winner...

I won the whole damn thing!  I'm in complete shock and dare I say proud!?!  You would think I would go celebrate with a deep fried corn dog and a side of onion rings but honestly that doesn't even sound good any more!  Suck it predisone!!!  

Instead I celebrated with my son... I kicked his ass in a game of tennis!

*Note these are a guesstimate... still, all I had was a non-flexible Home Depot tape measure.  But I’m down a couple of pant sizes and feel absolutely FANTASTIC! 

day 41...

Camping weekend with friends... I hope to stay focused with lots of hiking and bike riding and not to overdose on Reese Peanut Butter Smores!

day 40...

Last night I was lucky enough to be invited the Sync Fitness Client Appreciation Dinner.  What an amazing group of people!  It was great to hear all the inspiring stories and how important Sara is to each and everyone in the room! 

I don't drink wine so I wasn't tempted there... and was completely satisfied with a small salad one slice of pizza.  I did end up winning a delicious brick of cheese that I will devour on Monday.  

day 39...

Another fabulous yoga class!  I'm shocked that I'm actually enjoying yoga and looking forward to it each week.

day 38...

day 37...

Ahhhh!  Looks like it wasn’t a popcorn reaction but an AD flare up.  I have to increase my prednisone daily intake all the way up to 60mg and then begin the slow taper back down to 10mg.  I could eat a whole pizza just thinking about it!  This happens to me about twice a year.  Oh well… hoping to fight the prednisone hunger beast to keep on track.  I GOT THIS!
