in Head and Neck Cancer #1

Had my evaluation yesterday for the new group at the Y, I did fairly well, have been having trouble with my lower legs while walking, so the 6 minute walking test didn't go too good, HOWEVER, I pressed 100 lbs with my legs, 75lbs arms, balanced on each foot singlely for 4 minutes...the classes start 9/23, I'm excited to go back and meet my classmates..there will be exercise,including swimming,nutrition classes,speakers on various topics...I told my husband, I may not be able to run and catch you, but, if I do, I can definately kick your a$$

    Sounds like such a neat thing

    to do!  I'm impressed with the amount of weight you can press....my gawd, 75 lbs with your arms???  However, what REALLY has me impressed is your balance!  Back in my heavy yoga days, I could stand like a crane forever....today if I last 30 seconds I'm waving my arms like a helicopter, trying to stay upright. 

    Tell hubby once you've been doing this a while you WILL be able to catch him, and an a$$ whooping is guarenteed....LOL.

    You're strong!

    That's awesome!!  You are very strong...I work in a gym and I can leg press some big numbers, but I have hardly any upper body strength!  You go!!  That's GREAT!!

    "Y" not

    Grandmax4,

    I’ll give you a signed picture of me in my mask if you press Phrannie above your head while she waves her arms like a helicopter.

    Waiting in Oregon,

    Pshaw

    as tiny as Phrannie is, I could probably hold her over my head, standing on 1 foot :)
