W3, D4 Results!

[Guest guest]

Hi guys,

This week has been totally interesting around my workouts. We have become

flexible. I didn't have time to get my cardio in on Saturday *sigh...long

story* So Sunday a 9 p.m.. I said, I am going to get this in so I got on the

lifecycle and road for 24 minutes, I could only do level 2 and it was really

hard....but I did it! This is where a 10 for one person isn't a 10 for

another (LOL)

I also decided that I was going to do the HIIT program instead of walking.

This has left me between a rock and a hard place as I need to be walking to

get ready for the Komen 3Day in Chicago August 26-29....

Yesterday I met with my dr. and I have lost 4lbs.on her scale and she was

quite pleased. I also lost 9lbs of body fat since beginning the BFL

program! Hooray. She is concerned about me lifting since I had the lymph

node dissection, she is concerned about lymphdemia. So I need to watch for

swelling in my left arm. That is one of the things that stinks about bc.

You want to do things that are healthy and keep being reminded of what

happened. So, I will keep watch. So far, no problems. I think the fact

that I didn't start out lifting 25 lbs...I started with 2.5...and you

gradually increase will make a big difference. She also told me to quit the

HIIT and walk every day. She said I need to be able to walk 10 miles in one

day within the next week to get ready for this event. So, I guess I will be

walking. I can wear my heart rate monitor to make sure my heart rate is in

the fat burning zone.

In the chemo room the nurse asked if I had lost weight, she said I was

looking really good and to keep it up! This is amazing since I have only

been on the program 3 weeks and you know how I blew the diet last week!

This week I am being more intentional around what I am putting in my mouth.

Yesterday I had a really rough time after chemo. I just wanted to eat, eat,

eat sweets. On of the premeds I am on is Decadron and that is a steroid.

It works great to combat the side effects of Taxol, but it also is an

appetite stimulant. I combated this " frenzy " by eating 2 Tbls. raisins, 9

choc chips, and 1 square of Frango mint. I think I did pretty well....since

I had a frozen snickers in the freezer calling my name!

I am going through allergy elimination for dairy and it is going quite well.

My homeopathic dr. said I could do one scoop of Precision Protein a day, but

no myoplex. My new treat is the Chai Tea from the Eating for Life book. I

mix it with skim milk. It is a great snack! Total indulgence without the

guilt! I hope to get up to more scoops of PP in the future. That would

make life a lot simpler!

OK folks,

On to lifting. Today is legs...tomorrow is upper body...I told you this

week was messed up!!!LOL
