I am a lucky guy. Actually, I am for many reasons, but in the interest of this blog, as it relates to Crohn's. I follow many fellow "Crohnies" on twitter and see the awful stuff they deal with on a daily basis. Things that I have dealt with in the past, but, other than an occasional flare up, have not for a while. Woke up today with absolutely no after affects from last nights mini-binge. I understand enough about this disease to know that despite feeling great this morning, I need to treat today as if I did flare up this morning. After a light breakfast, I headed to the gym for a workout. I bitch and moan every time the weather keeps me from running outside and forces me to the gym for a run on a treadmill. Besides the fact that I hate treadmills, I tend to overheat 15 minutes into my run when I do it indoors. I wasn't planning on running today, I was just going to do some weight lifting. I decided to take a different route to the area in my gym where I would be working out and came upon a room that I was shown during my orientation day at the gym, that I had completely forgotten about. The room is basically a converted movie theater that has cardio equipment in it. It continuously loops a movie all day long and I happened to walk in at the beginning of the movie "The Hangover". I have seen the movie about 100 times and made a beeline for a treadmill. Time for 101. The room is nice and cool and I'm pretty sure I will be setting new endurance records for myself shortly because, what a great environment. I ran for a bit, went out into the gym for some lifting, then headed home and had a shake. Emily made chicken "Veronique" for dinner, which was a recipe that her mom had made when she was growing up. It was great! That along with some rice and biscuits and I was a happy guy. A nice relaxing night with no late night snacking and it looks like I have officially survived the 2nd round of the NFL playoffs.
