Battle of the Bulge ’17

I’ve been ignoring the elephant in the virtual room lately…me. Last year, my illness really pulled off the weight to the sound of 20 pounds. The only good side effect of losing one’s appetite with occasional vomiting. The weight came … Continue reading

Running back on track!

It has been a long-time coming too. Exercise does help me feel better yet it kept being put off while I was recovering. When I returned to work, I took things in baby steps (and still am) by getting to … Continue reading

I was off to a good rebuilding start with the new gym at work (that’s its own story soon) and then boom, ouch! My right foot acted up. It felt like I stepped on caltrops; I don’t know this from … Continue reading

Another vacation goal started, I won’t say achieved until I have done it every day but arrival (check) and departure (practically done because there’s no time). I could’ve tried when I returned to work. Nah! One crisis at a time. … Continue reading

Seattle-Paizo achieved!

I would put this running goal about four months behind the schedule I was keeping if I were applying last year’s pace. This year has been just rough across the board, even on the exercise front which should be a breeze … Continue reading

The annual health screening and exercise comeback

The results came in and they were ugly. I think I also forgot to do a screening in 2014. Either way, I fell off the wagon. My weight is back up alongside my cholesterol. On the upside, my glucose (aka, the … Continue reading
