I've been busy again so haven't had time to pause and note anything here. I see that this will only just scrape in for March and bump the contributions for that month to three. I'll try again for once a week in April.
I realised the other day that I haven't made mention of my weight-loss efforts and how that was going. I did end up going to see an exercise physiologist (I may have already mentioned that??) and he gave me some exercises to do and a bit of a plan. I have done the exercises as best I could over the last few weeks but I could never fit them all in every time. The exercises themselves weren't amazing ones that I'd never seen before, he just picked ones to target different muscles. I should go back and see him soon.
For the past couple of months then, I have been doing one or two weights sessions with cardio at the start and in between to keep my heart rate up while doing the other exercises. I only do about an hour a time. I've also been doing one or two classes a week (Step, RPM, Balance) and usually another half hour run or hour walk. As well as that, I have been eating less carbs at dinner time. It has all resulted in a current weight of approximately 70 kg. I'm quite keen to cross the line and have a mass that starts with a 6 but who knows when that will happen. It has taken me a year to lose 5 kg and it's been slow and hard. I don't know how much of that is due to chemo, steroids, still recovering or my already pathetic metabolism but in any case I am glad to have made some progress.
In other matters, my energy is still a bit touch and go but it has been fairly good for the last week. I'm sure I could help myself by going to bed at a decent hour and getting up at the same time everyday but I always end up staying up too late doing bits and pieces. I did survive cooking for a camp on the weekend, which is encouraging. It was a lot of work and I was pretty exhausted but I just took it easy on Monday and I think I'll be okay.
