40's September thread

Hi girls! Today did premix from CF. Roxie! I would have been running out of the house screaming!!!! Good Lord! You are a brave girl! Ronne, have fun this weekend! pP is push pull! Lisa, so glad she is helping you! What a gift! Hi Murphy! Jody, how was your week at school? Football tonight, croos country in the morning. Have a good evening! Mary
 
Good morning! Did L&G today, an old one, fun. We are off to cross country meet, hope all is well with everyone! Have a good day! Mary
 
Did yr, just no energy. And pt exercises. Wasn't happy that the downloads weren't available yet some already got their DVDs
 
Good Afternoon,

Its only 57 degrees here today so no lake and like Lisa no energy but I need to do a workout later.

Lisa-I checked on FB and I don't see where anyone has gotten their workouts yet UPS usually only does business deliveries on Saturdays not home. I think someone misread because alot have posted they got their shipment announcement mine is suppose to be here Wednesday.

Mary-it was a wolf spider and I almost left the house but then I would have lost site of it before DH got home.
 
ended up taking a 2.75 mile walk with the dogs and dh. I pulled out the spin bike and turns out the handlebars go higher, so I may be doing more spinning(the standing sprints I will do seated, those aggravate my neck). I think the MMA Boxing aggravated my top neck to shoulder (more specifically the levator scapulae muscle.) massage person (CMT) says this one will be the bothersome one for a while so I decided instead of being in pain I should avoid TOO much use of the arms, because yestreday I felt so awful (the day after MMA Boxing).

 
Did most of AT today. I skipped the step portion in the beginning. I had to use lighter weights, but I was able to do it. It felt good. My next chemo is Wednesday so I am trying to get in what I can now before the next round hits me. I must say, I am blessed, this has been manageable so far. I may try something tomorrow, depending on how I feel.

Lisa - I saw that same post that someone already got their dvd's but saw nothing else about it. If they had them they probably would have posted all about whatever workout they did. I live about 2 hours from Cathe's gym. If anyone would have gotten it by now it should be me. I usually get them the next day or two at the most from being shipped. I agree with Roxie that they must have meant the notice.

Roxie - wolf spider? Was he howling? :)

Waves to all!
Murphy
 
Good Morning,

I will make up Xtrain CB&S go for a walk outside because its 58 degrees right now and not suppose to get to warm and later I will make up Xtrian Cardio Leg Blast and do a stretch.

Murphy-good job getting a workout in. I wish it would of howled then I could have kept track of it they are the Kansas version of a tarantula bigger around then a half dollar.

Lisa-good job with your walk.
 
Hi all! Did YR today. Roxie, I think I would have wet myself! Are you gonna do all those workouts today? Murphy, that is a tough one! How many more treatments do you have? Do you have to do radiation? I'm sorry if I'm asking too many questions. I think of you daily and keep you in my prayers. I want this to go away for you. Lisa, I would think all the punches would aggravate things. Spin bike sounds like an awesome idea! Your dogs are so cute! Jody, are you buried under books? Ronne, how was all your fun this weekend? We went to dinner at friend's house last night. Lots of laughs! Chili and football today and not much of anything else! Have a good day! Mary
 
Good Afternoon,

I went for a 2 mile walk outside and its a very beautiful day out later I will do Cardio Leg Blast and a stretch.

Mary-I just realized I work BS CB&S so no I won't do that workout.
 
Mary - I don't mind questions. I have three more treatments of A/C (I could not tell you what they stand for), once a week every other week and then once a week treatments of taxol/herceptin for 12 weeks. Then surgery. I am not sure about radiation. They will talk more about that after surgery. After all is said and done, I have a year of herceptin for a year, once a week every 3 weeks. Thank you for the prayers.

Murphy
 
just a dog walk of 1.5 miles and then shopping-max (add another mile---yes I'm counting those cuz I just wear out so easily). I did my foam rolling and found one area in left shoulder blade and I was able to get that out but that darn levator scapula is bothering me still. stress will flare that up. I also looked up exercises for it, and I think some of the PT exercises for my shoulder is flaring it up, so not doing those everyday. I think the ext rotations are need and don't flare it up, but the delt raises (anterior delt, thumbs up), and front raise to overhead is bothering it I think. I'll have to try to stay in tune more to see when it hurts and what I just did. I'm slow at that sometimes. Dr said to move arms more, but I guess he didnt' mean boxing :eek:

Mary, I'm an overachiever! IF you tell me to jump, I'll jump as high as i can. Suki is a cutie isn't she? She is VERY attached to me, awe!

