Mostly about my usually improving health via exercise and diet. Other times, being sick.

Annual physical puts me in decent shape!

Posted on May 19, 2014 by Steve

Maybe I should’ve done it before I went to Vegas. Nah, I’m glad I did it after the mini-debauchery expedition because the results were good-to-borderline concerns, namely the sugar and cholesterol departments. With the latter, 202 is pretty sweet without fasting. The type … Continue reading →

A week behind schedule to coincide with my 15th anniversary for working at Apple, I finally have run the equivalent distance between my house and 1 Infinite Loop. Somara asked how long this took, three years and three months give … Continue reading →

I’m mostly back! Stupid cold and cold weather!

Posted on April 16, 2014 by Steve

As my current head cold recedes, I am gradually catching up on a slew of crap I had to put aside. Any celebration over 15 years with Apple has been postponed when matters both financial and health normalize. Let me clarify … Continue reading →

New running record set this week

Posted on February 22, 2014 by Steve

Overall the posts have been slow and/or sporadic due to fatigue from the late nights, not the Olympics. It’s a blur even why I didn’t achieve much beyond the Gordon visit and a really killer Stars v. Checkers game. Running … Continue reading →

First 2014 running goal achieved!

Posted on January 26, 2014 by Steve

The rotten weather or Snowpocalypse ’14 delayed matters for me, the Apple move was rather exhausting too, so I’m plowing through numerous posts to catch up, namely a big landmark for me. Saturday I finally got my average up to … Continue reading →

My two days with the YMCA, more to come I hope

Posted on January 19, 2014 by Steve

What a great weekend to work out. There were other great things that happened to me besides running on a treadmill. The key thing is the Apple gym’s locker room shutting down didn’t slow me down on my exercise/fitness goals … Continue reading →

Plan Y to my original Plan B

Posted on January 15, 2014 by Steve

When the treadmill at my house broke down for the second time, I joined Apple’s gym as an interim solution until the repair. However I got hooked on the convenience: location, everything was covered in the locker room and if something … Continue reading →

This year is off to a bumpy start, dammit

Posted on January 5, 2014 by Steve

My recent bout with Cedar Fever or a cold, I have no idea, took its usual turn for the awful, leaving me pretty bed-ridden for another few days. Somara working all the extra hours didn’t help since it helps to … Continue reading →

Happy 2014 everyone!

Posted on January 1, 2014 by Steve

We took it relatively easy again this year. Somara went to work (and continues) to make all the overtime she can because people still receive iTunes gift cards for the holidays. I imagine that for every problematic code Somara facilitates, hundreds, … Continue reading →

Lost weekend thanks to sinuses

Posted on November 17, 2013 by Steve

It wasn’t a complete wash, we did manage to see the new Thor flick and complete our cat sitting duties in a timely fashion. Plus I had a FaceTime conversation with the Gordons in New York. Meanwhile, it’s several netti pots … Continue reading →

Thank you rain/temp drop for the relapse…

Posted on October 30, 2013 by Steve

Filled me full of phlegm and preventing me from enjoying my new car’s debut at work. I feel way better now. Thanks to my doctor helping me balance the medication, mainly upping the Zoloft by 25 mg/day. All this time I’ve … Continue reading →

I think October is the cruelest month

Posted on October 13, 2013 by Steve

Fall recently came to Austin which then led to me getting sick followed by the anxiety/panic attacks over-the-counter medicine causes. It’s a crappy situation because not taking the medication usually prolongs the illness. However, maybe I should’ve toughed it out. This … Continue reading →
