Can The Adults Please Smoke? 37 and Looking Damn Fine..... — Page 97

Hola, peeps!

Back home and back to work. Not too bad so far, but the day is young!

Best of luck, You! I hope he's worthy of you!

Arm is SO much better after the CORRECT diagnosis and week 1 of steroid treatments. I returned to OT this morning for what I hope will be the end of this 6 month mess. Here's how I'm measuring success: At the Tony Awards, I couldn't clap my hands together since the right hand was immobilized. I look forward to being able to applaud Boobs on Sunday afternoon!

A nervous system malfunction known as complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). Usually only hits patients in their 20s to mid 40s, so at least one part of my body is still young!

No - massive dosages of prednisone. I am SO ALERT AT 2:00AM!!!!!!!!!!!!

I start tapering off this week.

Yay Moony. I am so glad the arm is on the mend!

How about those comps

Hallo.

Is it humping day?

Blue line shut down - 2 hour commute, but pleasant day and always interesting to be waiting for the bus with 200 people.

Maybe for you if your date goes well!

That is excellent! How did you lose the 40?

Very little processed sugar (which means no alcohol), no wheat, no red meat, 1100-1300 calories a day and working out about 5 times a week (either a 5 mile hike/walk or 1+ hours on the exercise bike). Lots of broccoli, chicken breasts, and salads. Lots of green tea and water.

But honestly, I think I was just ready to put some stuff down and (excuse the reference) let it go. It has never been this easy for me to lose weight, and for some reason, this time is different. I did this before and kept it off for about 10 years, then fell into the nasty valley I just climbed out of. I have not had cravings or the urge to cheat. I just don't want it. When in NY, I pretty much stuck to it. There are some protein bars that I use in a pinch if I cannot find anything healthy to eat which are very low in sugar.

I have another month or two to go to get off the last bit, and then the real challenge will be keeping it all off. And, buying clothes that fit. The shirts I can live with. The clown pants are getting a little annoying.

Honestly, after I get home from work, workout, and have some dinner, it is almost time for bed. Having the bike at home helps because I usually watch something on the TV while working out.

I would do it in the morning, but for better or worse, my pores love to open up, and it is better not to workout when I to apply makeup in the near future. And, my water bill has gone up between all of the extra laundry and showers!

I have never been a big sugar person, and my caloric intake was never huge and I was active, so I was at a loss as to why stuff was sticking to me. Like I said, something is different this time, and for me, I think there is a psychological component to all of this.

The hardest part was drinking iced tea when one business trips on an expense account! For the record, I did have one glass of wine at my friends wedding to toast the couple.

Yay! Just made my train reservation. Didn't make one for the return trip yet, because I'm not sure of the timing.

Gorgeous morning out there after horrific thunderstorms last night. the transformer down the street took a bolt of lightening @ 9:30 last night and we were without power until @ 3:00am.
