that for some people causes weight gain. My dad was on it for over a year for this weird kidney thing he had (in remission now) and he definitely gained weight. He couldn't wait to get off of it!! I used to take it when I was little and would have severe asthma attacks and my mom said I got all puffy.

Breakfast: Porridge with pineapple
morning snack: pretzels
Lunch: chicken skewers with rice, green salad and satay sauce
Afternoon snack: small muffin 
Dinner: couscous with prawns and tomato sauce
Snacks: 2 UFOS
Activities: walked to and from work. Am feeling way too tired for the gym still after the weekend's over exertions! I lay down when I was changing my clothes after work and fell asleep for an hour. Luckily, this weekend is quiet so I can get some R&R!
SUMS:
BMR 2290 plus 224 activities less calories eaten 2381 less 500 weight loss = 367 over budget
Tomorrow is weigh in day. My goal for this week, is not to have gained, or to have gained no more than one pound...we'll see tomorrow how it goes. If my mood/energy levels don't improve I am going to keep eating junk...its a vicious circle...

I have been on large doses of prednisone before and I hate the stuff. But for the first few days it isn't so bad so I am actually happy to be on it. I feel more energetic already. I was shaking earlier really bad but that stopped. So far it hasn't increased my appetite at all. But I work for the next 2 days, outside and active and need to eat as much as I can to have energy. I will be done with the stuff by Monday.
Also it tends to be really bad for IBS too since it changes all my functions- might be from too much food. But back in November a long dose of prednisone started me on a bad IBS streak! 
--------------------
IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!

but do you care if I ask why you are taking prednisone now?? The thing with it is, there are side effects to deal with, but it has so many medical benefits for all kinds of illnesses and diseases. I guess you just have to weigh the costs and the benefits.

Here's Wednesday (NOT the best day . . .)
breakfast - berry/banana/soymilk smoothie w/fiber, crumpet
snack - UFO beverage, baby carrots
lunch - "pizza" sandwich from Potbelly, UFO bev (AGAIN ), RCT (side note - ate WAAAAY too much at lunch. Was full until after 5PM, to the point of almost getting a side-stitch during my workout).
dinner - 1 slice sourdough, yogurt, unsweetened applesauce, small bowl frosted mini wheats w/soymilk.
dessert - finished off the fruit jellies, they are no longer there to tempt me.
Excercise - 20 min on elliptical, 20 min walking.
Weighed myself yesterday - I gained the 2 lbs back that I have been gaining/losing for the past few weeks. I was kind of expecting it after stuffing my face at lunch, but it is frustrating that I keep yo-yoing.

Hi ya'll,
So last night after work I went to the gym and met my new trainer. Actually, I had TWO because one guy was just learning to be a trainer, so I had lots of attention, hee hee.
The trainer suggested that I go on "The Zone" Diet but I am not really sure about that. The meal plans I looked at online are really heavy with milk products and eggs, two things I def have to stay away from. I'm going to put in a call today and see how possible it is to do it without those things.
The training program he put me on is the circuit at the gym to start off with. I do 10 minutes elliptical, then go to the circuit. Then each weight machine you do for 30 seconds, and in between do 30 seconds of hard cardio. There are 12 machines. Then another 10 on the elliptical.
It's supposed to be fast and convenient so you can get in, get your workout and get out.
I am going back again today to finish the first part of the my introduction stuff (I think all my weight stuff and measurements and all that, yikes!).
So anywho, I burned 178 calories on the elliptical and I have no idea how many doing the machines.. So I'll just say 200 for now in total, 'cause I don't wanna go too high by accident.
That makes my food budget 2017 calories.
Breakfast: Luna Bar and Applesauce = 273 calories
Snack: Pretzels and 2 arrowroot cookies and 1 UFO = 170 calories
Lunch: Grilled chicken panini sandwich with roast vegetables. It had some pesto sauce on it, so I scraped some off to be safe but left a little on and was alright = 452 calories.
Snack: Diced peaches, juices drained and 1/2 a GeniSoy bar = 181 calories
Post-Workout: GeniSoy Protein Bar = 227 calories
Dinner: Cup of mini spirals pasta with some ICBINB and 1/4 cup of tomato sauce with mushrooms = 253 calories
Snack: Sunflower seeds and 3 UFO = 233 calories
Drinks: I had at least 8 cups of water and 2 cups of Rooibos tea.
Total Calories = 1789 which is within my calorie budget, and not toooooo low like before.
Cheers!
--Steph
