It's been awhile since I blogged. I've been feeling well and life is busy. I have booked up every week end in July and into August as well. I'm making up for 3 lost summers. Those were summers that I was struggling to survive and not really living. '
I'm fat. The injury, surgeries, cancer drugs etc. etc. After three years of not being able to work out property or even engage in life in any sort of real way I am left with too much fat, not enough energy and a bit of a road ahead of me to get back my "pizzazz".
On July 4th I joined Weight Watchers. I have fitness goals, in addition to weight loss goals. 33 pounds. Cancer has taught me how to keep going in spite of how difficult it is, or how impossible it seems. That 33 pounds is a foregone conclusion as far as I am concerned. I'll succeed. I expect it to take the better part of a year, however. I have to do it safely, without compromising my treatment/immune systems.
Currently I am swimming 1 miles 5X a week and going on 2 bike rides per week. A mile in the water feels like a long way. I am a slow swimming. It takes me an hour. It does feel good though! Bike rides? Easy.
So, there is is. New beginnings for me. In a year I will edit this blog post to include before and after pics.
