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 scheduleI 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
