ITNewbie’s BodyBlog

I just finished working out and taking a nice shower-boy doesn’t that feel good I dont know why I embrace this feeling instead of settling for an idle lifestyle such as sitting at my computer doing my schoolwork and just occasionally getting up to get a drink or snack and use the bathroom. I have been doing well with getting out of the house and walking at least to the bus stop and going to my appointments-I know I need to get out more . I am anticipating that I will get some extra money to go back and join my local gym to work more on my physique which needs to lose  body fat.

My diet has been ok but needs improvement-it is hard to obtain that routine when I dont have a constant structure daily and/or weekly. I am working on this issue-I am a  home bound online college student that has a set of dumbbells and a exercise wheel to work my abs-it is acceptable based on my lack of income-I wish I had a sponsor to help me with this. I totally understand that in today’s society it is a rarity for someone to help one unconditionally. I was a personal trainer along with working with emotionally disturbed kids. I did provide a service and got paid for that service. Although I did not get as much compensation for those services, I enjoyed the experience I gained.

So sponsorship is somewhat based on those conditions with compensation in some form or fashion. I am feeling good at this point and still working on myself physically, emotionally, and spiritually still keeping in mind my limitations in two of those areas.

I have been told that each day is different - I just had  oatmeal and multivitamin meal along with my regular cup or cups of healthy green tea. I just wonder if everything I heard about green tea is true . Since my diagnosis I have been drinking every morning and wondering if it helps or hurts my cancer. I will be going to the oncologist on the 24th to give him my decision regarding my choice of treatment which wil bee  radiation via the laser treatment that they spoke of. Wish me luck

In the meantime  I am going to  exercise and keep my spirits up both mentally and spiritually.

Until next time

just got more bad news concerning a friend of mine who has contracted cancer -quite devastating for me since I just started to develop  a relationship with him - I guess I am meant to take this as another opportunity to talk about my sickness which is less severe. He has a tumor on his spine which is going to take surgery and chemotherapy.. My tumor is in its early stages and very slow growing -told it will take years to grow under normal conditions (10-15yeas ) to produce symptoms.

on a lighter note I have started back to school online and I am just finishing my first week
need to get my books soon -told the instructor waiting for a response. I am excited not so much for the class but for the number of people in the class. I was a class of one last quarter where I still have  a paper due which gave me an incomplete grade. I am going to the VA in Brecksville to a weekly group dealing with helping veterans with everyday issues. I have a slew of appointments at the Wade Park VA -which include seeing a my primary doctor , a urologist and my psychiatrist. along with my oncologist to discuss what my choice for treatment is  of my cancerous tumor within my prostate gland. which is on the 24th .I am ready to get this process started no matter how minuscule my tumor is- I cannot just take things for granted anymore. I am watching my diet and exercising more along with going to different functions outside my apt.
As I get more info on my progress I will update this blog -it serves as my journal and therapy at this point.
Until next time

I am doing ok since I last posted about my diagnosis-since then I have gotten used to accepting the fact that I have abnormal cells that could potentially kill me-just a warning sign that gives me a wake-up call in reference to paying more attention to my life and how I live it. I have been  working out more often since the diagnosis and also eating a little better-I enrolled in a 4 week self help very structured program to help veterans as myself deal with mental health issues that stem from tragic events.

I will update my workout tracker since I have been working out with my db’s in my apt.
I have graduated from the 4 week program and now I am part of the alumni group and I am welcome to come back on every thursday for alumni functions at the VA Hospital

I have been thinking about my future with weight training and losing so abdominal fat-silly me I know that fat is lost evenly all over my body but I know I need to kick start it with heavy cardio training which involves going to the gym or running out side
Any way I will keep you that read my blog of my status since my diagnosis
I would like to see if people are reading it. I welcome any ideas ,suggestions or comments that you think of.
Thanks for all the support thus far from forum member and friends and family that has been there for me and will continue to be there.

Until next time
