@HappyDonkey75 There have been periods of my career I have felt exactly the same. We see people do the bare minimum or worse with no consequences while we carry the load and get maybe a pat on the back. It's demoralizing but we do get through it. I'm with you in spirit. Wish I were near you, I'd go for a paddle any day!…

@HappyDonkey75 I hear ya on the protein. Some days I love it in my coffee and other days I don't even want to think about it. But I have to keep getting it in somewhere to keep from losing muscle mass. It's been so humid I have no desire to work out at all. Also not a good mindset. Work was rotten Monday, with me wanting…

Scale holding steady at 170 past few days. Bloodwork this was better than expected this week. Bone marrow biopsy this week I think. I want to add some activity back into my routine yet still not overdo it. Today would be a nice day to kayak but have to talk hubby into it.

168.5 yesterday and today, I'm ok with that. Would really like to keep it steady. No other news to report. 3 redtail hawks in my yard are keeping me entertained this week. Hubby made a nice steak Monday and we made a salad from the leftovers. Either pork stir fry or chicken thighs for dinner tonight.

Hi Folks! This last chemo did not do it's job so next step is a clinical trial. At least I got to come home Thursday. I lost 7 lbs in the hospital but have gained 2 back. 170 is comfortable but not happy how I got here. The hospital food was carb heavy and I didn't eat much those last 3 days. Back home I have my full…

More water weight off-happy!!! Heartburn yesterday-not happy. Much better today. @MercyRoth heat and humidity make it hard to even WANT to work out. @Kupla71 HIIT is ambitious, good for you for trying! @HappyDonkey75 sleep is a wonderful thing :)

Weight from fluids is coming off and I can see my ankles again LOL. Also I started ordering less food while in the hosp. They offer way too much so I'm choosing carefully since I'm only getting in mini walks for about a mile a day.

Well the few days inpatient I was expecting was a miscommunication, I'll be here 4 weeks for treatment to put me in remission long enough for upcoming stem cell transplant. I processed the change and moved forward. However, being on continuous fluids has me up 10 lbs since Sat! I know it will come off but geez! Still feel…

7/01 175.0 7/02 174.5 I came home from camping without a big gain this time Woohoo!!! Hubby kept asking for lighter meals and we did pretty well. I've been trying to do more low carb again recently and found some keto thin bagel slices. They made great breakfast sandwiches. Chicken stir fry tonight for the weekly dinner…

Really disappointed this group fell apart. I still check in now and then but not as often as I used to. Maybe some new folks will keep it active.
