hey pepe, protein, protein, protein
dear pepe,
to build muscle, not just keep it i have really focused on gut and digestion.
its worked i am gaining muscle, just a little, swapping fat with toxins for new muscle.

so i am having lots of protein, mainly raw mixed nuts, broccoli, a little fish and organic chicken and kangeroo.

now i always have media clear plus , details on iherb with every juice. especially in the morning before yoga, after the hard core 90 minute class i come home and have free range organic eggs, mushrooms etc etc.

i was told to ensure i have good quality protein in my diet before and after exercise. its working for me so far.

alas walking is catabolic, basically consumes muslces.

the only exercise to build muscle is anabolic ie resistance exercises. that where my focus has been. i have been off the treadmill for months now in favour of sports based yoga, that leaves all your muscles aching. we even started today on one armed pushups.

so my onc was worried about my weight loss, she is not so worried now. focusing on digestion, and diet has given me some results. so even if the cea is a problem, its nice to have success on the other areas, ie gaining muscle, good bloods, etc etc.

you probably know this sort of stuff. but my functional gp spot i was burning muscle protein in the 24 hour complete urine test. i think creatinin was the marker that signaled i was burning muscle. i stopped the treadmill in favour of weighting as soon as i had this explained and the tests confirmed it.

i did the hardest yoga today, a really good workout, lots of sweat and aching muscles. i might only be getting 3 x 90 workouts a week, but that allows recovery.

i did a couple of straigh arm hand stands today. a first for me. just some thoughts about keeping the weight on. medi clear plus is an amazing rice protein thats so easy to add to an organic vegetable juice.

just a few ideas and reflections on what has worked for me, good luck.

hugs,
pete

ever see ground hog day ?
hi pepe and all

i love doing the new post every few months. over 500 replies this message has popped to the top of this list. it would be wonderful if we were the healthiest group of crc's, if your not well enough to exercise your body maybe you could checkout the meditation post so you could exercise your mind by doing nothing.

our new crc's probably don't get this advice from onc, or nurses, or hospital or csn or anywhere.

they get it here if they are looking for support, thanks heaps mate, we are doing something great for ourselves and we may help our friends as well.

off to the gym for weight training, did a walk this morning with friends and will try to get in 50 laps in the pool this arvo.

the treadmill is being phased out due to yoga and swimming at the moment. i want to keep the weights going.

hugs,
pete

after a 3 weeks camping , one up in the mountains i am back to y
yoga, i cannot wait.

anyone else exercising ?

did you see the acs advice about diet and exercise ?

regardless have a great evening, i am.

the yoga class was pretty tough because i have a strained leg where i fell through a bridge on the health retreat and given i did not do as much self practice as i should have.

the other thing i tried tonight is the steam room after yoga for 10 minutes, then cold shower, do this 3 times. its supposed to stimulate your immune system.

hugs,
pete
