    • July 31st Final Day

      Mood July 31, 2008 5:36pm

      Woke up tired and did not run. I ran 18 out of 31 days this month.

      I will set a new goal for August of running 75% of the days or 23 out of 31.

      Got up at 530am and got out by 630am. You can run faster in cooler air. My run took 5 minutes less. Good day.

    • Close Breakups & Divorce

      My divorce was final in January 08. Everything was and has been amicable. I really enjoy my new life! I have been dating someone and it has been good to start a new, healthy relationship. My boys are 18(twins) and both live with me. They just graduated high school and will start college in the fall. My ex-wife has addiction and health problems. She was fired from her job in 2005 and was arrested for passing a forged perscription. Now those are her problems, not mine. Single is way better!

      Treatments

      Al-Anon Not Working
      I just didn't find it helpful for me.
      Couples Counseling Not Working
      2 sessions and she would not go back! I kept going and the counselor and I agreed that there was no reason for me to continue. Life is good.
      Forgiveness Working / Worked
      Leave Working / Worked
      Getting away from her was the the weight of the world being lifted from my shoulders.
      Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
      Her sister is surprised I didn't walk out years ago. They don't speak to each other. I have a strong group of friends and family who will support me.
    • Close Crohn's Disease & Ulcerative Colitis

      Living, breathing, fighting Crohn's since 1976. 5 surgeries later and many treatments later I am still here! In 1988 I lost part of my colon, it perforated and my spleen ruptured and during my recovery my 1st wife had an affair and I diviorced her. In 1994 I had a small perforation and removed more colon and in 2005 I had the rest of my colon removed.

      Treatments

      Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Working / Worked
      This is different with each individual. What works for 1 won't work for another.
      Prednisone Somewhat Helpful
      HATE IT!
      Asacol Working / Worked
      I guess it works.
      Marijuana Working / Worked
      For me is slows the digestive process. Since I have no colon, it reduces the number for bathroom trips.
    • Open Fitness Goals
      Type: Maintain a workout schedule

      I have had Crohn's for 31 years. With the predizone I was unable to exercise and prednozone made me so hungry so I ballooned up to 260lbs and at 5'9" that was a bit much. I came of the predizone and lost 30 lbs and started excercising in July 2003 and I am down to 188 and I have run a half marathon. I'm not the fastest guy out there, but I like to say I always win the spleenless/gutless divison. :)

      Treatments

      Running Working / Worked
      Cardio is key
    • Open Life After Divorce

      Divorce since Jan. 08 Have two boys, twins, who just turned 19 and live with me. Loving life and moving on.
