Hello all! What ideas do you have for the training logs? The ones provided are pretty lengthy to use every day and I was wondering how others are keeping track of their workouts. Do you carry a notebook to the gym, create your own spreadsheets? One sheet per day seems like a lot of paper!!
Thanks in advance for any ideas!
Hello azkellysue, I used a standard Training Log for my first challenge that I got at a Barnes and Nobles store at the mall and it served quite well for many details. For the last two BFL Challenges I got on line (E-bay site) for each challenge the Body fo Life SUccess Journal which seems to keep me more on track and intune with my progress than the prior one. They may still be floating around out there on various e type websites or in a local book store as well. Hope this helps out, Keep Moving Forward!
I carry a hardback Moleskin, reporter style and I just write my stuff down in roughly the format of the guide given in the book.
azkellysue, every person does it differently I guess, you can see what ideas work best for you. I like the way it is working for me and this is what I did. I printed 3 copies of the cardio workout sheets (since you do cardio 3 times a week), 2 copies of Upper Body workout sheets (since one week you do upper body only once and the next week you do it twice and same with Lower body), 2 copies of the Lower Body workout sheet and then I made 6 copies of the daily meal plan tracking sheet for meal planning from Monday to Saturday - 6 days. THEN what I did was use those as a master, arrange the sheets like my week would go as follow: workout sheet followed by meal plan for the day for 6 days. (Upper Body, Meal Plan, Cardio, Meal Plan, Lower Body, Meal Plan, Cardio, Meal Plan, Upper Body, Meal Plan, Cardio, Meal plan - this is 6 days of work out and meal plans). And then I used that master and copied what I needed for that week DOUBLE SIDED, work out on the front meal plan on the back. I put them on a clip board and I have the whole week on a clip board. I take that clipboard with me to the gym, follow the work out plan, when I get home I turn the page over and follow the meal plan for the day. The next day I do the same all over again. I love it that I made all these double sided copies, enough for the whole 12 weeks. So each week I grab a new stack the way the workouts alternate for that week and I feel ready for the whole 12 week. Maybe my style is more complicated or too much work for you. But I love organizing and I feel very organized this way. I didn't know there was a journal out there like WPBill says. I would have loved to have one made already too, but had to figure something out on my own. But try and see what you like best.

Introduction: Catherine L. Gibbon
Little information is publicly known about Catherine L. Gibbon and her achievements. The legacy of her invention remains in tact because of the 1892 case file compiled by The Franklin Institute's Committee on Science and the Arts. Although details of Gibbon's life are sketchy, a glimpse of her scientific accomplishment is possible through exploration of the century-old documents found here.
What did Catherine Gibbon invent, and what impact did her improvements have on transportation?
These pages hold the answers to these questions and tell the fascinating story of one woman's inventions.
Application from Catherine L. Gibbon to Committee on Science and the Arts, Respectfully requesting examination of the merits of "my improvement in Street Railway Track Construction..." (1.1M)

The new precipitation year began July 1 and after four months the Lake Almanor Basin has accumulated 2.10 inches, or about 63 percent of the long-term average.
Almost all of that arrived in early October, either as rain or in the form of two inches of wet snow. A slow start to the precipitation season is relatively common for this region as we complete our customary summer drought period.

