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. I did look like the kid from … Continue reading Fitness Check In Day 68

The day I saw the test results from my endoscopy online over a week ago, was the same day I had an early dentist appointment and in my rush to get out of the apartment so I wouldn't be late, despite waking up early, I forgot my hat and left with wet hair.

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.

Finding Things to be Grateful for this Thanksgiving

On Tuesday of this week, I had an endoscopy to take a look and see how bad my esophagitis has gotten and if I have Barretts as I have had soo much pain in my throat and chest when swallowing and burning in my mouth and throat.  The doctor said it didn't look like I … Continue reading Finding Things to be Grateful for this Thanksgiving

Fitness Check In Day 61: The Month of Giving Thanks

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.

To Record or Not Record, That is the Question

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
