Transformation Challenge 2024 Day 40

Day 40 is completed, only 2 days left. I woke up and I matched my lowest weight so far for this challenge. The prednisone is helping to reduce my inflammation so I'm pretty sure after a few more doses all my inflammation should be gone and likely another lb or 2. I heard from my Gastro doc and we have a plan. I also had dinner with my mom and it was an overall good day.

The past 2 days I have been taking 20mg of prednisone to help with the inflammation I have been having and it has helped with my joint pain so much. When I weighed myself this morning I matched my lowest weight thus far. Just 3 days ago I was 5 lbs heavier due to the inflammation. This just goes to show you that water retention and other factors can play with your weight everyday. So if you have medical things going on don't take your numbers too seriously as they can change dramatically and quickly.

At the end of my work day I heard from my Gastro and we have a plan. Basically after my CT scan next week we will have a game plan. In the meantime I'm going up to 40mg of prednisone and reducing every week by 5mg. After my scan we have 2 courses of action. 1 would be if I show active Crohns then the next dose of Stelara will be a higher dose. 2, if I don't show signs of active crohn’s then we will have to change therapy’s. Either way I am on Prednisone for the next 8 weeks. I'm not happy about it but my pain should be resolved but I am likely going to put weight back on.

After work I called my dad and wished him a happy birthday. I also called my Grandma and we got a day and time scheduled to have cake and icecream for my dad. My Mom called and we went and got dinner, after I went to the gym.

That's it for today. Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop

Come back tomorrow for Day 41.
