This Halloween, my brother and I ended up not walking in the New York City Village parade this year like we had done the past 3 years. The pain and discomfort from the esophagitis was significant and I honestly did not feel strong enough to put on my costume and make that trek to the … Continue reading Fitness Check In Day 61: The Month of Giving Thanks
After two very productive days where my energy levels were pretty high and the pain in my body and my throat were alleviated significantly due to, I feel, the constant movement, I woke up today wanting to record the first episode of a podcast I was thinking of starting. I had the idea brought up … Continue reading To Record or Not Record, That is the Question
On Monday, I was soo tired I just rested pretty much all day. Basking in the euphoria that was New York Comic Con for the 3 days that I went. Yesterday it was back to reality and work which was fine, but I was determined to keep up with moving the body more than I … Continue reading Fitness Check In Day 58
Today was a bit rough. The other pillow I used isn't great, but the pain in my neck although still there, was a lot less than yesterday. I did wake up a bit exhausted with dizziness and and pain in my legs, but I was determined to get on that glider at least for a … Continue reading Fitness Check In Day 52: Overcoming Your Fears
With Comic Con around the corner (next Thursday 10/09 through Sunday 10/12 to be exact), I was getting super excited after feeling the fog lifting and feeling a bit more strength in my body.

Since those … Continue reading The Curveballs of Live Keep Coming
As I mentioned, as of July 18th, I have not exercised due to to the hypertonic or tight pelvic floor muscles. A huge disappointment as I was starting to feel stronger each day. The happy high I was getting after my workouts was also a major bonus that I am no longer getting and I … Continue reading Fitness Check In Day 45: Another Hurdle to Overcome
I am super disappointed to have missed checking in since last Thursday. The day prior to my birthday I was in decent spirits, waiting to turn 48 years old and then Friday hit.