Murphy, sounds like you have a long road ahead, let's be an inspiration to each other. Oh, I went and bought me pink 2 lb dumbbells. Yea, never thought I'd be wanting 2lb dumbbells!
 
Hi all

Internet is driving me crazy today so I'll keep this short. Had a nice weekend. Enjoyed dinner with neighbours on Sat.
Finished the Sept rotation yesterday. Pleased I got it done.
Today did TBT LB plus SM segment 1.

Murphy - I'm amazed you're doing such tough workouts - you must be feeling pretty strong at the moment. I'm glad the treatment is going well for you. When you say surgery, do you mean a mastectomy or a lumpectomy? (Tell me it's none of my business, if you don't want to say.)
 
Ronne - we won't know if it is a lumpectomy or mastectomy until we know how much chemo shrunk the tumor. If it is enough then lumpectomy. If not, then mastectomy with reconstruction. My tumor was growing so they wanted to get it under control and shrink it and etc. before surgery. If I wanted a mastectomy they would have done that right away and then chemo and radiation but I want to preserve as much of "the original" that I can. :)

Hi all! PUB today. I'm hoping the new ounces come today or tomorrow! Murphy, so many decisions you had to make. So, in about 4 months they do another mammogram, then decide on the type of surgery? I'm willing that tumor to shrink down to nothing! Lisa, did you get anything good shopping? I haven't done that in so long! Do you get another massage today? Jody, have we lost you to a text book? Ronne, sounds like another perfect weekend! DD has to watch some old movies and write a paper on them for school. Yesterday we started My Fair Lady, not bad. Today it will be The African Queen, which I have never seen. I'm getting educated right with them! Have a good day! Mary
 
got links to downloads, VERY SLOW, so did LICh with little arms, I probably looked like a munchkin that didn't have normal length arms. No risers, hey, it was doable that way, hopefully doesn't bring on any more pain. I think it makes sense about too much arm (and big arm) movement hurting more since I couldn't get my hands up to wash my hair for 6 weeks after surgery. Oh, and 1.5 mile dog walk.

Mary, I go to massage tues afternoon, I have one spot that is driving me bonkers, about burned my skin putting hot rice bags on it (but finally tamed it down), my skin was so red in that area! You might be the first to do the new dvds :( I know mine won't come until tues, and not sure if downloads will ever finish. I didn't sleep well last night (hurting neck down top of shoulder), I had taken flexeril, I don't think it works that well, so dove into my valiuum and finally got some sleep. So I made appt with PCP to get them to prescribe me more valiuum, going to take bottle and make them give it to me (they always give out flexeril).

Murphy, I'm so sorry you are having to go thru this, hard when you don't know what the answer will be I'm sure. My mind would be going crazy. Take come cues from me on my recovery and how I ease back into the w/o's , it's going to be a long road, frankly I'd like off this path, but we are each given what we are meant to handle.

Ronne, my shopping trip resulted in 2 sets of winter pjs and slippers. I said as long as I feel like crap I'm wearing pjs during the day :)

Jody, we miss your wit, come back!

Roxie, how are you. was thinking maybe weight gain from not working, being a little down about your life's change? I'm such an emotional eater.
 
Good Morning,

Sorry for not checking in yesterday I had a dentist appt and then spent time with GS he is such a cutie. I did Xtrain Burn Sets CB&S, STS Med Ball Abs and 50 squats. I have another appt this morning at 8 to fix the last tooth that needs fixed at least it doesn't need a root canal. My new KCM showed up yesterday so I can't wait to preview it and hopefully my new Cathes will be here tomarrow.

Lisa-anyway you could get me Sue Graftons new book if not thats ok I will buy a gift card. My dentist office has a massage recliner and I used the Shiatsu setting it hit every target spot I had. My daughter suggested the same thing but I don't sit around and eat all day long.

Murphy-hoping its a lumpectomy.
