A lot going on....

Everyday lately reminds me of what went on last year.  I thought about writing about all the important days, but then after hearing of Betty passing.....I felt it wasn't right.  I do need to move on - Betty made it clear that it was time to move on to more interesting things in my life.  I will continue to write about some important days- but only in a positive way.  I tend to get angry about some things that went on.

What I really need to work on is getting in shape....and not a round one!  

What's been going on?  I have 2 trainers I'm attempting to work with-


Heather to help me with weights/cardio and weight loss

I've joined a gym (that Heather operates out of) that is open from 5am Monday till 8pm Friday- Yahooo....if only I had the energy to take advantage of these awesome hours.  I've been going to bed early!  I used to be able to stay up late and get up early!

So far I have some of my upper body exercises and have decided that I will do 420cal burning cardio/day- 5xWeek!  Oooo that's a lot.
I will be consuming 1000 calories a day - unless I don't feel well doing that- then I will increase them.
I'm at 40% body fat- this is real bad!  Muscle pretty much no where.
I have a goal weight of 110 or a dress size of 2-4
My weight is 140 right now- YIKES
My 1st weigh-in is next Wednesday Oct 6th....I'm a little nervous- my trainer is a little on the tough side!
My appointments with Heather are 2x week for 30min- then I have to get there the rest of the time and do my routines.

Kathy to train me on the Pilates apparatus so I will be ready to attend a class on a weekly basis
Kathy gives me homework to do every day!  This is hard at times
I meet with Kathy 1xWeek for 1 hour

These 2 things should benefit each other- the weight lifting bulks up muscles and the Pilates stretches them out.

This will take a lot of work on top of everything else- but I have to take care of my health so I have the energy to all the things I wasn't doing before all this stuff.  I really hope I can do it.

  …BELIEVE that you CAN


know that YOU WILL…

…and PURSUE with EVERYTHING you are!

Health news-
I have my period-yuk! After all that crap you would think I could be done with it.  I guess when you go through menopause you can still get a period, but this in now the 2nd one.  I really shouldn't be getting them because my Tamoxifen is suppose to be preventing estrogen (which made my tumor grow). So I hope this isn't a sign that the Tamoxifen isn't working.  Not that if it wasn't working I would get cancer again, but it does cross my mind.  The Tamoxifen is an extra preventative measure- I must remember that.   I will definately be calling my doctor about it tomorrow- because maybe there is something else I can do to get rid of this estrogen crap...lol.  and my periods