Henrietta's father, Henry Lunt, said goodbye to her in 1885 when he moved to Mexico but they corresponded frequently. Henrietta received a letter from Colonia Pacheco, Chihuahua Mexico from her father dated Nov. 5, 1900. I t reads as follows: "My dear Henrietta, Your letter was received with many thanks. illways glad to hear from you. Sorry to hear of Willard's finger being bad. Was very much interested in reading Willard's lettrr that he wrote to you, I am very sorry that I have not time to write him. I think surely he will be coming home soon. I received a very nice lctter from Eva (Jed's wife) and one from Maude and Dan (Henrietta's sister and husband) 'and one from Florence (Henrietta's sister) and would like to write to them all but it is too great a labor and they must excuse me but tell them all to write again as often as they can. I would like to write to Lamoni. (Jed and Eva's oldest son) I received a note from each of Henry's two boys but I can't answer just now, but perhaps will sometime. I wish that some of my old friends that are able would remember their old Bishop now that he needs a friend. O u r Stake Conference will be held on the 18th and 19th of this month. Sarah and I start in the morning, Edward will dri\.e. We have to go to get some things. President Joseph F. Smith will be there. Apostle Woodruff, Pres. Ivans and Pratt are hunting today at Cave Valley. Brother Woodruff killed a deer and a turkey a few days ago as they went to Chinachupa. My cancer is about the same, my sight very poor. Broughton is out hunting today. We have hired Alice Rowley to look after Sarah's family while she's off. Aunt Ellen is much the same as she has k e n . Annie is much better. How's Lehi prospering with his stock and Henry (Leigh) with the sheep? Glad to see that you have had a zood storm. Many happy returns of your birthday. Owen is going to be baptized today, 8 yrs. old. God hless you all. H. Lunt."" l\'hile Willard was on his mission, his finger became infected. I t started with a felon on the end of the forefinger of his right hand. The infection eventually became so serious that it was necessary to amputate the finger to the first joint. Apparently this did not take away the infection. After two more operations, and the complete removal of the finger, the infection was eliminated and it healed properly. Henry Lunt referred to this in the preceeding letter." In 1900, it was so dry that the people could not plant crops. Lehi \V. took Henry out of school on March lst, and sent him and Orson Tyler over the mountain with a hig load of grain, lumber, and seeds to plant down by the lower herd at North Fork. Henry said they "went over the mountain drv shod," meaning that it was dry all the way and there was no snow. They plowed up the soil and later planted a garden and grain. They built a granary there on the plains and completely 139

Two Sides, One Story
Wynton Marsalis:"These brothers have a true bond and closeness unscarred by any hint of rivalry or smallness that has become the legend of brothers since Cain and Abel. This recording gives us the opportunity to know what they knew all along: these brothers can play."
Two Sides, One Story:"The Mason brothers' first album, expresses Brad's and Elliot's musical journey as brothers, culminating in a shared creative vision that reflects each musician's individual perspective. This vision was brought to life in a musical story told by master storytellers."

Section III: Culturally Sensitive Terminology
University Nondiscrimination Policy
Illinois Wesleyan University does not discriminate on the basis of age, race, religion, sex, sexual orientation including gender identity and expression, disability or national origin in its admissions policies, educational programs and activities or employment policies. Inquiries regarding the nondiscrimination policy should be directed to the Office of the President, Illinois Wesleyan University, P.O. Box 2900, Bloomington, IL 61702-2900.
Illinois Wesleyan University expressly recognizes the requirements of Title IX legislation. Title IX complaints should be reported to the University's Title IX coordinator, who is the who is the Associate Provost (211 Holmes Hall, (309) 556-3255).
Illinois Wesleyan University does not discriminate on the basis of disability in admission or access to, or treatment or employment in, its programs and activities. The Vice President for Business and Finance, the Vice President for Student Affairs/Dean of Students, and the Associate Provost are designated by the University to coordinate all efforts to comply with Section 504 and its implementing regulation 34 C.F.R. Part 104 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. All questions should be directed to the University compliance coordinators indicated above.
Preferred Terminology
American Indian
Synonymous with Native American, though choice should be left to individual or group preference. Use specific identification, such as Sioux or Navajo, whenever appropriate.
Use to express dual heritage for someone of Asian descent. However, when appropriate, use a more specific identification, such as Japanese-American.
The preferred AP style: Use African-American or African American if quoted or as part of an organization's name. Preference should be left to individuals or groups.
To avoid gender-bias in written materials when possible, gender-neutral terms should be used.
When appropriate, substitute non-gendered terms for those with masculine or feminine markers.
e.g. firefighter, police officer, flight attendant, server
Not: fireman/firewoman, policeman/policewoman, steward/stewardess, waiter/waitress
Avoid substituting person for man.
e.g. chair
Not: chairman, chairwoman, or chairperson
Exception: official titles including the terms chairman or chairwoman
When appropriate, write in the plural.
e.g. All students must meet with their professors.
Not: Each student must meet with his professor.
Never: Each student must meet with their professor.
When appropriate, write in the second person.
e.g. Students, you should bring your books to class.
Not: Each student should bring his books to class.
Avoid the third-person singular, gendered pronouns.
e.g. Each applicant submitted a resume.
Not: Each applicant submitted his resume.
Avoid slash constructions. If necessary, write he or she.
e.g. All performers played their instruments.
Not: Each performer played his/her instrument.
AP style notes that a few terms are still used to provide gender specificity. If desired, use of these terms may be avoided by substituting a verb for a noun.
e.g. host/hostess; Mrs. Smith was the hostess.
Instead: Mrs. Smith hosted the party.
Some proper terminology is gender specific.
e.g. alumna/alumnae/alumni/alumnus
When using terms such as these generally, the masculine/all plural form alumni is preferred. When using one of these terms in reference to one specific person, the gender specific should be used.
e.g. All alumni were recognized.
Not: Each alumnus was recognized.
Exception: Dr. Mona Gardner is an alumna of the University of Cincinnati.
See also Emerita, emeritae, emeriti, emeritus under Section II.
See also Alumna, alumnae, alumni, alumnus under Section II.
Hyphens are often used in conjunction with "American," particularly in the cases of Indian-American, Italian-American, and Mexican-American, etc.; however, choice should be left to individual or group preference.
Exception: American Indian, Native American
See also Hyphens under Section II.
Use to express heritage for someone whose ethnic origin is in a Spanish-speaking country. Some prefer the term Latino (masculine) or Latina (feminine). Use a more specific identification when appropriate, such as Cuban-American.
Use the term multi-denominational to describe a service that covers all Christian denominations; the regular IWU Chapel Hour is an example of this. The term non-denominational typically refers to Christian religions that develop their own specific beliefs, which vary from church to church. The term interfaith refers to services that include two or more religions.
Capitalize the names of religious orders and the terms applied to their members.
e.g. They are members of the Roman Catholic Church; They are Catholic
Do not capitalize terms such as church when used descriptively.
e.g. a Roman Catholic church
Terms such as rabbi or priest follow the same rules as other titles.
See also Titles under Section II.
The preferred term for someone who is either gay or a lesbian is homosexual, though it is acceptable to use either. Bisexual may be used for someone who is sexually attracted to members of both sexes. Transgender should be used for an individual whose self-identified gender diverges from his or her assigned gender. Transgender individuals may identify themselves as heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, pansexual or asexual. Use transsexualonly when referring to an individual who has undergone a sex change operation. However, choice of terminology should be left to individual or group preference.

