Learning to tie scarves is not what #newlydiagnosed #cancerpatients are in the mood for, plus after #mastectomy #cancersurgery it’s difficult to lift your hands over your head. #chemobeanies require no effort.

Let me tell you a little secret on how to change the workout to make it easier or to make it harder.....adjust your range of motion and change the weights. • Range of Motion can mean a deeper squat or a more shallow squat, because you are not going down as far. Every single exercise can be adjusted this way, from planks to situps, from pilates to yoga. • Drop your weights and just use your body weight to make it easier or go up and add to your weights for a larger challenge. • BUT Listen to your body! • I have had a neck fusion, back fusion, mastectomy, rebuild, hysterectomy and tons of endometriosis surgeries. So there are so many things that I cannot do like others and so I modify and listen to my body. AND if I can do this then you can do it girl!!! ♡♡♡ My next Faster Way to Fat Loss round will be on June 1st. The link is in my bio for more information and to register. It will be a HUGE Community Round with all the coaches and it will be so fun! I will teach you all the things! So if you want to join and have been on the fence, this is your time! Or if you want to do it again, come on!!! We have had so many exciting changes! A podcast, a new app, a new meal plan, a ton of daily LIVE exercises. I just finished my Faster Way Leg "kick my bootie" workout!!! These legs are trembling, but shaking is changing! And I am glistening, not sweating! #Sweatyselfy #Saturday #fasterwaytofatloss #neckfusion #backfusion #mastectomy #mastectomyrecovery #mastectomyreconstruction #youcandothis #fitover40 #almost50 #alabamablog #birminghamfitness #30a #30alife #mountainbrook #fasterwaycoach #linkinbio #santarosabeach #saturdayselfies #lifestyleblog #newblog #styleblogger #recipeblogger (at Santa Rosa Beach, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAilhCqF_ss/?igshid=1gz5z4nagum01

As prescribed by my Plastic Surgeon. I have one week of using Santyl left then it’s on to the $105 bottle of Biocorneum 🙌 That means no more surgical pads. I was cleared to start cleaning and doing small stuff today - I got so excited I over did it. The webbing from my axillary web syndrome is throbbing into my armpit where I had my lymph nodes removed and into my back. I realized I definitely need physical therapy so I called my breast surgeon for an appointment on Friday and to check up on my complications as well. My energy levels today are amazing, my mood is amazing. I am thankful. #mastectomyrecovery #mastectomy #breastcancer #breastreconstruction #positivevibes #fightlikeagirl #fuckcancer #surgery #recovery #survivor https://www.instagram.com/p/BmeQJ_ylMq_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=cv2rl5bhcotw

Rep. Elijah Cummings’ Wife Maya Thanks Everyone For Prayers After Successful Double Mastectomy, Preps To Run For Husband's Seat + Republican Woman Who Attacked Cummings Runs For His Seat Too

Maya Rockeymoore Cummings – the widow of late congressman Elijah Cummings – thanks everyone for the outpouring of love following a successful double mastectomy. Yes, she still plans on running for her late husband’s Congressional seat. And so is Republican/Trump supporter Kimberly Klacik. More inside…

On the same day Maya Rockeymoore Cummings announced to run to fill out the remainder of her late husband/ Maryland Congressman Elijah E. Cummings’ term in Congress, she announced she was undergoing a preventative double mastectomy at John Hopkins Hospital. The surgery was a success and she’s now recovering before she hops back on the campaign trail for her late husband's 7th Congressional District seat.

During her announcement, the 48-year-old revealed her mother died of stage 4 breast cancer in 2015. Last year, her younger sister was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer and she decided to undergo a double mastectomy as a pre-emptive measure. She also said she had a good friend who was under the age of 40 recently die from the disease.

Before Cummings’ passing, she said he went with her to her doctor’s appointment and they decided she would go through with the preventative surgery and that the surgery date was scheduled long before her husband’s death. After the surgery (that went down last Friday), she sent an email out, revealing the surgery was a success. We can't even imagine the strength this takes, especially while grieving.

   Yesterday, she hopped on Instagram to thank everyone for the outpouring of love, support, and prayers she received:

          View this post on Instagram

                  My name is Maya Rockeymoore Cummings. I want to thank everyone for their prayers and well wishes during my recent preventative double mastectomy. I am doing well and my heart is full from the overwhelming support I have received. One in 8 women and 1 in 1,000 men are at risk of getting breast cancer in their lifetimes. Unfortunately, my mother died of breast cancer and my sister was diagnosed with it last year. We must take charge of our health. That’s why I urge you to conduct regular self exams, get an annual mammogram, and lead healthy lifestyles and encourage others to do so as well. Please visit Susan G Komen at Komen.org and the Black Women’s Health Imperatice at bwhi.org for more information. It’s time to save more lives. #breastcancerawareness #breastcancerawarenessmonth #breastcancer #mastectomy #mastectomyrecovery #doublemastectomy #prevention #cancerprevention #curecancer #women #blackwomen #komenforthecure #komen #blackwomenshealthimperative #health #healthy

A post shared by Maya Rockeymoore Cummings (@rockeymoorecummings) on Nov 21, 2019 at 5:41am PST

"My name is Maya Rockeymoore Cummings. I want to thank everyone for their prayers and well wishes during my recent preventative double mastectomy. I am doing well and my heart is full from the overwhelming support I have received," she captioned a picture of herself. She then encouraged others (women and men) to take charge of their health and get screened.

