1 MORE DOWN, 2 TO GO!

I am in the chair at Porter Ranch receiving my third to the last infusion of Herceptin! Dr. Glaspy is pleased with the changes he sees in me as I near the end; I've lost nearly 60 pounds since I first walked in here, I'm active and eating better. He said I looked good and asked how many hours a day I devote to exercise. I told him about Crossfit. He asked if I liked it and was happy that I said I did. 

I started one-on-one coaching sessions with Chad Melton, tonight (it is Tuesday, February 24). I was nervous to begin; afraid I wouldn't be able to do anything asked of me- but, it was a great session and I think Chad is, probably, feeling better about coaching me, too. It's a lot to ask of a young man- to take on the fitness of someone coming out of breast cancer treatment. It's a challenge for the most experienced physical therapist. But, I believe Chad is the right coach for me. I know I'm not the type of person he, normally, trains but I hope he is equally rewarded.

CrossFit 2nd Nature is becoming my salvation. An end to self destruction, fear and self-doubt. Thoughts of box jumps, BURPEES and squat press replace all those dark thoughts of ends and abandonment. The faces and voices of the coaches and athletes linger day after day squeezing out those thoughts that plagued me desperately. I have prayed to God and been answered.
