a, I hope today is better for you. I agree with you that everything

seems different. Stay away from the stores. Spend more time with your

family, friends and pets. They will remind you that you have meaning and

are very important to them. You are important to me as is everyone on this

list and I have never met any of you.

Thanks Beth. I don't have a lot of family to stay close to, but I do try

with my mom and with my father occasionally and with my brother by phone. I

have been trying to contact my nieces and nephews too. Of course, I always

stay close to corky. It is feeling pretty lonely right now though and my

mom is going away for another ten days on Friday so it will be even worse.

I think I am getting a cold. I am staying away from too much tv but I

cannot ignore the news completely. So far tonight I only watched the local

news and the national news and cnn for only five minutes. Then I came in

here to see who was online. I am still having trouble concentrating for

very long. But I am hanging in there. And this morning my weight was down

2.5 lbs. that's called a whoosh. But I will be up tomorrow as I ate

chinese for lunch and watermelon tonight for dessert. It tasted great, much

better than those bars I have been eating. I may turn to fruit for evening

snacks. What's the time frame Norma?

Wow, you are brave to try an aerobics class. That is my goal to try an

aerobics class. It will be a long while, even though I walk for 45 minutes,

I don't really work up a sweat or anything. Plus I am the MOST

uncoordinated person you ever met and a leftie to boot so I can't learn

squat.

Good for you, a. I'll bet corky enjoyed that walk too. Just bring

a plastic grocery sack to put the " baggie " in. Easier to carry and no

one will know what is in it.

I walked 20 minutes on treadmill this am. It is now pouring down rain

so no track tonight. I am going to try an aerobics class in the

morning...probably won't be able to move for a week...LOL. Joanne

Looks like we have a lot in common. I am also uncoordinated and a

leftie. I don't like to work up a sweat, but know that if I do, it

usually means I am getting some benefit from it. I'll let you know

how it went. Joanne

Take a moment and take a deep breath. And breath in that hug.

tell me more about these bacon snacks beth. YOu cook the bacon and then

freeze it? then what do you do with it when you take it out? Or you just

keep it in the freezer and take it out and cook it?

-- Re: a

Good for you a! Trust me--making egg salad is cooking. I cook in

batches on the weekend to make sure I have food for the week.

My emergency food is bacon. I always have a couple of packages in the

freezer ready at a moments notice. I wrap each slice around a chunk of

cream cheese. This combination of protein and fat saves me every time.

These get me through when I have nothing else or need time to fix

something. I call them bacon snacks.

Beth

I agree Beth. Cooking is the key for me. If I'm not doing it, then

chances

are I'm heading for a cheat. RIght now I am eating egg salad that I made

over the weekend, instead of walking in the house starving with nothing to

eat. It's not really cooking per se but it helps.

Dianne,

I just tried to make an online donation. Got through all the fields

including my credit card number and on the final screen it said it could not

find the server. this happened to me once before when I was buying Norton

online and it did take my money. Do you get notified whenever someone

contributes? I won't be able to tell for a few days if it took my money or

not. It wasn't a huge donation, but my dream is for AC to sponsor $500, or

25 percent, of your walk. What do you say ladies? We have our very own

marathoner in our midst.

a

-- a

Ohhhh Yippppiiii

a is going for a walk.

It is cold and sunny here.

I hate the early darkness too a and

we reset our clocks tonite.... right ?

I am off to walk, trying for 4 - 6 miles and then

over to be with Terri and Jan for a while.

Sorry about your back. I have had a " neck thing "

going on the past two weeks. :-((

My mom is doing pretty good right now...Thanks for asking.

I have to call about the gym. It is in our local Hospital and I

have to check it out.

TTYL (literally) if I can dig up you # LOL

How did you do at your Dad's dinner party?

Beth

[Guest guest]

Well I didn't do too well Beth. Thanks for asking. I ate potatoes and

crackers and pie. But it wouldn't have been disasterous if I had contained

it to just that meal. I have been eating mega carbs ever since. So I am

once again going through the holidays feeling like crap from all the carbs.

It's so not worth it and yet I still do it every year.

How are you doing?

Are you eating enough protein and fat to fight those cravings? How about

l-glutamine. That always helps me. I'm sorry you are having such a hard

time.

I cheated at my department lunch yesterday. I had two really sweet drinks.

Don't tell Dianne I had her favorite. I also had some eggnog. I'm back on

the wagon today. I have been eating a lot of legal treats lately. I'm

addicted to those pumpkin bars that someone posted a while back. My sweet

tooth has been over active. I was good at lunch today. I went with some

people from work. They make homemade milk shakes at this restaurant.

Mmmmmmmmmmm. I didn't get one. My company party is tomorrow. I'm not sure

what to expect in terms of food. The party starts at 4pm. I plan to eat

plenty of protein before I go.

HI a...thank you for your informative posts!!!I have been

learning and am still a student on how important food/exercise is to

fight this bully...i see myself with boxing gloves on and the only

thing in my arsenal is enough sleep, organic foods, exercise and no

stress!!! Yes people should understand what chemo does to your

system not just be in the dark and do what the doctors say..It is a

poisen although sometimes a necessary evil to combat this disease..

but i have found that the doctors dont mention the importance of

nutrition and diet!! I have gone to a nutritionist who has explained

to me in detail the importance of food in this battle...and

especially for those who are enduring chemo which is annhilating

your immune system so you need to do your part with what you eat ie.

immune boosters ( proven ones!!) I have been taking peak4 which ive

researched and seems to be one of the best ones out there. Also

watch out for meat girls..try to stay away from red meat or buy

organic...its unreal how much your nutrition plays a part in

combating bc. You have to keep your natural killers up to par these

are the cells that fight off stuff in your body ie. cancer.and other

problems that your body produces naturally but are weakened cuz of

stress, not a proper diet, drinking alcohol to much, smoking and

environmental situations...to name a few...

I have never been a person to buy any gimics or slogans on stuff i

always beleived they were out to make the mighty dollar!!I do

believe wholeheartedly in the immune boosters and watch what you eat

after extensive research and asking many a question to doctors and

holistic doctors as well.

A warm hug to all of you going thru this hard time in your life and

prayers to all....We must help each other and stand by whatever

decision has been made regarding what kind of treatment is best..may

each persons choice be the right one and may God be with you

all..take care ...Kassy
