It’s been a while since I’ve posted much of anything. Fell off the work out wagon this week – just wasn’t sleeping well at all, let my mind get the best of me and let myself wallow a bit. Usually I pull myself out of these funks in a day or so but for some reason this funk lasted a few days longer. In hindsight the time I could have been at the gym this week (3 of 4 mornings) weren’t completely unproductive. I did finish a brand new 350+ page book which helped me escape my mind quite a bit. Should have read a happy book instead of a heart wrenching one but it was a really good, fast reading book for me – so it’s still worth something!

My 5th chemo was yesterday so today I declared that I have to stand back up, get back on the horse, the wagon, whatever you want to call it and give my body the exercise it needs to stay strong.  To that end I got myself out of bed and onto the treadmill this morning and walked a good walk of 1 mile with the majority of it at a 12% grade. Got my heart rate up nicely and kept it there for a while which is fantastic.

Fall down 10 times. Stand up 11.

Report out for the day: Standing strong.
