady.

    Im on my way home from last radiation can't wipe the smile off my face.  Two more weeks of training on my own and then Im joining my gym buddies in the classes.  So excited my life is off hold☺☺☺

    I had my nipple tattoo on Monday and was told I couldn't work out till I sweat for a week! I waited three days and went to the gym today and got on my elliptical for 60 minutes! I'm officially addicted.

    Congratulations Cinque!! Your are one tough lady!! Keep up the great work with the gym and strong positive attitude!!

    Great job too Homemom!!

    Hi Kathy & Tammy! I have no good results to post on my weight loss. I can say that I am continuing to go slowly down on my prednisone. Every day is a guess on how I will feel. But, I am working and walking almost every day! I even did a little yard work yesterday with this unusually warm weather we are having!

    Have a great Sunday and healthy week!!

    Thanks girls.  Sorry you're feeling poorly tenaj.  I experience fluctuations in energy from day to day.  Mornings are particularly difficult.  Just keep trying tenaj every bit of activity is a step in the right direction.

    Cinque, happy dance for the end of radiation! You'll start to feel better now that you can exercise. I started running the day after I finished radiation and it was tough but really good for me.

    HomeMom, great work! Janet, you're amazing and have the right attitude so you'll get there in the end.

    Hi Kathy! My weight is stable and I'm back into dragon boat paddling and yoga so much hat's OK for now 😀

    Hi girls thanks for encouragement/good wishes.  Energy levels up and down so getting to bed very early.  Did my first circuit class yesterday, I found it hard and exhilarating makes me feel alive.  So nice to be back with my gym buddiesI Ive missed the banter.  Going again today I was going to pace myself but I cant lm ready to start living again.

    Tammy is there a chance of going to Italy with the dragon boat racing....I think you mentioned it in an older post....or I could have imagined it.  I love


    Italy.

    I missed my initial appointment today with the personal trainer. It just totally slipped my mind, I had so many things to do. I'll reschedule for when I get back from vacation. I leave a week from tomorrow for Paris/London. I'll be gone for 9 days, but I see there is a small elliptical machine in the apartment we are renting.

    I think I'm more nervous about going to Paris in light of the uptick in terror attacks then I was about chemo!

    You ladies are doing great!! Dragon boat racing, Gym circuits, trips to Paris, grandchildren, I love it !! Lots of living and enjoying is what I hear! Great news...I have been feeling better, I've been on the treadmill twice this week and even went down on the prednisone again!! I've been working extra from my part time job, walking and eating well. I have not been on the scale and don't want to. I know I am doing the right things right now. Next week is another story....I am flying to see my daughter & son-in-law in Cambridge, MA next week. I am very excited!! She has all these places she wants to take me to. One of them is an organic chocolate factory!!! Can you imagine?? And some other cute eateries that have opened by her. There will be lots of walking, and eatingI will try to just taste! Most of all I look forward to spending some quality time with them When they visit home their time has to be split with his family and there is never enough time.....It is going to be me!! We will be making grandma's traditional Easter bread

    Keep up the positive, energetic attitude Ladies!!!

    (((HUGS)))Janet
