- TonyaMMemberHi Cate, yes,I can join the CC phone support program as a follow on from Enrich course. Wow,you are way ahead of me if you are running 5k! Well done you.
- Cate64Member@socoda I believe it will start as soon as I receive the first phone call which I am hoping will be today or tomorrow.
&... I just have to say I so super phsyc'd about it, can't wait to start striving towards it, I am running in City@Sea this coming Sunday & next year I want to be doing the 10km instead of the 5km.... - socodaMemberCate I'm thinking with your determination that your not going to find that one too hard :) - Excellent!! I'm interested in reintroducing weights into my workout but don't want to over do it. When does your program start?
- Cate64Member@socoda & @TonyaM, thanks.
I have asked to join the 'Healthy Living After Cancer' program with the Cancer Council & am expecting a call from them in the next day or so.
I will initially receive a weekly phone call from the cancer nurse with regards to a healthy diet (yes, fairly basic common sense stuff) & being active (again, for me, fairly basic stuff) but also she/he will help me set goals for improving on it... It is over a 6 month period, initally weekly, then fortnightly onto monthly calls.
I already have my first goal in mind & that is the be able to run 10km instead of 5km. - TonyaMMemberHi Cate,
I'm currently doing the Enrich program every Saturday for 2 hrs. It's run by a Dietition and an exercise physiologist.I would say that the healthy eating part is fairly basic- I'd like more in depth.But the exercise part is good and is motivating me. - socodaMemberHi Cate, I have a brochure for the Healthy Lifestyle program (enrich) by Cancer Council and it looks fantastic, so am thinking of enrolling but it doesn't start until Feb 17.
