Oh, dear. I forgot something.

I am not a big fan of exercise tapes. Tried them before and really couldn't get interested. Also, we live in a second-floor apartment, so want to avoid stamping on my neighbor's head.

I will walk, and hike in season, and will get out my bike in a month or so. While I love the elliptical and the pool, it's 50$ I can use for medication.

-sigh-

If you do muscle toning, you wont be bouncing around or making noise. And it does burn calories. All it takes is a pair of light weights, or a towel, or a couple of cans of soup. No excuses...

Hugs, Karen...

I was at the YMCA for five years, and there is one two blocks away. I left to get more pool time, and because the new gym was cheaper. I like to do deep water aerobics to help combat the fibro pain and fatigue. Our Y is very tightly scheduled and there was very little pool time.

We do have a Planet Fitness. I might look into that. They do not have a pool, but do have ellipticals.

I plan to ask BF tomorrow if we can drag over my Mom's ellipti-bike. It would have to go into the attic, where bf has his winter bike trainer set up.

I am working very hard to not beat myself up over past mistakes and choices. Work on the now.

Thanks JB!!

Good Afternoon/Evening .........

   Excercise seems to be the subject.

   Coincidentally, today I tried a weekly excercise session at the Wellness Place - a local cancer center that's supported by donations - so it's free to cancer patients.

   It doesn't work for me though. I observed the hour session and talked to the instructor. No one there has Advanced Prostate Cancer - which is a lot different than Prostate Cancer. And they have no excercise equipment beyond small weights.

   When the instructor asked me - and I told her I've been on HT for over three years and chemo for two years (and I forgot to tell her about the two years of Prednisone which is a muscle killer) .... she showed me one simple excercise I could do at home for my legs.

   The excercises they were doing were way beyond the capabilities of anyone with my medical record.

   There is a junior college very close by though that I heard has exercise equipment - and it's very reasonable in cost ... next one to check out!

Hey Happy Bean ....... did I really scare you by replying to one of your threads? No - come on!!!! didn't mean to!!!!!

Rob & Gizmo

Boy do I have a taste for a piece of blueberry pie - sure do need to excercise!

Hello all,

Rob- Exericse is always a good thing even it is just walking around the house. I know that chemo is hard on the body and so is a steroid for that matter so take it nice and slow.

A/V- How did it go with the lawyer? I hope that everything turns out for the best for tou. Stay strong.

HB- I am glad that you got to reconnect and share your feelings that is always a goodthing.

Karen- I have done the soup cans and it does help a lot and I do not have to pay a membership fee, nice suggestion.

Myself- I hope you get the bike so you can exercise at least that way.

Well I am feeling better today, I got out and did a couple things.
Dad has bad cold again. Poor guy.
Aunt went to doc and has mild bug, nothing to worry over.

I have been having dry eyes and back headaches the past few days, the air is so clean here from our rain that I hope its not allergies again.

Well I am going to kick back for the night. Stay warm and strong everyone.

Well, legal aid says they can't help me unless he was physically abusive. I found a lawyer willing to look at the papers and advise me for free. I explained my financial situation and he's still willing to help. I see him in the morning.

I have found out the hard way that I'm suddenly allergic to bananas. Between hives, extreme nausea, stomach cramping, and the jaw soreness I'm feeling kind of yucky.

The soon to be ex texted me that one if the cats threw up. I replied with What do you expect me to do about that?! So ridiculous. I'm going over while he's at work tomorrow to collect more of my stuff. Missing my kids and my kitties tonight. Cade slammed his fingers in a car door. It is very swollen. I met them at the er. He dislocated two fingers at the major joint. Poor guy.

A/V- I am glad that you found someone to help you. Thats good news for sure.
I am sorry that you are missing the kids and the kitties. Is there any way to bring the cats to your new place? I know thay for now the kids have to with dad though.
I am sorry to hear about Cade dislocating his finger, poor boo.

I cant believe thay he would text you about the cat being sick. What a boob! He wanted you to leave so he can deal with it! Lol Im sorry but this guy is funny in a way.

Stay strong and keep posting.

Well, the weathermen were wrong. 16 inches when we woke up, and meant to continue through the rest of the day. They predicted 8-12 for Central MD. I drive a Honda Civic, and I currently cannot see it in the parking lot.

A nice day to study for Praxis, make Rogan Josh lamb, take a walk, clear off the cars at least, and watch Netflix.

Glad you got some cool things to do today. My day will be going to town again. So much fun, NOT...

Have a good day all...

Hugs, Karen...

Me, too, JB. We have had 8 snow days so far. It has taken a bite out of my pocket.

Good morning ..........

   It's a bright and sunny 19 degrees out at 8am ... but no dogs out there for some reason. It is supposed to rain today after it gets into the 30's - but no sign of it yet.

   Myself and JB1 ....... everyone is sick of this s**t! Is this going to be a record-setting Winter in MD or in NY .... like it is here? Little consolation - if so!

   There must be decent weather coming your way in a couple of days. What is in the midwest usually becomes what will be on the eastern coast - and we're supposed to get into the 30's today. First time - maybe - even this year!

   AV ....... good luck with the attorney.

   MissJD ...... do you really know what "stay warm" is? (just kiddin)!

Note ..... why does coffee taste so good in the winter?

Gizmo Note ....... the little stinker is getting worse when I'm on the phone. Last night, while on the phone, he snuck into a huge paper bag on a chair in my kitchen ... then took out a new box of Spiriva, ripped the box open and destroyed the inhaler. Nearly all of the foil-packs are in tact and found - so not too much harm done. I guess he needs more attention!!!!!

A support group meeting this morning - can finally go to one of those without layered outer clothing!

Enjoy something tody!

Rob & Gizmo

Morning all,

Rob- Lol maybe not your kind of stay warm cuz I have been in the cold weather like you are. But stay warm anyways! Glad the weather is looking up for you though.
The Gizmo note: the little toad! Sounds like he maybe getting a little doggie withdrawal from not doggies this winter. Poor little guy.
Glad that your group is this morning, I know those help you.


I am gonna take my son to school pretty soon and then come home to nap, this mama has been run down the past few days. So I will be back on after I wake up.
No school tomorrow or Monday for the kids out here so extra long weekend for us, yay!

Well gotta get going, talk to everyone later, have a good day and stay warm.

Hi All-

So I am feeling under the weather, but I am at work. A stomach bug has been going through my house and apparently, it is my turn.

Day three of no Risperdall. Not sleeping well. He prescribed sleeping pills and I haven't picked them up yet. I will get them today.

I hope everyone has a wonderful day.

The meeting with the lawyer went okay. He says it shouldn't be difficult to get what I want. I want a detailed breakdown of possession distribution. I want what is fair, I don't want to punish him or anything. The only problem is this lawyer wants 400 dollars. I just can't get that. I only have 480 a month and 145 of next months is already earmarked. He did say he would file a response for free. He says it's possible we can settle this through mediation and I won't need a lawyer.

I'm sorry for all the sick people. It really seems to be going around. My grandmother isn't feeling well today, either. Hope you all gets lots of rest.

It's finally getting warmer here. We should be above freezing tomorrow. Also, we will be in the 60s by late next week. I am so ready! Well, I'm going to lie down and read for a bit. My mouth is still hurting a bit. Maybe I can grab a short nap.

Hi Rob! Sorry, my words were written in the wrong order, of course your post to a post I made, did not scare me :)

I was trying to say thank you for replying to a post I made, and that one of my posts was about 'a scare' of sorts, if that makes any more sense :) Hope you are having a good day. Thank you Miss JD for your kind words.
