    Ending chemo, resuming workouts ?

    Thank you, FelineLuv! Your advice makes a lot of good sense to me! I've been doing some step and some kickbox here and there when I feel up to it already and I will keep building up. My workouts have been rather scattered during treatment, so after my final treatment and a generous/smart...

    Ending chemo, resuming workouts ?

    Thank you, Elle! You are absolutely right, and I will take your advice about listening to my body. I'm doing that today, in fact. Feeling weak with cold-like symptoms so I've been feeding myself healthFULL foods and resting on the couch. ;) Many thanks! :)

    Ending chemo, resuming workouts ?

    Thank you, Brenda! I appreciate your kindness and expert advice!! Stamina is definitely an issue for me, so I know I will have to go easy and build up slowly. It's hard on the ol' ego, but I know killing all those nasty cancer cells is worth it! I have been doing some Yoga throughout my...

    Aparently I'm a total workout snob. :(

    Oh Janie, I'm so sorry you're going through this frustrating and sad situation. People in general don't handle uncomfortable situations well, and it's even worse when they feel like they don't measure up to you. YOU, however, are fabulous! YOU have worked hard to accomplish your current fitness...

    Oh Cathe!! Thank you so much for writing to me!! And thank you for the hugs! I did do KPC, the warm up and combo 1 plus the cool down stretch. It was about 30 minutes of work.

    Any interest in Cathletes with cancer thread/group?

    I'm currently going through chemo treatment, and I'm sure that other Cathletes are dealing with cancer treatments too. I was wondering if anyone thinks a 'daily' check in thread/support group would be helpful? I think it would for me, but I'm not sure I will have time every day to check...
