Weight Training

So, as I said in another blog, I am back at the gym.  I had a weight trainer set me up with a new routine along with 30 mins of cardio.  Oh, man......  I am now doing everything I was doing before, added 3 weight machines, increased my reps to 15, and reduced the weight, just a little.  And sllllooooowww....up, 1, 2, hold, down, 1, 2.  Eek!  That was a tuff workout, but I feel great!  And, I have already lost 2 lbs.  Yeh, I know, guys can take it off in a few days with little effort.  But, we women have to try harder!  It's just a fact of life.  Now, the question

Titles are a Pain

I went to the gym yesterday and worked with a weight trainer.  Cool!  She helped me adjust some of my settings and weights, and showed me a few things i hadn't done before.  For the next 6 weeks i need to cut back on the weight (hard to do, the no pain no gain attitude), and increase my reps.  Work on endurance, then after that I can go back to the heavier weights.  And I need to do 30 mins of cardio, not a problem.  Oh, she showed me this one machine that works on abs.  Ouch!  I'm such a wimp....  Well, who likes to do situps, crunches and such?  Well, i need a lot of work there, so i will do

Busy Day

What a day I had yesterday!  Whew!  I was up at 6:00 and my 4 year old grandson, Adtler, arrived at 6:30 for a 2 day stay.  He watched PBS Kids while I chatted with a friend for waaaay too long.   Time to get busy.  Took down the Christmas tree (finally!) and packed everything away in boxes and hauled them out to the shed.  Had to do some clan/recruitment stuff, so back to my laptop.  Sent some emails, read all the sooo interesting posts on this website, made some of my own, OMG, it's lunch time already!

Twas The Month After Christmas

Twas the month after Christmas and all through the house

Nothing would fit me, not even a blouse.

The cookies I’d nibble, the eggnog I’d taste.

All the holiday parties had gone to my waist.

Tough Day

How can there be so many people with cancer in the world?  They keep coming, and coming.  You would think the holiday season would be slow.  A few of the docs are gone until after the 1st of the year.  I guess that doesn't mean the patients don't get treated.  Today I had 2 new patients.  That's a lot of work cuz they are scared, newly diagnosed, and you have to do patient teaching so they know what's going on.  The doctors actually tell them very little.  One of them was crying throughout the entire chemo, the other was sleeping and just didn't want to know......  And then there were my 10 or
