    lifting is part of my job so need to becareful with that.
    what do you at work? stocking shelves or what?

    i continue to bike, climb flights, work out with my stability ball. i've done at least 3 days doing one or more of those since i last posted. the weather is really getting nice now so i would like to add some walking. work is keeping me busy with movement too.

    since i started this stay active challenge, i've done no less than 3 days a week of activity. more, in fact, since i'm working. at times, i've done too much and i've had to deal with leg pain but that ache has to be much better than the alternative of a sedentary lifestyle.

    lana, are you still able to work? has your activity level been reduced by the circumstances?

    Jo, I am still working full time, about 4-5 days a week. Although I designate as much of the lifting and carrying right now. I find by the end of the shift I am tired and sore.

    The things I used to lift and carry were 15lb ice cap mix buckets, 10lb cream bags, cases of coffee (small bags for brewing coffee), the boxes of cup sleeves, that kind of stuff. Also the pops/juices/milk/water to restock the fridges.

    just updating:

    i'm still active, still biking, still counting flights and sometimes getting a walk in although walking with dh has happened in quite some time. i'm still working and that keeps me moving also, along with mowing now that it's gotten warm.
    i've been having some leg pains for a long time. they get so achy and i wonder if it has anything to do with the lymph nodes or that lack of them. something i need to ask my oncologist about.
