A Regimen for Remission
This log tracks my regimen of attitude, exercise, stress management, and SCD foods. Since I started this regimen in 1997, I've been able to keep my Crohn's in a drug-free remission.

Monkey-see,
monkey-don't
Even though I may have experimented beyond the SCD from time to time, one must remember that everyone is different. Follow the intro diet for 3-5 days, and stick with the SCD until you are completely symptom free for at least one year before experimenting.

We had a huge storm last night. It was great fun! Fifty, sixty mile per hour winds, torrential rains, several trees down in the neighborhood. It all started around 4:30PM, and ended around 8PM. However, we lost power at 5:20 and it didn't come back on until midnight. The batch of SCD yogurt I was making will need to be thrown out because it didn't stay at the right temperature for six hours or so.

One fun aspect of the storm was going outside to watch the tail end of the sunset during one of the breaks in the rains. Many neighbors were wandering around, meeting each other, talking. This certainly does not happen when televisions are on, VCRs are running, etc. It was great fun!

Dinner, yesterday: grilled salmon with walnut-cilantro pesto, tossed salad, avocado, gazpacho.

There's a huge bullfrog outside our front door. The reptile book says they are not native to this area, are wiping out local toads and frogs, and even eat other frogs. :-(

Dinner, yesterday: a light snack before yoga (cauliflower "mashed potatoes", chicken sausage) and a fruit smoothie afterwards.

It rained for almost an hour yesterday. Baby toads are hopping everywhere! Hop hop hop. Hop hop. They are a delight to watch! Where are they going? They just seem to follow some invisible, unknown call to hop around the house, down the driveway, and into the street. Where do they go from there? Who knows?! They sure do make us laugh with joy over the beauty of nature!

Where do the baby toads go during the day? They must hide somewhere...because as soon as it rains, they come out and start hopping around! There are four little baby toads hopping around my patio as I write this.
