Chemo week- prechemo burst of activities -Instant Boob job-Bye Toto

Monday I recovered from the busy weekend doing nothing, since my energy levels were kind of low.

Tuesday bounced right back with a vengeance, I was determined to do a lot this week before Thursdays 3rd chemo session:

Tuesday:
Did the 5:45 am spin class, this time I was even able to break a sweat !!

Duration: 43:47
Average Heart Rate: 132
Maximum Heart Rate: 150
Time in Target Heart Rate zone ( 116-135):20 minutes

Later went to the Kundalini Yoga session at Altamonte. This is so different than the traditional Power Yoga I have been going to. There is a lot of breathing exercises that work with body movements to massage theinternal organs(at least thats what it feels like) and one exercise is 'belly laughing' where everyone has a laughing fit, well I found it so stupid that I actually broke into laughing histerically. They say laughter is a healer guess thats what we were doing, got a kick out of it.

The owner never claimed Toto(isnt this so sad) so Erin adopted him. We are already missing the little bouncey rascal !

Wednesday :

Did a walk and threw in a couple minutes jogs here and there. Finally we are back out there with Candy the Irondawg with a long run !

Distance : 4.5 miles - 16:10 min/mile
Duration: : 1:13:47
Average Heart Rate : 124
Maximum Heart Rate : 154
Time in Target Heart Rate zone ( 116-135): 55 minutes

Went to the plastic surgeon who finally was able to start the inflation of the expanders, it is really weird to see your boob swelling while you look at it. They injected 100 cc's saline in each breast. I am up to 250 ccs in each, I think they will go up to 400. Did not have any discomfort from the inflation or afterwards, just the regular feeling like wearing the heart rate monitor strap too tight.

I feel like a kid trying to cut school.. or a cat that is being dragged to a lake, I really do not want to go to chemo this thursday argghh.. I have heard that the 3rd one is hard cause you know how crappy you will feel and it is not the last one either. Just have to suck it up and do it. I will be hydrating like crazy today and take lots of good protein so I can recover quickly from the hit I will be getting tomorrow.