Coach Williams is a great coach and has done an amazing job at A&M. He was fired up to coach with Sumlin and the incoming recruiting class. Aggie nation is thankful for his help in closing up a top recruiting class and wish him the best in the NFL!! Gig 'em!!
When Kevin Sumlin took over in College Station, he retained one member of Mike Sherman's old Texas A&M staff. Now that coach has up and gone on his own.
Defensive line coach Terrell Williams has left the Aggies to join the staff of first-year Oakland Raiders coach Dennis Allen. Allen just happens to be a former A&M player. And Williams happens to be a California native.
Sumlin will now begin the search for a new D-line coach to fill out his initial staff at A&M.

The Placer County Redevelopment Agency will be opening an office on the North Shore of Lake Tahoe in Kings Beach, California. The office is located at 8697 North Lake Tahoe Blvd., and will be open to the public two days a week when renovations are completed in March. Office hours are planned for Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m.
The satellite office will give the Agency a more consistent presence in the Tahoe Basin. With numerous projects in the development, planning and construction phases on the North Shore, having a permanent RDA office with regular hours will enable residents and other interested parties in the area to drop by and discuss the Agency's work. The Redevelopment Agency hopes that having staff in the Basin will improve relationships with the public and other governmental entities that deal with Lake Tahoe issues.
Until renovations to the new RDA building in Kings Beach are finished, Agency staff will be available in the Placer County Department of Public Works' offices at 7717 North Lake Blvd., in Kings Beach. The present telephone number for the Agency is 530-546-1953. Any members of the public who would like to schedule a meeting with staff during regular Tahoe office hours should call 530-745-3171.

The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders have added to their long history of supporting troops and military families with their 75th USO tour appearance as they spread holiday cheer to servicemen and women in the Middle East. Among the most traveled of USO tour veterans, the DCC have traveled to more than 200 locations since their first USO tour in 1979, lifting the spirits and delivering a touch of home to countless troops and military families around the world. (See more images in our DCC Flickr set.)
Members from the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders sign autographs on Dec. 26 as part of their mission to extend America's gratitude to our servicemen and women.
"The USO and the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders have been delivering life-changing experiences to troops and military families for more than 30 years," said USO President and CEO Sloan Gibson. "We are both proud and thankful for the DCC's continued commitment to supporting our troops and their families. This 75th tour is a momentous occasion in USO history and we couldn't be happier about sharing this milestone with an organization like the DCC."
The ladies help to get our men and women serving overseas in the Middle East in the holiday spirit on Dec. 26.
"We've seen so many servicemen and women so far and it's been a blast," said Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader Cassie Trammell. "We are so grateful for the opportunity to extend America's thanks to our troops during this holiday season, a time when they miss their families and comforts of home the most. Being able to distract them, even for just a little while, from what they are missing back home is such an honor for all of us."
Servicemen and women in the Middle East applaud as members of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders perform on Dec. 26.
The ladies chat up the crew of the USS Dextrous.

