The past few days have been interesting to say the least.

Fitness Check In Day 68

After going out for about 1 block and a 1/2 on Sunday, my body was craving more exercise time, so last night after work, I bundled up with two hats, since I am still getting over that cold, a fleece over my shirt, scarf, gloves, you name it.

When Doctors Drop the Ball- Barrett’s Esophagus

The week of Thanksgiving, I had an endoscopy and last week I got the test results via the doctor's office portal. The test results ruled out Erosive Esophagitis which is what I thought I had based on the intense pain I have been experiencing even when I drink water.

Fitness Check In Day 65: One Foot in Front of the Other

I had the idea brought up … Continue reading To Record or Not Record, That is the Question
