Today was a crazy busy day where I was dragging my body for a good part of the morning, but it turned out to be a triumphant day for me physically. I took my lunch hour and accompanied my mom to get some groceries quickly and embraced the inspiration to cook a new quick side … Continue reading Fitness Check In Day 73
So last Thursday I had my appointment with the Gastroenterologist who explained the results to me. She confirmed that the high level of calprotectin which signals intestinal inflammation, does indeed point to Crohn's Disease, but she told me she's not 100 percent convinced because my last two colonoscopies did not show anything other than mild … Continue reading Fitness Check In Day 72: Another Colonoscopy
Lately, it's been a hit or miss as far as the energy I have, so when I do have the energy, I try to do all the errands I can or tackle things I have had to put on the back burner. Yesterday, I was on fire with all the energy I had and I … Continue reading Fitness Check In Day 71

Trying to stay positive is tough. I know this and while I have been trying to keep it up and deal with life's curveballs now differently than before, it's not easy.

This concept became popular by Rhonda Brynes documentary film, then book "The Secret." "This Sucks", "God I hate this … Continue reading Affirmations, Do They Work?
The day I saw the test results from my endoscopy online over a week ago, was the same day I had an early dentist appointment and in my rush to get out of the apartment so I wouldn't be late, despite waking up early, I forgot my hat and left with wet hair. There was … Continue reading Fitness Check In Day 67
Today after taking a week off from doing DDPY Bedflex, I dove back in followed by the physical therapy stretches to offset any tightness in my pelvic floor muscles. It felt good to do it again but I will admit I did cry again a little when doing one of the exercises. The exercise was … Continue reading Fitness Check In Day 65: One Foot in Front of the Other