Courtesy: CMU Athletic Communications
Release: 04/16/2012
Tom Borrelli has built a wrestling dynasty in his 22 seasons as the head coach at Central Michigan.
His tenure has seen the Chippewas claim 13 Mid-American Conference titles and 14 MAC Championships crowns, including 11 straight from 2002-12. CMU has boasted multiple All-Americans nine of the past 10 seasons and a total of 12 times under Borrelli's watch. His 38 total All-Americans rank eighth among active NCAA Division I head coaches.
The Chippewas' dominance of the MAC under Borrelli has been nothing short of remarkable. CMU has won 75 of its last 79 conference outings. Overall, the Chippewas are 95-15 in MAC duals under Borrelli.
Borrelli became the school's all-time wins leader while leading the Chippewas to their 10th consecutive conference crown in 2008. A 19-16 victory over No. 11 Ohio State at National Duals was Borrelli's 196th career victory, passing Chick Sherwood's mark of 195 wins from 1965-89. Borrelli's mark as the Chippewas' mentor currently stands at 260-109-7 overall.
Borrelli later earned his 300th career victory (22 years at CMU, 5 at Lake Superior State University) in a 49-0 win over Sacred Heart on Dec. 17, 2011.
A well-respected coach on the national level, Borrelli was honored by his peers when he was presented with the National Wrestling Coaches Association Bob Bubb Coaching Excellence Award at the 2004 NCAA Championships. The annual award is given to one coach in each division in recognition of his contribution to the sport.
Borrelli has coached one national champion, 38 All-Americans, eight MAC Wrestler of the Year honorees, 80 MAC champions, 132 national qualifiers, eight NWCA All-Academic first team selections, 40 Academic All-MAC first team selections and ten MAC Freshman of the Year selections.
Just as important as the Chippewas' performance on the mat is their achievement in the classroom. CMU wrestling has finished in the top 16 nationally in team GPA in 15 of the past 17 seasons. The Chippewas peaked with a third-place ranking in 1994 and 2003.
Central Michigan won the 2013 MAC regular season title, posting a 5-0 record in conference duals. Borrelli coached two MAC Champions during the 2013 campaign en route to a second place team finish. Five Central Michigan wrestlers earned automatic bids to the NCAA postseason following their performances at the MAC Championships in addition to three at-large bids.
Seven Chippewas earned automatic bids to the 2012 NCAA Championships after a dominant performance at the MAC Championships. CMU collected five individual titles and four third-place finishes to win the championship with 89 points. Ben Bennett (184 pounds) claimed his third straight All-America honor, finishing sixth at 184 pounds, while sophomore Joe Roth (125 pounds) was named the MAC Championships' Most Outstanding Wrestler. The Chippewas' performance netted Borrelli his record 12th MAC Coach of the Year honor, while Bennett was named MAC Wrestler of the Year.
In 2011, Borrelli molded a young and inexperienced team into a championship contender. The Chippewas shared the MAC regular season title with Kent State and Ohio, marking CMU's 12th conference title in 13 seasons. CMU continued its dominance at the conference tournament, scoring 79 points to claim its 10th consecutive MAC Championships title. Scotti Sentes (133), Ben Bennett (174) and Jarod Trice (285) each won individual titles and earned automatic bids to the NCAA Championships.
Sentes, Bennett and Trice each earned All-America honors as CMU finished in a tie for 13th at the NCAA Championships, its fifth straight top-15 finish and seventh in the last eight seasons.

Seven years ago, Jamila's husband died in a car accident leaving her with four children to support and no independent means to do so. So she moved in with her brother, but continued to struggle to pay school fees. Yearning to be independent and provide for her children's future, she turned to a friend who told her about Accion partner Akiba Commercial Bank in Tanzania.
>In February of this year, she applied for and received a small loan which she used to purchase corrugated tin to house a rudimentary baking oven and flour, sugar and butter in bulk – the makings of a tiny bakery. Today, with the loan as a tiny catalyst, Jamila's business is thriving. She bakes over 1,000 cupcakes a day which she sells to local businesses. Not only that, she's also hired an assistant – and in turn empowered someone else with the means for a brighter future. Most importantly for Jamila, the loan has helped her during a tough transition... and now her children have plenty to eat and are able to remain in school.

