Vacation!!!

Two weeks away....I'm excited and nervous.  It will be great to see friends and family after so many years away.  I'm worried about the whole Paleo thing, though.  I have no doubt that I will not attack a fast food place, I just don't feel like messing up my guts, but I worry about how to handle the food thing when it is not in my control- as it is here at home.  And always, in the back of my mind, will my Crohn's act up???   Deep breath....one meal at a time :)

Keep it up!

So I haven't blogged in awhile....sorry! 
I am feeling pretty good.  I was on a double dose of steroids for a week and felt like a CRAZY woman!  I am glad that is over with!  I am now on a low dose and everything is much as it was before.  I'll go off the steroids the first week of July....I admit, I am nervous.
I have hit 20lbs GONE!!!!!
Between Paleo and Cossfit, that fat didn't stand a chance :)
I Crossfit 3 times a week and am noticing all these muscles showing up, some I didn't even know where there before.
All in all, the set back was discouraging, but it made me come to the realization this is a life long illness.  Remission may not be what I thought it was..for me, anyways.  So I need to get to a place where I feel good and am on the least amount of drugs to keep me feeling good.
We are off to Idaho for a couple of weeks and when I return and go off the 'roids I'll let you all know how it goes :)

Set Back

Shortly after I went off the steroids I felt a little gurgle here, a small blip there.  I thought it was just something I ate, or that I was coming off the medicine...it wasn't.  Two and a half weeks after I stopped taking the steroids, the Crohn's flared again.  I am now back on the steroids, at a high dose, and am beyond upset about it.  My diet did not change, my blood showed such improvement, my symptoms were gone.  WHY?!?!?!?!?!??!
I really thought I had 'won the race', seems, though, that I am just beginning.....
