Fitness Check In Day 106: NYC Comic Con

I took a whole week off to prepare for Comic Con. But that week I will admit was really rough. I had a lot of stomach pain, fullness and nausea I was trying to get rid of. I was worried that my low calorie intake would render me weak, dizzy and unable to do much … Continue reading Fitness Check In Day 106: NYC Comic Con

Fitness Check In Day 104: Quieting the Mind

Monday nights I usually watch wrestling on Netflix which is a nice way to end the first day of work week. I've watched wrestling since I was a kid.

Fitness Check In Day 98: Test Results and More Uncertainty

It looks like I have all my test results from the bloodwork and stool tests and all are negative for infections/parasite and normal. I mean that's amazing right? But this leaves me hanging. Leaves me with uncertainty and that is as Sheldon Cooper would say MALARKEY!

Fitness Check In Day 89: Hurricanes of Life

In my last post, I mentioned how the things were going and in the weeks that followed I did have some good things happen but I also had a lot to weigh me down.