After beating cancer, Ottawa hockey player Chris Kushneriuk looks to resume his career
Chris Kushneriuk, healthy again after beating cancer
The last time we spoke with Chris Kushneriuk he was at the Indiana University Cancer Center awaiting stem cell treatments and chemotherapy.
It was early December, 2012, and Kushneriuk, a pro hockey player from Gloucester, had just been told by Canadian doctors he had about six months to live. Some Christmas present.
Kushneriuk's supreme hockey conditioning, though it would ultimately prove a weapon, was no defence against the initial cancer, his body ravaged by what began as testicular cancer but which had spread to his liver, kidney and lymph nodes. Your basic nightmare scenario.
As he spoke by phone from Indianapolis, in the care of Lance Armstrong's cancer doctor, Lawrence Einhorn, Chris was a few weeks away from his 26th birthday, still talking positively, convinced this was a battle he could win.
Happily, 14 months later we can report that Kushneriuk is not only alive and well, he's been cleared to play hockey again and is looking to sign with an ECHL team in the near future. If we were to take out a classified ad on Chris' behalf, it might read like this: Wanted, a roster spot for a player of unparalleled heart and will. Team-first type, leader, survivor. Ready to report immediately.
Small wonder that when Kushneriuk resumes his hockey career, he has a gift in mind for Dr. Einhorn.
"I'm definitely going to give him my next jersey, for whichever team I play," Kushneriuk says. "He saved my life, he deserves a jersey."
And then Chris laughs at the tradeoff. A jersey for a life.
The journey Kushneriuk took to arrive at this point is a story of personal triumph and modern medicine, but also a tale of friendship and community hockey support that made it possible for Chris to afford the type of bold surgical treatment that defied the initial doomsday prognosis.
Now training in Pittsburgh at his Alma Mater, Robert Morris University, Kushneriuk is grateful and invigorated by having gone a full year cancer-free, his odds of a relapse down to two per cent.
"I don't even think about it," Kushneriuk says by telephone.
"It's amazing how people undervalue peace of mind. Every day waking up now, without having to worry about it, without having that burden on my mind, it's absolutely wonderful."
Renewed in spirit and body, it's as though the ordeal never happened: the June, 2012 surgery in Ottawa to remove an infected testicle; the cycles of chemotherapy to which the cancer became resistant; then the bold step of committing to the best American medical care money can buy – stem cell treatments, bone marrow transplants, invasive surgery to internal organs, followed by blasts of intensive chemotherapy, and then months of oral chemo.
Regarding the eight-hour surgery in Indianapolis in March, 2013, Chris calls it a 4-in-1 procedure: 35 per cent of his liver was removed, and his entire left kidney, plus his gall bladder and some infected lymph nodes.
"Sometimes I wonder what is left in his body," says Chris' father, John Kushneriuk. "Did they put stuff back in after the operation?"
A young man of deep faith, Chris believes it was all part of a providential plan.
"I feel back to normal, I'm re-energized," Chris says. "Yeah, I guess there's a reason I'm still here."
When it all began, with some discomfort in his side as he finished out the 2011-12 ECHL season with the Bakersfield Condors, Kushneriuk had no idea what was at the root of it. He'd played through the pain, putting it down to the usual bumps and bruises of hockey, and his own rigorous style of play. At 6-feet, 195 pounds, typically topped with curly hair and an infectious grin, there wasn't much Chris Kushneriuk couldn't overcome.
Never the most talented hockey player, Kushneriuk only found success in the game through will and determination. He didn't play as high as AA hockey in Ottawa until he had a growth spurt at 16, generating newfound speed, which helped him earn a spot on the midget Gloucester Rangers. Coached by Darrell Campbell, the Rangers reached the provincial championships.
Kushneriuk went on to play Jr. A hockey with the Kanata Stallions and Orleans Blues, before a stirring Division I career at RMU, where he captained the Colonials and was twice named the team's most inspirational player.
In the pros, Kushneriuk spent parts of two seasons with the Wheeling Nailers - scoring an overtime winner in a Game 7 playoff series in 2011 - and then then split the 2011-12 season between Wheeling and Bakersfield.
The pain in the side was bothersome, but Kushneriuk was stunned in June of 2012 when he learned the discomfort stemmed from stage 4 testicular cancer, which had already spread to vital organs. It wasn't until later that he asked for and received the grim diagnosis, vowing to beat the odds.
