I woke up this morning with two nicely sized “girls” and now I was getting ready to go for what feels like my third mastectomy day. Did you ever see that movie “Ground Hog Day”? Where the newscaster wakes up every day and it is the same day over and over again. That is what I felt like, every time I get used to the “girls” they get taken away again. Luckily for me when the first reconstruction failed not all the tissue died so I still would have some chest just not the overly abundant chest that I was used to.

A new study is suggesting recent state policies that eliminate junk food from school concessions has been successful, but more so with black students.

Daily soda consumption has dropped twice as much with black students. Overall consumption of soda in the states with bans has dropped by an average of .09 servings of soda each day. However, among black students is dropped .19 servings per day.

Soda is widely considered to be a contributor to the increase in obesity because it has been associated with excess energy intake and weight gain wrote the studys authors.

I had my first appointment with a new plastic surgeon and I must admit I was really uncomfortable. I had heard that this doctor make incredible breast and it was a little weird to hear that is what he is known for. I went to the appointment with my husband because by now I had about 8 surgeries between the initial mastectomies and reconstruction and all the repairs that followed. I have also just recently had to have my reconstruction reworked and implants put in.

I tried to be patient with my first surgeon and I think I gave him more than enough tries to get it right and I had enough.

Some random stuff off the top of my head (and sometimes the bottom of my heart!):

===

The part that most trainers miss as regards training (that Ive always felt) is that Olympic lifting and powerlifting are designed to move as much weight as efficiently as possible (ie as little work as possible ). Competitive kettlebell lifting is the same make the movement as efficient (and therefore as least demanding) as possible.

Bodybuilding is about creating as much tension and overload on a single muscle as possible, regardless of load (ie make everything feel heavy).

I am feeling really good about my decision to change oncologist. My first oncologist Dr. Gloom really caused me a lot of stress. Don’t get me wrong I think even if I had not had him as my doctor the cancer diagnosis alone would have caused me stress. He just made it worse with his comment about not being able to cure it when it came back. It really felt to me like he was basically saying I was going to die and I was 35 with 3 small children and death was not in my plans.

I did a lot of research on choosing my new oncologist and the facility that they would be associated with.
