Introduction

Hello, I am starting this blog to catalogue my full return to health following cancer treatment and recovery, (hold myself accountable). I hope to be able to provide my training plans, (running, cycling, calisthenics), shoe reviews, dietary and meal plans, recipes... maybe some humorous anecdotes?

Currently, I am in the planning stages of how I will go about this - but my goal is to lose 50lbs over the next couple of years - I am basically starting from scratch as surgery, treatment, and recovery made me rather sedentary. Miraculously, I am one of those special cases of cancer patients who gained weight - partially because they told me to fatten up, fearing I would be nauseated by radiation... I never got sick, so I just kept eating and eating...

Now I am trying to change my lifestyle back to one that merits the second chance I was given by being cured of cancer... September 26, 2012 marks the one year anniversary of my first surgery - September 24, 2012 will mark the beginning of my trek to a new life and longevity...

Please feel free to comment, provide advice/suggestions, ask questions, etc., etc..

I hope this is fun...

  2. Of course going vegan and eating right can reduce risks of some cancers, help with energy, reverse diabetes and heart disease, prevent ED, and can open your social network to people who care about being healthy too! I will be reading this often for any fun work out advise too.
