Hi!!! Scan was CLEAR!!!!! Yahoo!!!!
Meds without chemo seemed uneventful on 2/13. Certainly was not sick like with chemo. I still have issues with hair, neuropathy. Hoping that gets better soon. I still have vision problems many times, it's like double vision. I am having an MRI on Wed to check my brain. At the very least we will know if there are any real problems there. I don't anticipate anything other than an all clear. I will report back.
Overall strength is horrible. I am sore right now and have not done any major exercise. Physical strength has been a lot harder than I thought it would be. I have been exercising but it's mostly walking. Jogging is incredibly hard at the moment. I'm also batting 50% on the clean eating ordeal. I am eating chicken nuggets and fries as I write this. Fried chicken and French fries are a major downfall for me. The way I see it is that there is always tomorrow to start fresh, I don't have to eat it all, and I deserve it. It's a constant battle in my head. Ha!
I realize this is not very inspiring. Hope to have a much better report next time. Maybe I will be jogging and have lost a few lbs by then... (I am not eating more than half my fries! The right side of my brain won this one! Haha!!)
Lots of love to my angels. Xoxo

Let's Do This!!!!!!
Hi,
Today is February 1, 2017. Today marks the upswing from the last treatment on 1/23. It also marks the day that I am focusing on eating healthy and exercising. My body feels like it has aged 15 years just in the last 8 months. My body will never go back to what it was. Now, I have no choice but to force myself, like never before, to embrace eating better and exercising. Don't get me wrong, its not always a struggle to do what is right, but it is a fight, no doubt.
Today begins a new journey to do what is right. I am not going to focus on low carb or low calorie plans as I have in the past. They are either way too high in fat or way too little for me. My focus will be clean eating. This will include fruits, vegetables and pork, poultry, fish. I don't eat red meat and haven't since I was 19 years old. I haven't decided how to deal with ice cream cravings, yet. ha! Right now, I am not having a craving, so we will count this as good.
My exercising will include walking and working up to jogging very soon and running soon after that. My goal is to run a half marathon on April 29th, 2017. Today, I walked 2.4 miles, did 10 girly push ups, did 2 reps of 15 crunches and only 30 100's, in this case it was 30's (if you don't know what this is, its ok, I'll explain another time)- to build up core strength. I am on the right track as of this minute.
I look forward to what I write on May 1, 2017. I will tell you one thing, yes it is a struggle, but when I really want something, and I am really fighting for it, I turn to prayer and seek God's help in helping me make the impossible possible. So reassuring and breathtaking... for someone so unworthy like myself doesn't disqualify me from His love and promise. Boom, drop the mic! He is so Mighty!!!
With that, let's do this!! I will be posting soon. CT scan is 2/13. Will definitely report back for that if not sooner!
