Today I made a great deal of progress-I actually went on my first long-ish walk, and feel pretty good about it! Certainly, I feel like I have more energy than before…I am even thinking of going out for a short cycle as well! I have to get back to exercising and generally getting the weight off that I put on during chemo-not an easy task, but achievable…just need the willpower to do it. Once the chemo side effects have worn off properly, it will make exercising a lot easier. This, together with a balanced diet, should get me the rsults I want. And also, once the weather cools down a little more, I have the doggie to walk too. So muc exercise without the expense of the gym! Yay!
OK, off to cycle! See ya’all later!

Hello, All!
I have just finished the heavy rounds of chemo for Breast Cancer- I was diagnosed in February, and have been going for treatment ever since- have put on weight over the period of time of the chemo and now need to lose it again. I haven’t been able to exercise much of late, but plan to get back into that as soon as the last of the side effects of the chemo are gone.  it wilol be a long haul, but I think I am up for it! *s* The weight should, in theory, drop off now, but I have yet to be convinced! weight loss is never easy!
That’s me, will write more later!

..It appears that the most this new therapy is doing to me is to make me a little tired…and i did a whole lot of ironing today… I am thinking of doing some treadmill too, but too hot at the moment! Either way, I think 3 hrs. ironing is plenty activity enough for one day, coupled with other housework!!! I enjoy exercise, and the last lot of chemo kinda put the brakes on rather a lot, so have to start again!

Diet-wise, I appear to have lost some weight, although truth to be told, my clothes feel looser anyway. but then I know that it isn’t just the scales that measures your loss.  I feel better in myself even if I am not moving around as much, but am making a serious attempt to work out a little more!

Other than that, the summer here has brought with it lots of yummy cool fruit like water melon and such like, which, with a small amount of cheese, makes a lovely, light and healthy supper! Yay for fruit!

So, with that in mind, onwards and forwards we go-Let’s get this thing on the road!

Now, doesn’t that image just make you want a nice, crunchy piece of toast? 

I am working shifts again, so the diet is, to some degree, gone to pot…The New Year, though, makes it a time to make a new start-to get  my head back together on diet mode and lose those excess kilos I have put on due to weight gain post- op.  The shifts don’t help, but I have done it before and I can do it again…I see no reason why I can’t lose the three kilos I have gained over the last months and lose what I have left to lose as well…All I need is willpower!

Just a short post- need to get ready for work!

will write more later!

Big hugs,

Hello, all…
Really happy with weight loss today- I am back down to 79 kilos, which is the best I have been for ages…How much is due to the fact that I have rampant sinusitis and can’t eat much I don’t know, but I am still happy that it has shifted!
I am eating a lot of soup at the mo, it is the only thing I can get down, my teeth hurt and my whole face hurts-I just hope it doesn’t turn into anything nasty like last time when I wound up with pneumonia for my pains! Too early for antibiotics, but not a good herald for the rest of the winter!
I am going to have a hot bath and then go to bed to try and sleep it off…Let’s hope it passes a little by tomorrow….

Write more soon!
Big hugs,

..making some progress back to losing the excess weight I put on after the op….I am back down to 80 kilos, which is a landmark for me, especially as I went back up to 82.5 kilos at one stage…Now, I hope I can keep it up and get back down to what I was before the op…The fact that I am perimenopausal doesn’t help either…Bloat is a major part of my life of late, and I am not feeling at my best…but I think I will be ok! Now that I am back on track, I feel more confident than I have done for a while…let’s hope it is the start of the end of putting on weight!!!

It’s getting hot here now, the summer is really kicking in…I have put on the air conditioning for the first time yesterday post- night shift, it was too hot to sleep during the day without it and I needed to sleep.! The heat is also playing havoc with my diet- I really don’t feel like eating when it is this hot, but if I don’t I know that it will play havoc with my metabolism, and then I will be back again where I started. I have hit a plateau again, but hopefully I can break it this time- I feel pretty confident that I can make it- it just needs a good push from the pont of view of not getting tired of the diet, and just plodding on until I get the results I want. I have done it before, and can do it again- I just need to put my mind to it!!!
Will write more soon!
Big hugs,

to all of you out there!!! It’s been ages since I wrote anything here….I almost forgot I had this blog!!!

Lots of things have happened since I last wrote-the most important was that I have had a partial hysterectomy about two and a half months ago- the result of a bungling doctor ages ago when I had my first kid…caused a womb prolapse for me and never even told me about it!!! Not a problem tho- two very dashing gynaes put the record straight for me at the hospital where I work, and now I am 200%  fit!! Boy, I LOVE those guys!!! One of them even chants at church- he has a wonderful voice!

I put on a few kilos after the op, but I am slowly losing them again- I hope I can carry on the trend and go back to where I was…so it’s back to shifting those calories again! A couple of cycles should do it for me, and Gerry is going with me, so…here goes!!!! I hope that it will help and get off those excess kilos!!! I have a menu planned already, so I am up to speed and raring to go!!! Will post progress soon!

Until then,

Big hugs,

Well, actually it’s good night here in sunny Cyprus, but no matter!

The fact is, I have reached a landmark!

I am finally below 79 kilos, 78.6 to be precise! This is great news for me, and, although I may have put on a few grams overnight, that’a how it feels, I may be wrong in the morning, I still feel better for it! I actually went out to the beach today-sun allergy and all, to celebrate!! Nope- not quite bikini body yet, but I feel less inclined to regard myself as a beached whale now! More like a beached dolphin!!!!

Still, off to cook, see ya’all soon!

hugs,

This taggie is sooo cute!!!!

Well, I have reached a landmark, at least in theory…I am back at 80 kilos after two cheat days-so I haven’t actually put on much at all-now I have to concentrate this week on losing that extra kilo and really reaching a landmark! I was down to 78 point something before Easter intervened and the diet went walkabouts…but I am now more than ever determined to lose the wieght, so here goes…off to create the next menu!!

See ya’all soon!

Hugs,
