Chemo Session 1 - Day 2 / Fitness Zone

A quick chemo session today, mil had already started her drip when I arrived at the Oncology Department around 8.15am. We finished around 9.45am, and mom picked us up. Decided to take mil to Tutong to have her fitted for a blouse, so it'll be easier to access her Porta-Cath on her chest. They'll be taking out her pump thingy tomorrow at the ward. 2nd chemo session set for the 29th.

Mom in law's Chemo Pump, in a nifty bag.
After Zuhur, got ready to go to Fitness Zone for the 1st trial session with my mom. Felt kinda weird going around The Mall in my full gym get-up, didn't realise there was a closer lift. Anyways, the instructor Mario got us started on cardio work-outs, first on the treadmill for 15 minutes on the lowest setting! Heheh! Then another instructor Pia got us started on cycling for 20 minutes. Whoah! Can really feel the strain on my thighs!

Then Miki, the guy that spoke to us on Tuesday, put us through some stretching exercises. Then back to more cardio workouts, just to build stamina. At first he put us on this striding thingy called the Natural Runner, and OMIGOD! It was too much for me, I could only manage like 2 minutes on it! Heheh! So mom and I went back to the treadmill, but Miki made me walk on a higher intensity for 20 minutes. I really got the hang of it after awhile, I actually wanted to go for longer, but mom wanted to go already.

So, before we left we decided to register to join for 3 months. Total per person B$460 (Registration fee - $100, Admin. Fee - $10, 3 months membership - $330). We've set the next work-out for this Saturday morning, with an Induction session with Pia to find out our fitness levels, goals and stuff, so we can work out a personalised program. Should be interesting!
