Now that I'm finally back home: time to finally start this thread! I really do think that keeping track of things on here will help keep me motivated, because nothing makes me feel better than active ways to chart my progress.
I'm seeing a personal trainer twice a week, and now that I've gotten my seton removed he's challenging me to also try exercising at the gym on my own and eventually getting me to three times a week. He's my half-brother so I'm very lucky that he isn't charging me.
My current goal is to do some toning up, especially with a focus on my upper body, and then getting more stamina through cardio. I also really want to focus on my diet in the hopes that it'll help some of my digestion problems. So: I'm going to challenge myself to drink more fluids (hello, rooibos and green tea!) and add more fibre to my diet and take (most of) the junk out of it.
My diet currently is pretty low-residue, which is okay while in flare, but otherwise gets a bit problematic. I want to work in some healthier snack options, actually get myself to cook and try out some recipes I've been saving, and get some more fruit into my diet. (Hilariously, even as a kid I always loved veggies.) Otherwise, with drinks I'm fine -- all I really drink is milk, water, and tea.
Wish me luck!
