Hi Ashlee,
Glad you're enjoying your deserved break. I had that little break back around the 4th and it was SOOOO nice....now I'm back on the juice until late November. I've never been a big exerciser, I was traumatized by the Kennedy administration in grade school gym glass, so never much of an athlete either (it took me about 10 years to learn how to bowl decently). I do have a "Fit Desk" bike, though, and I can generally pedal about 30 minutes (after you get past the first 10). I don't have much resistance on it, but moving the joints is good and I can put my laptop on it and amuse myself while trying to ignore the fact that I'm exercising. I quit while on Zaltrap, just felt too crummy and was also worried about BP/heartrate with that drug....not taking that one again unless Avastin stops working for me.
I spend too much time on the couch, though, but I do chase a 4 year old around every other week (my oldest grandson), so that forces me to my feet pretty often. Keep enjoying every day you can. I lived in CA for about 10 years, and you certainly can't beat the weather there (although we're getting a nice little summer here in STL MO this year)
Have fun,
Connie K.
