  • Nup. You can make goals anytime, why wait until the end of the year? This year I hope to finish immunotherapy after a long bout of chemo and be as fit in a bad *kitten* way than ever before . I have already started that plan; I will do a spartan and find a tuff mudder group to raise money for cancer despite being “old”.…

  • Hi! I try to reduce bread in my day because I love it too much! So for lunches, I have to be a bit organised: rivita biscuits (wrapped seperate), with a mini container of cottage cheese for low fat, or mashed egg for protein that I put in a lunch container of things like lettuce, spinich leaves, sliced cucumber, tomato,…

  • Yr normal for a girl in ur position. U will put on weight over time even if you are as careful about diet as I am and try to work out as often as u can which u should try to do, trust me it will help u mind and body. Reasons for this weight gain is estrogen loss due to the surgery and during chemo they give u a non…

  • People above were talking about companies such as Monsanto and genetic ownership, that's all Iwas responding to about that Mangrothian
  • Agreed! Tough mudda and spartan for me! My next challenge
  • My oncologist on the subject of exercise recommended that I should walk occasionally haaaaa! I told him I do that every day just getting to work, then showed him my Garmin! I reckon we know our bodies best. I think if we do our own thing we'll still be walking upright and opening our own jars
  • Ageism is a thing. Often I go to casual group fitness and I am pointed to light weights, exercises modifications..... then I beast it! I notice in these classes too that the youngsters are always with varied injuries, more than I ever get. I do love that I am fitter and stronger than our students in their 20s, although at…
  • I find it staggering that people are willing to pop pills, imbibe, use nasal delivery sprays, patches, be injected intramuscular, intravenously or be transfused to deliver a vast array of medications to treat many diseases and illnesses ALL of which are GMOs derived from plant, animal, bacterial, viral,synthetic…
  • I lost 25 kilos 3 years ago and am still stable, also lean and fit. I simply did two things; made food and exercise a life style and included advice people lived by in the "olden days". My top tips for exercise include: walk everywhere you can use stairs etc do intentional exercise at very minimum 3 times a week Include a…
  • Oooooo I know a little. Among other nasty side effects chemo makes you immune compromised and one of the chemo drugs triggers auto immune responses. The drugs to counter these ply stacks of weight on despite being careful with diet and exercise. As an aside I resolve protein structures for drug targets focused on cancer,…
  • BabyBear's suggestion is what I do for cancer drugs which put on weight and chemo which weakens and knocks you out. That combo with HIIT, weights and a bit of interval running works a treat. For the weights though I either go short, heavy and hard say 30 mins a few times a week or focus longer and break it up into…
  • How about a phone app for eg. PT in your pocket which is a HIIT style that I have found good while away. There's loads of things like that, a lot of free ones too.
