hooray! although i woke up later than my alarm today, i feel great, did an 8-minute tae-bo workout (cheered on by my dogs), and then took them on a quick 10-minute run around the block. it’s all the time i could spare this morning as i get ready to go to work, but i fit it in, and i feel great about it!

it’s fair to say that each of us has probably had different reactions to and experiences with various approaches to treating UC… that being said, i just finished reading “Inflammation Nation,” by floyd chilton (all in one night!), and would be really interested to hear if anyone here has opinions/experience on this diet. it’s supposed to be a diet specifically meant to inhibit overactive inflammatory systems; it’s heavy on certain kinds of fish and nuts, light on refined carbs, and even comes with its own official food pyramid! (why does american society love to stack food into pyramids? i couldn’t tell you.)

anyway, my condition has been good lately, after about 2 years on the same medicine. this diet makes me curious, and i’d love to hear about any real live experiences with it. thanks!

just this week i took the leap and enrolled in massage school. i’m not certain that this is the perfect timing for it… money-wise or time-wise, but i don’t see the perfect moment coming on the horizon. this is as good a moment as any, i’ve decided! no one in the fam has offered any financial support just yet… but i’m on the hunt for scholarships, and truly, moral support is all i need right now. i’m excited and nervous and anxious to start in april!
