November 11, 2005 - Food & Exercise

Lounged around the house this morning then headed to the doctor to get a
prescription of Prednisone for another case of poison ivy This time
it's on the neck and left hand. My two middle fingers swelled, blistered
and look like raw meat.

After filling the prescription I decided to take advantage of the beautiful
weather. I grabbed my bike, picked up a radio and headed out on a 18 mile
ride through several parks in the area. It's a little awkward to ride the
road bike with two swollen fingers but I managedg

When I was on Prednisone for tendonitis it made me unusually hungry. I
gained several pounds during the 6 days I was on it.

I often gain 3-5 pounds each time I take this stuff. Unfortunately this is
the second time in a couple months I've had to take it for poison ivy. This
last episode involved reaching into a shrub to retrieve a piece of plastic
that had blown into the yard. Next time I'll leave the stuff there and have
one of the granddaughters retrieve itg

I gained 5 pounds last go round and had managed to lose 3 of it. I'm really
going to try to avoid gaining anything this time! I'm on it for 12 days
this time
