I walk at least 3 miles a day, most days. I walk 30 minutes to a Leslie SANSONE walking video. That gives me 2 miles. The rest is just going about my day. It helps to keep my weight in check.

Since starting anastrozole in January 2018, I've had a number of side effects, but the one which I didn't expect was losing a bit over a pound each month. (I have a friend who reacted similarly, so I don't think it's too unusual.) The joint and bone pains have stopped now, or at least for the time being. I do a 20-minute mile each afternoon to overcome the insomnia. The one side effect which I truly hate is what it has done to my skin... and apparently it's just something I must learn to live with....
