Thanks, Don. I just want to see my grandkids grow up.

I just signed up to run the Columbus Marathon in October! I definitely need to keep up with this thread more often as motivation for exercising and eating healthy. I just ate a whole box of samoas girl scout cookies in one sitting (don't judge please)... I think I should follow your habits, Pete, and start eating healthier. But hey, when prednisone makes you hungry, you just have to grab everything in sight, right? haha!

I could eat a whole box of thin mints right now! For me, avoiding temptation means not even bringing it home.

I'm the same way, Pete. And eating a box of thin mints would make me feel very sick; it would actually increase my WG symptoms until the sugar wore off. But I would do it anyway, if the thin mints were here in my house!

Awesome Pete. Final back to one mile walk, three times a week. Driving still an adventure, can't see over snow banks. Keep up the good work.

Thanks, Dale. I'm glad to see your progressing well. I hope the snow melts soon (not too fast - don't need floods) so driving isn't any more of an adventure than it normally is in Boston.

Well, the snow is melting, it's 47•F and raining, and my biceps hurt in a good way. I learn how to use the rest of the resistance training machines on Thursday, so I expect the abs to be a bit sore after that. I'll be glad to see the "pred paunch" go away...

Another mile today. 50* today, things may be looking up. Trying to get my seeds started in the basement, but don't know when to start due to the snow.
So Pete, Rebekah and Anne, I have cornered the market on Thin Mints and Grasshoppers (the cookie) to help keep you from getting weak. It will be difficult but I will eat them all for you.

I'm the cookie mom for my daughter's girl scout troop and have had up to 40 cases of cookies in my house these past couple months. If you all lived closer we would definitely try sell to all of you. LOL! Going to be wrapping it up the end of this month and looking forward to getting the temptation out of my house.
