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
Fired my doctor
The part I was stressing about the most? Somara freaking out because I really did it Friday night during the peak period of my icouldntgiveashititis. He still wants me to come in to have an epilog and adjust the medication I stopped taking … Continue reading

Let’s hear it for the rain in Central Texas…
…we sure needed it but its side effect has been making me feel like crap. The symptoms I have are similar to a cold/flu yet I don’t have a temperature. Could’ve fooled the rest of my body given the headache … 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
Plant Nanny
My doctor is often reminding me to drink more water, namely to fight my allergies and congestion. So Somara introduced me to this little game. Every time I drink a unit of water, often 500 ml, the plant receives water … Continue reading

Stomach Flu 2…Electric Boogaloo
Ai yi yi yi, what a rough week. Believe it or not, we in the Midwest use that interjection too, it’s not necessarily unique to Spanish speakers. I often recall my maternal grandfather say it. So much for the nice plans … Continue reading

Two thousand miles! No, not the Pretenders song
It’s a new year which means a new start on resolutions! My renewal on fitness and weight loss gets a renewed boost this month as expected. I don’t consider it a quitting/starting over thing. More along the lines of regaining … Continue reading
Feeling somewhat better, let’s see what Monday holds
Other than a sore throat and a developing cavity in a back molar (these things are inevitable in life), I’m mostly over the flu. All the lost time to be productive and enjoy things down the toilet. I did manage … Continue reading
Battle of the Bulge ’14, kind of lost
Thanks illness, delicious food, cold weather and some distractions I climbed back up to the weight that made me freak out seven years ago. Well, I had been sliding/climbing for some months. Not exactly sure what the core reasons were … Continue reading
Rainy days, recovering temperature and malaise
We got through our first cold snap(s) for Winter ’14 to ’15 and it still sucked compared to the regions accustomed to this crap. What I thought I had licked re-appeared Sunday night, knocked me down for a couple days. … Continue reading
Annoying kink in my first Tim Cook day
Somara likes to blame me whenever she comes down with a cold so I guess this was her revenge. Last week she dodged getting seriously ill while I weathered it just fine…until the temperature around Austin plummeted and I woke up … Continue reading
Welcome *hack!* *wheeeeeze!* August
In Austin, we have some good news and some bad news… The good news is that allergy season has ended. The bad news is now the new allergy season has begun. Ugh! I got to feel right during the build … Continue reading
A friendly health-weight-based wager with Jeremy
One horrendous thing I noticed after I trimmed down my Calder Cup beard…it was hiding my extra chins. Actually, I don’t have any jowls firmly present, I learned from Slate.com about how two-dimensional photography “adds weight,” by flattening the image. Tricks … Continue reading
It’s about half right
I’m getting my running back on track but now I need to work on eating much, much less since I’m pushing back into Jose’s Wedding Weight…that’s my weight, not his.
