It’s been hard for me to lose the extra weight I’ve gained and hard for me to feel even remotely healthy on the back side of having cancer. It’s hard to go shopping even. Altho it isn’t one of my favorite pastimes but it would be nice to be able to go through the store without my legs killing me, from my hips on down to my heels. It would even be nice to not have a hot flash every time I exert even a little energy.
So I started going to a gym tonight at the urging of a friend. I’m not doing much, just using the treadmill but I’ve read that one of the best things you can do is walk. So I walked for 20 minutes tonight. At this point, I don’t even care if I lose the weight, I just want my body to feel healthy again. Hopefully in a month or so I’ll be able to walk for an hour without my legs feeling like they’re going to give out on me. And maybe, if I’m really lucky, I can minimize these hot flashes and night sweats.
