Motivate Me.. !!

Hi

Firstly, very well done for staying so active and working during treatment! I did find it very difficult for a while after treatment ended because of the fatigue. I kept exercising but wondered if I would ever feel energetic again. 

I think it helped me to see a physio who specialized in recovery after Cancer treatment. I did an hour of Pilates with her each week and she helped me design an appropriate exercise plan for the rest of my week. She helped me to realise I was doing well and improving when I was struggling because of that fatigue.

I also found it helped to do things I enjoyed as much as possible (exercise wise and other things too). I had to try and get that energy back so I became pretty good at saying no to things or people who drained my energy!

It also helped to keep a record of my exercise so I could feel I was achieving something (I did this in a diary). I then found little goals to keep me going like going in a 10km walk for BC etc.

Exercising with family and friends also helped me to keep motivated. Hope that some of these ideas might be of help. Treatment can have quite a lasting effect (I am on tamoxifen too) but it does keep improving. Good luck with it. Take care. Deanne xxx
