Ummm no just stopped taking it.
I was taking 1 a day. And forgot for like 2 days and just figured I might as well just let it go.
What kinda bad thing will happen?

OH NO Bell, my hubby had a really bad reaction to Prednisone, he actually had to be taken to the ER last year, it hit him like a ton of bricks. He had some reaction that made his heart race, made him so dizzy he passed out at work, it was weird!! He'll never take that stuff again, NOPE, It freaked me out!

Hope your Thanksgiving is a good one!!! Are you making anything special?

Sorry to hear that hubby had such a bad reaction. At least I never had that happen.
As for the making something special..........nope dh does all the cooking.
I just step in when the taters need mashed or something needs stirred.
And of course I am always available to make sure something taste just right! lol
Happy Turkey Day to you too~

Bella, for a one day dosage, nothing needs to be done, you're fine. Basically if you take it for a longer period, it can drop your adrenaline production, because it is essentially taking it's place, if that makes sense? The upshot is that if you just drop it, without weaning off of it, you could get some nasty side effects because your own body will not be ready to produce the necessary levels of adrenaline yet, having functioned at a reduced level for a while. Reducing dosages causes your body to ramp up adrenal production back to normal levels.

Hmmm, maybe that is why I have been feeling so tired in the last week? That is if I am understanding you correctly. Feeling better today though so maybe I am on the upswing.
Thanks for the concern. I would never have known that it was a big deal. And I will definately keep it in mind for next time I am on the "more than a pill a day" dose.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

Hope you reach Onderland again if you haven't yet, already!

Good News!!!!!
I have been released to go back to my regular scheduled exercises!!!!
YEAH!!!
Of course as luck would have it I can't go to class tonight since I already have plans. LOL
But definately tomorrow I am back on baby!!!!
Woohoo!

All right!!! Hope your shoulder doesn't get irritated, take care of yourself!

Thanks Val!
I plan to take it easy. Don't want to reinjure myself. That would really SUCK!! Sure feels good to know that I can get back into this game.........finally.

I bet it does!

Take it easy hon and work back into it, but that's great news!

Don't get to see ya so often these days to take one of these with you

Wouldn't you know it. I get cleared to exercise again and I can't seem to find any time at all to actually work out. Everyday has been booked up solid with all kinds of things. Dinners out, dryer guys coming in, hubby wanting to take a road trip and shuttling mom here and there for doc appts. ACH!
As soon as I get off this thing I am heading out to the Y for some me time. I really need it and I am craving it soooo badly.
Shoulders continue to feel good. I am absolutely on cloud nine by the fact that I can actually get my right arm behind my back. Haven't been able to do that in years. Can't reach all the way up yet but can actually touch my bra. MAJOR IMROVEMENT!!!
It can only get better from here on out.
Had to go to 2 different dinners this week.
One was with my Secret Sister from church. I totally stunk it up this year with the gift giving. So I just went ahead and told her I was her sister and offered to take her to dinner and a movie. Tried to steer the dinner to Applebee's as they have there Weight Watcher menu. But she wanted Mexican. And since this was about her I let her choose. Saw 4 Christmas' by the way. Really Funny! That was on Monday nite.
Last nite we ended up going to a fancy shmancy dinner for a board of directers that hubby is on. Absolutely nothing there was low cal. So decided to just go with it and consider that my last supper. hahaha
So for today I have had
coffee w/ Splenda and 4 creamers from the Golden Arches,
fruit & yogurt parfait also from the Arches,
1 scrambled egg w/1 slice of 9 grain wheat bread with a smidge of butter,
1 small Wendy's chili and a side salad w/ 1/2 a packet of honey mustard dressing and a packet of croutons.
Tonight I am again eating dinner away from home. Heading over to MIL's place and of course nothing there will be low cal........again! But I have every intention of eating a small, very small, portion of dinner.
Now that I can get back to exercising I need to get the food back under control.
Whelp that's all there is.
Catch ya'll later!

Thanks for the hug! I needed it.
Here's one right back at'cha!
And don't worry, I don't plan to do ANYTHING that will put me back where I was before.
Thanks for the love.

Ahhhhh!
Got to the Y this afternoon just like I said I would. Felt great!!!
I stayed away from the weights doing cardio instead.
Hit the Arc Trainer for 20 minutes on the cardio setting. Thing kept cycling between a resistance of 20 to a resistance of 35. I was like "Whoaaaa Nelly" that first time it hit the 35! Made it thru though. Did forget to take off my hoodie before starting out so was a sweatie nasty mess by the time the 20 minutes was up. LOL
Jumped off the Arc Trainer and hopped on the Stationary Row. Went for about 15-17 minutes. Completing 2000 meters at a resistance level of 5. After that I headed over to the other side of the Center and worked on my obliques. Did 64 side obliques (32 each side) and then did some reverse sit-ups 22 exactly. By that time I had to run 'cuz my kids were gonna be gettin' out of school. I could of stayed for a whole lot longer.
The Daily Plate says that I burned 544 cals off. I tend to believe it because it was dead on with what the Arc Trainer said.
Ended up having dinner here at my house instead of at MIL's. Same food though.
Fried Plantains, white rice with beans, King's Hawaiian Sweet Rolls and Venison Back Strap.
All in all I did well.
1/2 cup of the rice
1/4 cup of the beans
1 roll
3oz of venison
and 3 small slices of fried Plantain.
Not bad if I don't say so myself.
And now that I know how many cals is in that rice!!!!! YIKES!! 160 cals per 1/4 of a cup!!! I don't think I will ever again mindlessly eat it.
Which is a shame since it is pretty much a staple of the Puerto Rican diet.
All in all it was a successful day.
With the exercise I was able to keep my cal counts just below the limits that I have set for myself.
Which is 1489 a day. The Daily Plate calculates at that level I should lose 2 pounds a week.
And like I said I came in lower than that today......1228. But that was only due to the exercise. Otherwise I was up and over.
Well gotta go.
My hubby is hollering about watching a show with him on TV so I will catch you all later, gators!!!

Today's been a pretty good day.
Didn't get my exercise in like I wanted since we had a new dryer coming. And you all know how that goes. Sit and wait forever 'til they get here. By the time they got here it was time to pick up the kids and we had small group at my house tonight. Thought about kicking it up on the elliptical after everyone left but then mom called needing me to pick up some meds for her as she wasn't feeling well. By the time I made it back home it was 9:30 and I just felt beat.
I am feeling pleasantly sore from my working out on the Row yesterday and from all the crunches.
I am playing with the idea of getting up early and heading into the Y to get my exercise in tomorrow. Only snag in that plan is I am volunteering at the school tomorrow and I have to work tomorrow nite. So I need all the sleep I can get.
But right now I really need to keep in the groove.
Food for the day:
coffee w 4 creamers/splenda
yogurt parfait
banana
1 oz almonds
2 lite cheese sticks
organic yogurt with vanilla whey powder and splenda
granny smith apple
3/4 of a Kashi Pizza (yummy)
single serving of jello
5 olives (craving salt)
oh and dh brought me a candy bar from Cabella's.
See I really need to get to the Y tomorrow! LOL
All for a total of 2010 cals!!!
YIKES!
Stupid Candy Bar.
I knew better than that too. If it wasn't for that candy bar I would have been below my cal level for the day by 4 cals.
Dumb Dumb Dumb
Now I absolutely need to get to the Y in the morning.
Catch ya all later.
Ciao
