...And Bounce Back I Did!
My mouth is a lot less sore, so I can finally eat real food, like potato chips and cookies! The only problem is I can't really taste them. What is the fun in eating junk food if you can't taste it? Isn't that the point of eating junk food? You eat something that when you taste it, you know it is bad for you? All I get is the coating of slime in my mouth. I may come out of this whole chemo experience liking brussel sprouts.... who knows? I sure haven't been drinking my quota of coffee lately. That is probably a good thing since it is getting really expensive.
I walked/ran 2.6 miles on Saturday and another 3 miles on Sunday. I was feeling so good during my walk, that I decided to try jogging. I had some upbeat tunes on the iPod and picked up the pace a little. My lung capacity is definitely not what it used to be, but I still felt good. I wasn't even totally exhausted when I got home. I cooled down in the pool, which I can only go up to my waist, but it felt good! As soon as this wound heals, I am going to be swimming laps at the Aquatic Center... I am SO ready to start swimming again! One of these mornings if it is cool enough I am going to Rollerblade around the island. (Hey Mom- you want to come and ride your bike?)
I am not going to run on the days that I coach, I need all the energy I have for the one hour that I walk up and down the side of the pool. I probably walk at least a mile on that deck....
I am taking my sister out for her Birthday lunch today at "Two Guys Pizza & Pasta". I won some discount coupons on E-bay, so I could check it out. If it is good, I will let you know. If it isn't, I have a couple of coupons for sale.... cheap. Hopefully I will be able to tell the difference! :)
