I did it on the "important" part of the yard that we enjoy by my BBQ lol. The other part is long and narrow with a steep bank so I went into my old routine over there lol... But I did get some fresh seed and fertilizer down today before the rain hit too

That's awesome. My boy and are are smoking some trout today from our last big fishing trip, old school over wood and when that's done a leg of lamb. We have a boys weekend while my wife is gone with her daughters so it's all grilling today!

Notes; Today was very good workout, I was really mentally into it and it felt great, I want to do a bit more core work but I was out of gas after the leg presses. Nutrition was off a bit but with these medicines I just can't keep my hunger under control. I am hoping things dry up today and I can get some Cardio (aka Lawn Mowing) done.

Tomorrow morning Blood Draw, Meeting with the Doctor and Chemo, this will be my first at the full 30ml dose, if all goes well I will go to work in the afternoon. Life Is Good !!
 
I good leg day always gets the blood pumping. Good work always makes you feel satisfied when finished.💪
Praying your chemo treatment goes smooth with the higher dose, and no sides.🙏

Man 150 reps over 3 sets of Legpress, that is wild to me!!! Nice leg day 🦵

The Doctor said I could train as long as I trained light. 135lbs is pretty light on the leg press !!
 
Sunday I did yard work most of the day, I will say it took me twice as long as it should have but I was just happy I was able to do it. The fresh air and sunshine was very nice.

someone once told me the quickest way to a man's heart is through his stomach. Judging by your wife and my wife's actions this must be true and they must like us at least a little bit lol

No workout to today, I think I over did it a bit with the yard work yesterday. I had a blood draw today at 7:30am, Doctor at 8am and 4 hours of Chemo at 9am. This was my first day at the Max Dose and everything went good, no side effects, no problems! Tomorrow (Tuesday) is the only day this week I don't have a Doctor or Hospital appointment, but I do need to pick some drugs up at the Pharmacy ! Hopefully I can get up and train in the morning!
 
Hopefully you felt good enough to train this morning. Great leg session, I hope it didn't take too much out of you.
 
This morning was awesome, I feel the best I have felt in 6 months !

Notes; Great day today, I woke up at 3am feeling better than I have in 6 months, I keep having to remind myself to take it easy in the gym. I had a great workout., I keep nutrition in check and I worked 10 hours at my job. Tomorrow is 3 hours of Chemo in the morning and than I am planning on going to work. Life Is Good !!

Glad to hear this! Hopefully Chemo goes well today!

Chemo is not to bad, I just sit in a recliner for 3 hours, reading and playing on social media, but I would rather be at work!
 
Yeah, my understanding is that the chemo treatment itself ain't so bad, it is the following side effects as the levels increase over time. Hopefully yours stay very minimal. My cousin didn't have any bad issues until his treatment was over, then he got some skin burns a couple weeks later but they healed up pretty quickly after that. Looked like a bad peeling sunburn, and he lost a bunch of weight that came back quickly. A small price to pay to be cancer free!!!
 
My dad’s chemo went very well, he never really lost appetite or weight, didn’t lose hair, a bit more fatigued but that’s pretty fair when your body is kicking cancer! He was amazed how smoothly it went, and had great results from it.
 
So far fatigued, trouble sleeping and increased hunger are the only thing I have noticed. But I feel pretty good over all !!
 
Let's all hope that is as bad as it ever gets for you!!!

Nutrition a little hard to manage during Chemo, about the only thing I can eat while getting my infusion is a sandwich or two.

Notes; Great workout again this morning, and a very nice day followed !!
 
That's understandable about the nutrition - I wouldn't sweat it at all - just the fact that you're training and watching your diet and all is incredible and so inspirational.

Agreed!
 
Glad your chemo treatments seem to be helping, with very little sides, and you’re still getting in some workouts. Stay strong, and keep at it brother.💪👍
 
Life is an adventure !

I DON’T FAST. !!!!!
Click to expand...
I don’t mind intermittent fasting or a day or two fast, but I can’t stand it when I have a procedure that they made me fast for, but it gets delayed and they do it later. My wife can fast with no problem, but let a Doctor tell her not to eat for a procedure, and that girl is ill as a hornet by the time they do it.
I hope your surgery goes well, and then you can enjoy a good hardy meal later on.🥩😎
 
I hope that the procedure goes well today. Will be praying for you.

Notes; My leg workout this morning was awesome, I pushed it pretty hard and was breathing heavy when done. I almost feel silly saying this after looking at @Hyde or one of @MrKleen73 's workouts, but I do what I can and feel good about it when I'm done. My procedures both went well today, even pain free, chest is a little tender now and I can't do any chest movements for about two weeks, but I can start using my right arm on Monday. I may have to start the week off with Bi's & Tri's. I have Chemo tomorrow at 9am, so I think I will get up at sunrise and go for a nice walk (fasted) . Life Is Good !!
