Okay, went to the doctor again yesterday and I am just taking AGES to get over my bronchitis bout from before Christmas. Every time I go to the gym and exercise, I come down with a new infection or fever. How thrilling! Anyway, the doctor says I have to take it easy until February to make sure that I am totally well before really beginning a fitness program. He says light exercise for 1/2 hour a day is okay, but to stop that if it starts making me feel worse.
On a positive note, my prednisone munchies are finally over. I don’t get up in the middle of the night and eat and for the first time I managed to not eat after 8 p.m. So, for now, I will concentrate on eating better and not pigging out on ice cream, chocolate, or chips. All things that I can truly pig out on. Hopefully, my lovely prednisone-induced “moon face” will disappear with better eating habits also.
So, one step at a time and I will get there.
