I love hearing that someone else is so invested in exercise and is actually getting back into it! Seems like you're quite justified in your opinion, especially if you watched Catalyst on Tuesday.
I too was a bit of a gym junkie before this. I had started power lifting, not quite up to 80kg deadlifts, but I was doing 80kg squats! Anyway, as soon as I was physically able to, I returned to the gym. Unfortunately though, I developed cording after the axillary clearance almost immediately after surgery. I find now that if I try to lift even a small amount of weight, the entire lymph system from my wrist to my chest wall tightens up. This frustrates me no end! I miss my muscles! Anyway, I've had 3 rounds of TCH chemo so far and I manage to get back to the gym on Day 6 post treatment. All I can handle that first day is 20 minutes of a Step class. It takes me a whole week to work up to being able to finish a class. I'll hit the gym 4 or 5 times a week & do whatever leg resistance exercises I can come up with if I'm not doing a Step or CX class or running on the treadmill. Wish I could do more, but the arm limits me so much. I'm jealous that you're still able to lift 50kg (I used to chest press that??)
Keep it up!!!
