I've been absent from fitnesspal for almost 2 years. I became quite ill in Feb. 2014 and after major surgery in Dec 2014 was diagnosed with Stage 4a Tonsil Cancer in February and I underwent 6 weeks of daily radiation treatments and 5 rounds of Chemo. I'm finally starting to feel better and embracing my new normal, so it's time to get back on track and try and be the best me I can be. I discovered today that the process will be slow (when I first got sick I was rowing for 1/2 hr. each day as well as 1/2 our on the stationary bike + an hour of strength training every other day.) Today I managed 5 minutes on the rowing machine ... I will try for another 5 this afternoon and 10 in one shot tomorrow.

I'm hoping we can all motivate each other to become healthier and stronger individuals ...
