Health and wellbeing

Hi

I had chemo (finished about 3months ago) and 6 weeks ago finished radiotherapy. I had put on a little bit of weight prior to my diagnosis but my partner and I generally attended the gym 3-5 times per week. During my recovery I have found it hard to excercise as I worked full time during treatment and had little energy left for anything else. Several weeks on we have resumed the gym 3-4 times per week (1hr sessions) and I am doing 15 min on the cross trainer, 20 mins on the treadmill and 30 mins on the bike. I know I feel better for it - it is a struggle after 8hrs of work but I know it will be beneficial. I eat reasonably healthy and have introduced a daily kale smoothie to increase anti cancer fighting foods. I have a drink of alcohol once per week. I used to enjoy a lovely bush walk here on the central coast about once a month but need to get more fitness to tackle all those stairs - its lovely walking along our coastline in the trees. 

Music wise at the gym I just listen to what they have playing, on our walks the time passes talking to friends. Just generally I like music with a good beat that makes you feel happy. 

Can't wait to get my energy back as before - but I am slowly improving.
