Wow---I can be such a party girl. We went to Portland , Oregon for the last 5 days to celebrate my husbands parents 60th anniversary. They are pretty heavy drinkers under the circumstances---and I found myself not wanting to resist. Kind of like when in Rome do as the Roman's do. When I drink I am not real good with my food choices sooooo---We're back and I am up 5 or 6 pounds. Taking Prednisone for a week also didn't help---but I can tell you I have a new sense of purpose thanks to the LB and all of you out there. My first 6 week fill is this coming Monday( I have NO restriction now). Can't wait for a little help here ;-) Especially because we have several more fun trips planned in the next month or two.
