Starting jog/walking & went to the golf range

Activities:

Sunday:

2 hours at the golf range, it is definitely a very meditative activity ( can not think of anything else), I thought we were there for about an hour and then realized that I had been trying to whack the ball off the ground towards the flag for close to 2 hours.
No wonder Ferit was checking out with the pro about lessons, he surely is very patient but I am seriously doubting my golf ability, losing the T, or slamming it into the ground.. sometimes breaking it.

If you look at my picture I look more like dusting a rug with a racket, rather than driving a golf ball.




Surprisingly I was wiped out after this.. yes.. and took a 2 hour nap afterwards.

Monday:

I decided to give the jog/walk a try. Did 2 minute jog at 12 min/mile and 1 minute walk at 2.8 mph.Watching 'Tim the Toolman' made time pass quickly, there was barely anyone at the gym at 12 pm.

Here are my stats.

Distance: 3 miles on the dreadmill with 1% incline.
Time: about 43 minutes
Calories: 372
Heart rate average :155
Heart Rate maximum: 175

The heart rate was pretty high but my legs felt really good ( naturally from a major taper since end of August) I am hoping that I will eventually be able to bring the heart rate down to a reasonable number.

Had to take a 1+ hour nap again later, I think I am kind of getting the hang of what my body needs while undergoing treatment.

This Thursday is my next chemo session lets see how I will react this time.

Today I also realized that when managing my 'unwanted hair' the roots were kind of sluggish, guess the mohawk cut that my daughter is looking forward to is coming near. I am expecting it by this weekend.

Other stuff:


Other than that I am gravitating towards the kitchen in my spare time, I am not sure this is such a great idea since the last time I was this involved in baking was 10 years ago and I was about 40 pounds heavier. But my deserts are just 'scrumptious' !!! ;o) Today I am trying out a new marble cake recipe. Yesterday I had baked a strawberry cream tart which was sinful but delicious which we took to my sisinlaw where we had an excellent dinner (as usual !)

Aylin,

I think that you are going to be such a great inspiration to so many people. You have such a positive attitude and others will pick up on it and enjoy every day as it comes. Cindy
