 had to repost:

You have a whole shelf in your pantry dedicated to your meds

You can tell what part of your GI tract is off kilter today by the sounds..

when you tell the phlebotomist, "trust me, thats not a good vein. no, you don't want to poke there either..."your grandparents ask you what they can expect when they go in for their first colonoscopy

you can clench your buttcheeks so hard you are sure if you put coal in there you could make a diamond

Your not a med student but your bookcase is 75% medical texts.

Every skin rash triggers an emotional crisis!

If You have larger clothes for bloated days..

Your family comes to you for medical advice.

You desperately wish Ensure came in more than 3 or 4 flavors..

you stock up on clear liquids for flares or tests

You look like you're 6 months pregnant by bedtime.

When your cats feel sorry for you and cuddle up close to comfort you.

You would never say I have a "stomach ache," but are more likely to say "my right lower quadrant is hurting," or "my inflamed ileum is giving me trouble!"

You know the ER staff and all your doc's offices people by first name without having to look

you are the only person you know that actually wants to eat salad but can'tyou have ever heard" i had the flu last week so I know what you are going through"Scrubbing Bubbles go on strike.The Tidy Bowl man leaves a "Dear John" letter.

you see your undigested lunch bits in the toilet less than an hour after you ate it.

you have a heating pad next to your bed for those painful nights.your husband looks at your *** and doesn't get turned on.

You've fantasized about having a time machine for the express purpose of hunting down whoever developed Prednisone.

you can run, unzip, unbutton, untie, and unbuckle all at the same time

Mike Rowe refused to clean your toilet for the "Dirty Jobs" showyou feel faint when someones says," Oh Crap"….

you take handfuls of pills at a time,you can swallow 15 pills in one swig of wateryou pay Doctor bills on a monthly basis

you know the location of every bathroom in you local target, walmart, supermarket, etc

You've ever "accidentally" let out a silent-but-deadly just to hurry the meeting along or for revenge on the guy who always says "just one more thing" when everyone else is ready to go.

Your family and friends have fitted body armor and battle plans for those times they have to go Prednisone DEFCON 1 again.

another dose....

just got another dose of remicade....needed this one!!  tummy was in an uproar past week.  but now all better! whew!  its amazing how remicade helps me.  or maybe its just psychological and they just give me saline in that iv! LOL!

this time Shelly (my nurse) hit a valve in the vein.  just prior i was telling her how she was the only one who could get the iv going in me.  so she said i jinxed her.  lol!  

so that means this past week, i did not train.  argh!!!  i am doing some pull-ups, sit-ups and walking...but nothing major.   next week, its back to the grind...and train.

still trying to figure out how to get sponsorship....sent out some emails today as well.  hopefully something will turn up.

ta- ta for now...

First Training at the Gym

at first i was scared.  my trainer is one of the best body builders!!!  he's won awards check him out... click here for his video.

so i know i'm in good hands! he's really a nice guy. starting me off slow....and will adjust my diet. 

he knows about my illness and will definetly take that into consideration when doing my diet.

he worked on my arms and upper body as well as abs today.

it was a good workout. didn't drip sweat, but worked the muscles hard!!!

its great to be back and working out!!! wasn't tired when i went back to work!! it energized me!!!

gotta keep on truckin!!!!

Training

Ok, so now i am officially a member of  gym!  and i will have a personal trainer to help me get started.  this will help me a lot!  

my co-worker also challenged me.  he said the challenge is who can get a six-pack by june.  argh!!  why am i so competitive. of course i took him on.  but this only helps me to get motivated to train anyway, so its a good thing. whether or not i get the six-pack, at least i'll be working out.

hope you all had a good weekend!!!

NO!!!

Think i caught a cold!!! so i'm taking nyquil...and vita c!!  argh....not good!!! hate it

i got a pair of adidas. didn't know, but they were on sale!
they are so comfortable. i went to all the "running" stores, but either the sales people were rude, or they didn't have my size, or the shoes just wasn't the right fit. got my adidas from sears. who would've thunk it.

started training in them!!!
YAY!!

About me:As most of you know, I have Crohns’ disease.  It has affected me on many levels.  I’ve been through many medications, treatments, holistic, etc.. Currently I am on Remicade, which targets specific proteins in the body’s immune system to help control the development of inflammation, significantly reducing painful symptoms in diseases such as Crohns.  It has controlled my “flares”.  But I still deal with it on a daily basis.

I have made a commitment to run this half marathon to bring hope for individuals battling IBD. I am hopeful you will join me in the search for the cure for  Crohn’s and Colitis. Over 80% of every dollar raised through Team Challenge will directly benefit the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation of America to support its mission for research, education and to find a cure.

 

Much Aloha and Mahalo for your support!!!!

Hope to see you bowling, or dancing...or dancing while you bowl!!
