Today I'm starting my walking...and it's fricken hot outside. Hopefully I'll make it back before the storm hits.

Dr.'s Orders

Now some of you might have been following me whether it be facebook, or my main blog may know that I have had quit the year with health. I was put on a very high dose of steroids back in late Jan. of 80 mg. and today my dose is down to 5 mg. I was diagnosed with Wegener's Granulamatosis back in Jan. Steroids and Chemo were a part of the treating process. About 2 months ago I was taken off of the Chemo and am now on a maintenance drug called Immurane. (spell?) During this time I have packed on a serious amount of weight. I was mad as hell that these drugs were making me fatter. And didn't want people looking at me like I was some lazy fat girl who didn't know how to control my eating habits. Dont get me wrong I like my sweets and can go a bit overboard at times but ...... NOW.....my doctor has given me orders to be on a 1800 cal. diet. I've never counted cal. before, I was usually a points follower through W.W. I think I'm going to get back on the W.W. train. But will try it at home for a while. This weekend I will pull a few recipes together to make in advance for my work week.
