It's that time of year again...
It's that time when people, especially women, tend to evaluate their eating and workout habits and make resolutions of how to make a positive change in 2011. Well, friends, I'm going to jump aboard that train. Why? Because I need to.
So, as we go through the last few days of 2010, I reflect back and am not proud of anything in the health-related world. My weight has climbed, my exercise has declined, and I'm not happy with where I am right now with my health.
What better time to change than the new year? A new year. A new Nicole. I'm sure going to give it a shot.

Did you think I ran away?
I haven't. I'm still here. And I'm battling my stomach issues more now than ever. It's gone from once a month to now once a week and this last bout was only after three days. I'm not scheduled for my appointment with a gastroenterologist until Jan. 5th, but I don't think I can wait that long.
I'm trying to think of all of the possibilities: irritable bowel syndrome, Crohn's Disease (probably not), colitis, colon cancer (probably not), etc. etc. Of course, I immediately think something horrible, but I really have no clue what's wrong with me. I don't necessarily have bouts after I eat, so that makes me think IBS is out, but hard to tell.
I'm just tired of this. Tired of evenings wasted because of either being in the bathroom or feeling miserable on the couch. I'm tired of feeling uncomfortable with my stomach all of the time. Some say this type of thing can be caused by stress. Well whatever this is, it's giving me stress.
Working out has been non-existent. My diet hasn't been horrible because I'm trying to peg if any of this is diet-related (which I'm not seeing any patterns). My weight has maintained which, whatever. Right now, my goal is to figure out what's going on with all of this.
So, that's my update. I'll keep you posted as I know more.