"We must take charge of our health. That’s why I urge you to conduct regular self exams, get an annual mammogram, and lead healthy lifestyles and encourage others to do so as well," she said.

Maya plans on getting back to business once she's fully recovered.

"Most importantly, we are so glad that Maya is healthy and recovering, and she’s looking forward to getting back on the campaign trail in a few weeks," Tucker Cavanagh, Cummings's campaign manager, said in a statement.

Congressman Cummings passed away on October 17th. He was 68-years-old. Elijah and Maya tied the knot in 2009. She was elected chairwoman of the Maryland Democratic Party in December 2018. She resigned the party chair position to clear the way for her congressional run.

Thank God she's on the road to recovery as there are plenty of folks gunning for Rep. Elijah Cummings' (D-MD) congressional seat, including Republican/Trump supporter Kimberly Klacik.

    Did you donate $250 & over to my campaign? I’ll be giving you a call tomorrow. I am truly thankful for the support & want to thank you personally.

All donors will receive something in the mail from me soon. Every penny means the to me!https://t.co/sDJbWLtWbr to donate pic.twitter.com/5imbR23x71

Rising Republican strategist Kimberly Klacik announced that she will run for the late Rep. Elijah Cummings' congressional seat. The unmitigated gall. She’s the Baltimore County Republican official who put up social media posts/videos about trash in West Baltimore that prompted President Trump to verbally attack Rep. Cummings. Trump used her videos during his attacks against the city.

The 37-year-old filed for the special election in the 7th Congressional District, a seat Cummings held for more than two decades. Right after making her announcement, she quickly hopped on Twitter with claims that the "left" is attacking her.

  I have not been an announced candidate for more than 2 hours and the far left is already attacking me. I need your help now more than ever. Baltimore deserves better https://t.co/sDJbWLtWbr https://t.co/wvZKmUAgiv

Not aesthetically pleasing, but bored as he shops for work shoes 😂 This weekend has been bad in terms of pain, self doubt, etc. Today I not only put on leggings (which I just started wearing after my surgery because they were easy) but a crop hoodie as well! Two items of clothes I’d never thought I’d wear - especially together! Oh, and this backpack purse that I got for $15 at Walmart is amazing to carry my wallet, meds, and protein bar in since I can’t carry a regular purse for quite some time. $15 is actually a lot to spend on myself but it was essential, though I still feel guilty. Today, I choose happiness. Today was spent window shopping to distract me, Today was spent getting enough groceries for the week (this is rare for us)! Including some healthy low sugar snacks for me and of course Quest bars! I know everyday isn’t going to be good, I could feel horrible in an hour but I’m soaking up the good every second I can 💖 #mastectomy #mastectomyrecovery #breastcancer #fightlikeagirl #survivor #happiness #positivevibes #mentalhealth #bopo #bodypositive #recovery #edwarrior #anxiety https://www.instagram.com/p/Bmq38oOlb1B/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1g0f8tyhkhsna

KEEP THAT HEAD HIGH, GIRL 💖 Today it’s been 4 weeks since my Mastectomy with DTI Reconstruction. It’s been 15 days since I learned I had a malignant tumor. Recovery has not been easy, I’ve had more bad days than good but TODAY is a GOOD day 🙌 Yes, I’m still in pain. Am I relying on more than Tylenol? NOPE! Yes, I’m still going through the emotions of losing my breasts. Yes, I’m dealing with a little bump in the road known as axillary web syndrome. You know what, though? This surgery has changed me as a person. I’m so grateful I pushed myself away from fear, away from irrational thoughts and 4 weeks ago decided (thankfully now that I know my tumor was malignant and closely related to the cancer my Grandma passed from) to go for it. Of course I was terrified. This surgery made me realize what’s tattooed on my shoulder - FEAR IS A LIAR 💪🏻 Since my surgery I’ve been pushing myself, pushing myself mentally in stuff I couldn’t do previously due to my panic disorder, due to my EDNOS, due to my mental road blocks. I wouldn’t leave my apartment for weeks at a time because of fear, because I needed to keep up with my disordered over exercising routine, because I let my agoraphobia win. I didn’t drive for years out of fear - before TODAY that is 🙌 I drove myself to see my breast surgeon and I couldn’t be prouder of myself. I haven’t driven in so many years. I am so thankful. With it being week 4 of recovery that means I haven’t exercised in over 4 weeks and I’m okay with that because my body is treating me amazing through recovery and I know I’ll get my stamina back and be stronger than ever. It’s amazing what a positive attitude can do - I love my life on this side 💖 #mastectomy #mastectomyrecovery #breastcancer #survivor #fightlikeagirl #agoraphobia #fear #anxiety #mentalhealth #ednos #edwarrior #girlswithtattoos #fearless #strongwoman #bopo #bodypositive #positivevibes #scars #loveyourself https://www.instagram.com/p/Bmlt7CPlLfD/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=dg2k6kvmbm5v
