Miniband workout. I was so happy this morning, I found this band in my suitcase, in a hidden pocket. I think it was there since last summer.
Join me in this workout.
40 sec work , 15 sec rest.

Woke up with a sun . Washed my face , no makeup, brushed my tiny ini-mini hair and go !
Great outdoor workout. I was sweating a lot but it felt amazing.

No equipment, limited space , no excuses. Some basic moves, 10 reps each , 4 rounds. Let’s go!

In 2023 my first mammogram saved my life . I was called back for a biopsy which picked up cancer . That time I have decided to have a double mastectomy, thinking cancer can never be back . From double mastectomy, I recovered quickly and I got back my life, kept working out, kept teaching classes.
2025 November, I first felt something was wrong when my right arm got puffed up and swollen. Dr said it’s lymphoma from 2023 because she removed 2 lymphs . A few weeks had passed and it didn’t go away or shrieked enough , so I decided to see a doctor again and asked for a full body scan . Then I received the news as if someone had punched me in my stomach. I couldn’t believe it . Breast cancer again, on the same side , because I still had tissue and cancer decided to come back . One day everything was ok , the day after my life became a fear .
After many needless, blood , biopsies, visits, scans , the answer was Stage 4 cancer, about 5 years to live .Spread on lungs, bone and bone marrow.
You would think after hearing this statement, I left the doctor office crying, or giving up ? No !!!
My biggest motivation was to put my mind to not believe what the doctor said . I switched my mind and I focused on living and I stayed positive. I never called myself sick and I never stopped living the life I lived before. I felt like I’m stronger than the cancer living in my body and wants to take over . I couldn’t let that happen. This is my body and I’m not letting anything destroy it.
Thinking back , I don’t know where I got all the energy showing up at my workouts, but I did . It’s a mind game. After treatment for 4-5-6 days I was so sick and weak, I thought life left my body, but when those days passed I picked a slower workout to start back up. Every time it felt like my first time exercising ever . But I knew I can’t give up , and have to push myself through it. It got better , and I started to enjoy it again, I felt like my old me . That feeling was important , that feeling was a success to keep going and finish up this chapter in my life.
I’m cancer free. I keep saying to myself , that there is no cancer eating me alive. I got a new life. Again.
Thank you all for supporting me. One kind word, one kind sentence of yours kept me going.

When I walked in to see my doctor this morning and talk about my results he didn’t say a word, but he opened his arms and said , “ I don’t know how, but You just performed a miracle. You beat a stage 4 cancer” I couldn’t say anything I had to sit down. I had to hear it again from him . What I was expecting when I woke up this morning was that my cancer cells hopefully shrinking and not spreading anywhere else . But they disappeared. My doctor said he never seen anything like this so quickly and he also said my body is very strong along with my mind. But you all need to know, that after my treatments I felt like life gave up on me for days . I was so sick and so weak . My mind pushed me to go and workout because I need that even if I felt like giving up , something kept me going that I can’t explain. I just knew I have to keep going. I don’t want to get this post cheesy, but I cannot not mention my Husband, who was by my side every step of the way. Every single step . When I couldn’t eat anything else because of nausea but pizza and it was 11 o’clock at night and he went to get me food , when he kept telling me how much he loves me no matter what. I thank him because without him I couldn’t have done it. Right now , I’m sitting in my car and trying to decide if I should cry like really really cry and scream, or should I laugh?! Laugh at this cancer that wanted to take my life away from my family, from this beautiful life I love to live.
I beat it ! I beat a stage 4 cancer.
( the new building has no bell installed yet, so Rhonda , who walked me in for my first ever treatment played a “Ring my bell “ song on her phone and danced with me . On my right side is Amanda , the chemo nurse , who put up with me every treatment. She is one of a kind)
Thank you all for supporting me, I will never forget You ! ❤️