The physical toll of cancer, treatments, recovery, was one issue - the financial burden on the family another altogether. John Kushneriuk was out of work at the time of the cancer diagnosis and used up all of his life savings, about $145,000, to help Chris "get in the door" at the Indiana University Cancer Center. (John has since successfully received long-term disability support). Chris' mother, Lise, stayed with Chris in Indianapolis at a furnished apartment provided by a faith-based charity near the treatment centre.
The final medical bill was about $340,000, and John Kushneriuk believes all loans will be paid off in a year. Fortunately, Chris' guardian angels helped cover more than $120,000 through fund-raising efforts in Ottawa, the ECHL clubs in Bakersfield and Wheeling and via the RMU Colonials, who dedicated their entire 2012-13 season to Kushneriuk. The gesture seemed to charm the Colonials, who went on to their most successful season in the school's nine-year Division I history. When RMU won the Three Rivers tournament for the first time, the players brought Kushneriuk's game jersey onto the ice as part of the celebration.
Fittingly, Kushneriuk is back at RMU, practicing with the Colonials under head coach John Schooley, who had recruited Kushneriuk and once said of Chris' early cancer diagnosis: "If anyone is going to beat this, it's going to be him because of his fighting spirit."
That fighting spirit or what John Kushneriuk calls his son's "strength of character," helped Chris forge his way back into playing condition, from the depths of being a 150-pound cancer patient, 45 pounds below his playing weight, to a 190-pound player again.
"It was scary how little I was – I could wrap my hand around my quadriceps," Kushneriuk says.
Job one was recuperating from the invasive surgery.
"The liver rejuvenated after six weeks, which is pretty phenomenal, but within that six weeks your body is allocating every ounce of energy it can to regenerate that organ," Kushneriuk says.
"I remember being so fatigued. And that's why I was losing all my weight, my metabolism sped up so much that anything I could eat would just go to regenerating that organ. I was losing probably a pound a day."
By the summer of 2013, Kushneriuk was back skating regularly in Ottawa, sharing the ice with Senators winger Chris Neil, one of Kushneriuk's favorite players, and other NHLers. Claude Giroux, Erik Gudbranson and Michael Blunden were among the pros who supported Kushneriuk with "Krush Cancer" charity hockey games.
Chris' father continues to be amazed by the "young people" who have helped his son.
"He still hangs out with the same kids he pretty much grew up with," John says. "He played hockey with them down at the outdoor rink at Combermere. I've known them for years, but I'm so impressed by the quality of people they are."
For the past several weeks, Kushneriuk has been undergoing a full training regimen, lifting weights four times a week, skating five times a week, plus a road run.
He's hoping to catch on soon with an ECHL team, possibly the Wheeling Nailers, where his pro career began. With the NHL in hiatus for the Olympics, minor pro rosters are somewhat stable, but a single injury at a higher level can spark a chain reaction of openings below. Kushneriuk believes he can catch on with a club in need of a forward, and agent Chad Watkins is acting on his behalf.
Ideally, the 27-year-old Kushneriuk gets a spot before the next wave of college players becomes available.
"I can get back to what I was," Kushneriuk says. "Right now, I feel like I'm in that spot."
"From what I've been through, that should actually help my case – to show that when I get knocked down, I'm committed to getting myself back up."
Kushneriuk is willing to sign a waiver freeing a team of liability should any cancer-related issues arise.
"I know that's going to be in the back of their minds," Kushneriuk says. "I just want them to focus on the hockey aspect of it, and not everything else I've been through.
"That's all in the past now. If I've been cleared by the biggest expert in the world in the (cancer) industry, then they should have nothing to worry about."
Next week, Chris and his Ottawa girlfriend, Christiane Lalonde, are flying to Bakersfield, California, to be part of the 10th annual Hockey-Thon on Feb. 22-23, a cancer fund-raising initiative that includes a Condors alumni game in which Kushneriuk will play.
If he can, Chris will finagle a skate with the Condors and perhaps even with the visiting Las Vegas Wranglers, who play the Condors on the Saturday. The Wranglers are another possibility for Kushneriuk, who is a pal of Vegas goaltender Mitch O'Keefe, of Almonte.
Part of Kushneriuk's motivation to get back to where he was as a pro, is tied up in a mission to be a role model for others dealing with cancer.
"I just hope it leads somewhere with regard to hockey," he says. "I know my whole story and what's happened to me can be inspirational. I know I trained through through other people's similar circumstances and situations. There might be someone out there that needs that kind of hope, and if I can give it by still being here, then that's great."
