Hepatitis C Support Group
Hepatitis C is a blood-borne viral disease which can cause liver inflammation, fibrosis, cirrhosis and liver cancer. The hepatitis C virus (HCV) is spread by blood-to-blood contact with an infected person's blood. Many people with HCV infection have no symptoms and are unaware of the need to seek treatment. Hepatitis C infects an estimated 150-200 million people worldwide.
When I finally made it through treatment, I decided come hell or high water that I was going to start taking better care of myself. I've been exercising every day, eating right, and have lost 30 lbs in 4 months. WOOT!
But it's getting cold now, even in Texas. Today it was 37 degrees, wind out of the north at 15 with a light rain. Wind chill of about 28.
I just got back from a one hour bicycle ride. I was well dressed so I stayed pretty warm. I had a breathable rain jacket, long sleeve jersey and a base layer for my upper body, with shorts and tights underneath for my legs. For my feet I had wool socks and shoe covers, along with heavy thinsulate gloves for the hands.
I had a skull cover and helmet, but I think I need a baklava. My face got pretty cold when I was headed into the wind. Other than that it wasn't too bad.
If it gets really bad I can always lift weights in the garage, jog or even ride my exercise bike (hate it). But the bottom line is that this is so much easier than treatment.
I CAN DO THIS!

My main form of exercise is bending over and taking laundry out of the dryer. It's not working too well for me.

Hi dragonars.
I seem to be able to stop for a while, then back on it again. It's as addicting as my other past issues.
Ok, after the holidays that's it. DONE. Of course then there's valentines day; not that anyone is going to buy me chocolates, except myself...... Easter's a big candy holiday.
