Active weekend and trying to focus

Well my weekend "workouts" have consisted of being the ref for my 8 year old daughters soccer game, yard work, house work, and running up and down stairs at home to help the girls stock and restock their lemonade/cookie stand. I wish I still had my Body Bugg to help me figure out how many calories that burnt! Now to stay away from the cookies.


Now to focus on Empowered Fitness and getting things moving. I am developing a survey for the survivors and other beginner boot campers so that I can find the best times and locations for sessions to help them.

Also I am going to work on a proposal to work with some of the patients at the hospital. We have two hospitals in Boise and one already has a trainer that comes in to work with breast cancer patients. The other hospital, where I received treatment, has some exercise classes like yoga but I would like to work with them to help more.

Spymom by Val Agosta

I am hoping to get time to start reading this book in the next week or so.  It is the true story of a Boise woman who went from soccer mom to private detective while battling breast cancer.  Val's cancer returned and she passed away before the book was published.  Taking the time to read (and even laugh out loud) about her journey and her adventures is a wonderful way to honor her memory.  You can get the book at Barnes and Noble or order the book by clicking this link.

Life in the Fast Lane

Spring is really trying to appear around here but the almost daily snow flurries are keeping it at bay. But the calendar says spring and that brings us our family into bery busy times.  Trinity turned 8 at the beginning of spring break, soccer started for her, Easter bunny came and went, Geoffrey is home for his spring break and I am prepping to teach my criminal mediation class at BSU all weekend.  In addition to that, Al is studying for his next test to become a Microsoft Administer and so many other projects.  I have been back to the doctor for a third time in 6 weeks regarding my ears.  I still have some fluid in there and the cough.  Another round of meds and if it is still there then on to an ENT.  Could be worse though.  All of the illness and other obligations has greatly hindered my workouts though.  It is difficult to feel icky and tired and then make it worse with little to no exercise.  I feel like a blob!  Hopefully I will be back on track really soon - getting all the leftover Easter jelly beans out of the house should help too!  Not to mention I will be receiving my sponsorship from Prilosec OTC in a month or so and need to start prepping!

Crazy week

Okay most weeks are crazy for me but last week had all kinds of fun and firsts!

On Wednesday, St. Patrick's Day, Trinity had her first Irish Step Dance performances.  Three schools and three assisted living centers.  Then I still made her go dance for family and friends.   She was so cute!

Thursday night brought the Idaho Business Review's 2010 Women of the Year dinner.  I was one of 50 women honored this year.  My friend Kim Lewis was also selected.  And Michelle Ross, who nominated me, was honored as well.

On Friday it was announced that I was selected as one of the Officials of Prilosec OTC and had received sponsorship from them to grow my dream of working in the area of fitness for cancer survivors.

Now to gear up for our daughter's birthday this coming weekend and Easter the weekend after that!

Results

I had blood work and a chest x-ray yesterday.  All clean!!!  Woo hoo!  There are a few other tests my oncologist wants done to ensure some issues are side effects and nothing of concern.  Better safe than sorry!

Time to soul search

I am home sick today with a double ear infection and a perforated eardrum.  I need to go get my meds soon!!! 

But for now I am sitting here thinking about what I want to accomplish in the next month.  I can't believe it is March already.  Time has been flying by and I feel like I am not giving myself enough me time etc.  I need to come out of my hibernation and get my spring energy going.  I am actually looking forward to yardwork and outdoor workouts.  I need to make a section on my To Do list that is things I want to accomplish - not just chores.

Next week is also my 6 month check up and blood work with my oncologist.  There is always some nervousness in the days leading up to the tests.    This isn't exactly one I can study for.  I have little to no control over where I pass or fail.  But I always think positive and the results are always good!
