Back leading the 5:45 am cycle class.

Last night the aerobics coordinator called and asked whether I would like to take the Tuesday morning 5:45 am class back and that she would be my permanent sub if I needed to take off for any reason. She has been really nice in accomodating me for the past couple of months, told her that I would gladly take it back and would call her if I did not feel up to teaching at any point. It was a great class this morning and I was really happy to be back with all the early morning cyclists ! I just have to make sure that I challenge them enough because I can not gauge the intensity accurately from my own effort level.( my only challenge was to find a top that fit since all my old ones are feeling really tight with the expanders now ;o) )

I had a lot of fun stuff going on this weekend went on an easy 33 mile ride with the slower bike gals 'The Flamingos' then went to the christmas party for the fast rider gals which I used to ride with (Bobbies.. babes on bikes) gals on Sunday- won a pump at the raffle ! I really needed a new pump because my old one requires a lot of effort and my chest muscles were kind of talking back every time I try to hit 110psi. Friday evening went to a xmas party for my rowing club and it was great to see the scullers since I have not been out on the water for 4 months now almost.
.
The lake Fairview water is so contaminated that I am scared that if I take a spill I will catch some weird bacteria so no rowing until I am out of chemo.
.
Today we are heading off to St. Pete to see another surgeon to get an opinion on whether I should be getting further surgery to remove more lymph nodes ( since 2 out of the 6 lymph nodes in the sentinel node biop had tested positive but were relatively small - .2mm and 2 mm)
.
I am having major mood swings but I now know that no matter how bad they are I will swing out of them, so I just keep low and do not bite anyone during those times. I guess I have hit the chemopause since I also seem to be getting 'head sweats' especially at night. It is a weird feeling and I am glad that I am bald !
.
Started reading the book 'Meditation as Medicine' which my father had given me a couple of months ago, because I intend to work on the mind-body connection to ward off this C to get a foot hold again.( I thought I was previously doing everything else that was suggested this is the only piece that was missing)
.
Little did I know that this book was about Kundalini Yoga which I am definitely becoming addicted to.. well.. signs are pointing towards this from different sources, so I guess I will pursue this path. I have heard that the Tuesday evening one is the real good session ( plus they have soup after the session !!)will try to hit that one next week.
