An apple a day

Will help you prevent gaining so much.

Yeah, after getting the smack-right-in-the-middle comment from my doctor, my feeling of being a complete fullmoon has been signed, sealed and delivered. 

It's 3:00 a.m. and as expected I am still up because the Biggie Iced Tea I got from Wendy's is still kicking in my blood.

I had a little serving of dinner at 7:00 a.m.and I think I am not a slob if I give in to the growl of my insides. Doing away from carbs and fats, I did not dare open our company christmas package to rummage on anything that i could push down my throat. I instead grabbed an apple from the fridge.

I feel full but I do not feel sleepy yet.

Eating healthy

I can't do anything about the glutton that I am feeling. Instead of starving myself, I thought of stuffing my gut instead of healthy stuff.

I decided not to deal with the 3 rice-meal a day anymore. I just have to turn to healthy fillers like fruits, wheat bread and veggies. No carbs as much as possible.

My tummy is bulging out already. My face is a perfect full moon. I used to be half moon hahaha.

I know I can't hit the gym as yet. I don’t' have running shoes, I don't have the budget yet to get new pair and to enroll to the gym.

I am still working on it. The budget that is. And it means I don't have spare time also since I always render overtime. 

Like today. It's my restday but I opted to go to work.

Hohum!

Getting normal

My doctor has decided to taper the dosage omitting 5 mg per week from the original 50 mg.

I am happy with the lab results. My Creatinine:Protein ratio has gotten back to normal. My cholesterol level is now close to normal and my urine is no longer dark and frothy although I am not still used to waiting several hours to put out the fuilds that I take in. My doctor said it's nothing to be concerned of since I don't have edema and my creatinine is normal.

We are to meet on December 18th which means I am still on steroids until and after then.

My concern is, I have an appetite of a monster!

Hungry like the wolf

I am not new to this. Legally I am on steroids with regulated dosage of course. I feel that I am a cookie monster when in front of anything that is edible. Problem is, I am supposed to be on low fat, low sodium and low protein diet. I am also limited to 1000 cc of fluid in a day so I cannot substitute anything that is filling with basically anything.

My special diet is killing me

Naturally, I don’t crave for foods that are high in sodium nitrates, salts and fats.
I am generally a fruit, veggie and fluid person but due to some problems in my kidney, I am retaining water and my low-density lipoproteins (LDL) has shot up about 200% the normal value.
As such, I have instructed to eat generally bland food.
Arrgh!
 I pray that this problem would just go away.
