Impatient to feel good again

My body feels old. I was told the fatigue from chemo is cumulative and I am feeling that today. It seems like the Tuesday after chemo I am exhausted, maybe it is the steroids wearing off.
I miss my body, what I was capable of before. I took Mimi for a walk today and it totally wore me out. 

I also am sick of looking sick. I am as bald as can be, and have no eyebrows or eyelashes left.  The steroids have made me puffy and bloated and because I have little energy I know I have gained weight during chemo. I wonder when I can really work out again like a hardcore workout. If by some miracle I can do a couple before surgery I would be happy.   My plan is to start with yoga and pilates, and maybe the elliptical too and go from there. I know I have to listen to my body. 

Women on my support group talk about the fatigue sticking around for quite some time and that's the last thing I want to hear! I am impatient to feel good again!
