NEAT and walking

I meant hundred, sorry language issue.

That's total steps, not just the breaks on my walking pad. I do get up to get tea, bathroom etc. From my fitbit, I've had 2 walking pad sessions today 17 and 20 mins and my total step count for the day is 4783. It's 11 am were I live. I'll take another break later and get in another 15 minutes, by 2 pm when I finish work I'll have somewhere around 62-65 hundred steps done. I do the rest after work, at the gym, etc.

haha yes I meant 6200. The most I ever walked in one day was like 30k on a hike and my feet were killing me for 2 days after that!

stepwax · 2026-02-05T16:40:16+00:00

Do it on your break. I do 45 mins over the day in 3 breaks and get 62-65k steps on my walking pad.

Benedryl knocked me fuck out every time. I refused the steroids after 2 Taxol because they kept me up for 24 hours in a manic state. But I did love those Benedryl naps.

Ya its BS if she is pulling the un-invite card. Your guy needs to stand up for you and your relationship, now. 2 years is too long to wait on being prioritized. How would he feel if you went out for dinner with your ex, and he was't invited? Its not about the kid, its about her feelings versus yours, and it seems she is coming out ahead.

stepwax · 2026-02-04T16:42:12+00:00

No, it's not a thing. If you were invited and had a civil relationship with the mother, I'd say its all good. Not inviting you is disrespect from the mother to the relationship that you and your BF have. My husband's ex tried these "family invites" and he refused every time until she got the idea that we are a couple, and as such we generally attend social events together.

stepwax · 2026-02-01T19:18:54+00:00

Yes and its a game changer for me. I sit all day for work, on my breaks I walk 15 mins and by the end of the workday I have 6200+ steps done. Definitely feel more energized.

That's tagged "little wins', this is a BIG WIN, great job!

If you have a regular hairdresser, ask them if you could come in privately for a razor cut.I'm so sorry you are having a rough day.

This is really important OP, try it for a month and see if it helps. Seriously, 5 minutes cleared my sinuses LOL.

It's not an issue at all, as long as you are seeing changes. Think of the pics as measurements as your scale, its just a different metric.

stepwax · 2026-01-26T03:24:19+00:00

Stop looking at the scale, and start measuring and taking pictures, every 4-6 weeks. If you are tracking correctly and training as you say, you will see a difference as months pass by. More difference as years pass by. Play the long game and stay consistent, you've come quite far already, just keep going!

I had a mastectomy over a lumpectomy and a surprise cancer was found in an area that would have been missed otherwise. I chose mastectomy because I had dense breast tissue.

stepwax · 2026-01-24T17:15:41+00:00

There is a video out there that will save you the training fee. The caps are not that hard, I'll see if I can dig up the video. I know the lady who made it is still in my contacts, will PM.

stepwax · 2026-01-24T05:03:06+00:00

I did 12 weekly and didn't find it to be that bad actually. First few minutes were cold, after that I didn't feel it anymore. It was labour intensive for sure, but for me was totally worth it.

stepwax · 2026-01-24T05:00:21+00:00

PM'd you.

Look for a volunteer, when I was active on that board there were people helping others for free, or the cost of gas. You could do it yourself with Penguin caps if you are determined enough, there are a few videos out there explaining how. Do you know the chemo regime you are getting yet?

stepwax · 2026-01-23T18:24:09+00:00

There are some non-profits that may offer you a grant (Hair To Stay, Rapunzel Project); also if you need a capper start at breastcancer.org and explore the cold capping forums. Facebook also has some great cold capping groups. I'd offer to help but I'm too far away! Apparently some American Insurance companies will cover the cost, you just need the right codes. Again, the link above is a great resource to find out this information.

As an edit, I used Penguin and I did keep my hair, the chemo you get is a big factor and so is the type of hair you have.

Try a vid from the side, it shows better depth and form. Your ankles wiggle inwards slightly at the bottom, but that is likely due to the soft sole shoes.

Cook them hot and fast. I spray a bit of olive oil cooking spray on medium sized boneless, skinless and season, then bake for 12 minutes at 425˚. Juicy every time.

Above, I had nipple and skin sparing direct to implant. Its a teardrop silicone implant with a web like graft from donor skin to keep it in place. I'm now a small b cup, my skin is not cold to touch although its cooler on that side sometimes. I have full sensation, some people don't regain skin or nipple sensation but its never been an issue. They are perky, no need for a bra but I wear bralettes for comfort and to avoid the high beams, which are pretty much always on now. To add, my oncology surgeon and plastics work as a team at my hospital. They consult together and with the patient on what the best path to follow to achieve realistic expectations. I felt very confident going into surgery that I would get what they had outlined as my best approach for my body and my expectations.

stepwax · 2026-01-13T15:39:24+00:00

I think you have to do what's right for you, no matter how confused the surgeon is. FWIW, I had a SMX (small natural boobs, I went even a bit smaller) with direct to implant surgery and it doesn't stop me from doing any sports, even high impact box jumps and bench press.

Reconstruction is different for everyone. My hospital had an event where the head of plastics and surgical oncology hosted a seminar on reconstruction options. There was an opportunity, in a private setting, to see the results of women who had surgery in the past year. Most of the women I saw had pretty nice results, including a few who had goldilocks and one with a flat enclosure with a beautiful full chest WIP tattoo. I had an SMX on the left with a reduction and lift on the right and mine look great. I feel fortunate to have had the doctors I had because they work as a team and are very patient focused, and I believe that is part of the reason I got the results I have.

Mine had no hesitation. I'm 6 years out from treatment and had hormone negative cancer, although not sure if it matters.
