Today I ate breakfast, drank a soda with my morning meds because it helps me not get nauseous. After everyone left for school and work I opened the website for DDP Yoga Now and did the first two chair warrior workouts.

I did ok, I breezed through the first video as it was all sitting and I have been doing it for the last week just to help get me ready for today, I felt so good afterward I decided that I should do the second workout. The second workout is all standing, admittedly while holding onto a chair, that one was much tougher in all honesty, my left hip didn’t much care for it but then it doesn’t much care for anything so that’s nothing new.  What I learned was that I can do a lot more than I thought I could, I am just as strong and just as good as I was before this whole mess, in short Cancer sidelined me but it didn’t take me out of the game, like many pro athletes I just need to take a season off and come back leaner and meaner, and I will, I can’t become one of those guys who spends his life in an electric scooter because he gave up, giving up isn’t in me, never has been and honestly I think I would shame my family and my personal honor if I ever did give up.  One of the guys who I used o work out with once told me while I was heaving and out of breath after a run “You got two choices, suck wind and move on or ring that bell and quit” well there aint no bell ringing in me and there never will be.
