...two weeks ago I got a sinus infection up on top of the cold I had been fighting since the end of November. I was even more miserable! I went to the doctor and he put me on medication and schedule a visit with my pulmonologist, now it is the end of February and I still have it but I keep thinking it has to be the end of it. I gave myself until March 1st to feel better IF I do then I may cancel that appointment. I don't feel my Asthma is out of control it just is so hard for me to get past colds once I catch one.

Is everyone familiar with Prednisone? OY this medicine is a doozy. Most times if my Asthma flairs it is the medication I get put on to try and get it back in control. Well I am learning this medication is SO not fun when trying to lose weight. I had gotten down 42 pounds then put on the medicaiton and first week up 2 pounds, then up another 2...finally this past week I went back down 3.6 pounds. PHEW! My WW leader mentioned Prednisone is a doozy with water retention and mood issues.

My last week was so rough. I have been questioning what I am doing. I am messing up my family not working, well I still have my Independent Consulting with Pampered Chef business but I cannot say I have whole heartily attacked it. I love their products, I just need to be better about asking for the business I guess I get shy in that area. I have noticed that since losing weight I have more energy and I have been more excited about my shows.

I went to a Lia sophia party yesterday and saw a couple of people I hadn't seen in a while and both commented on my weight-loss. I was excited someone saw it. I don't see it really being the gradual losing aspect, same for my hubby and my best friend that goes to the meetings with me yet I have put a couple things on recently where they fit looser. Those things help but man have I been down. I was looking at some municipal jobs and one was for the Medical Examiners office but I would have to commute all the way to Clackamas from Hillsboro and that just does NOT sound appealing. I guess my babbling is leading to the question, How do you know whether you're making the right decisions for yourself and your family?
