Steve, Rebooted

My sinuses have been mostly clear the past few days. I haven’t been nearly as congested nor do I have to clear my nasal passages nearly as much as I have had to for the past few weeks.
My workout went well last night. I am feeling the soreness, but it’s a good sore. I’m not [...]

I haven’t needed to take Claritin or any other medication to be able to function the last two days. This is encouraging. I’m still congested at times, and my throat is mildly sore throughout the day, but I think whatever it is is working itself out of me. My weight has maintained at 255, down [...]

I’m still eating cleanly and haven’t gained back any weight, so I should [...]

I’m still battling whatever this sinus infection or whatever it is. I’m on some anti-fungal medication, and it seems to be helping but the issue still lingers. My doctor ordered blood work to see if my blood is running “sweet” (his term) which if it is, could mean that I have type 2 diabetes. Even [...]

Like most people, I ate way too much over the Fourth of July holiday weekend. All is not lost, however. The occasional binge is ok, and there is even evidence that supports it may be healthy physiologically to temporarily have an influx of excess calories. This is not an excuse for an all-weekend bender, however. [...]

I’m currently reading the following books:
