Colonoscopy time again! (plus an honest review of Crunch Fitness Simi Valley)

Hey, everyone! Well, as long-time readers may recall, last fall (hey, that rhymes!) I was supposed to get the always dreaded colonoscopy. However, due to unforeseen circumstances (the cancer diagnosis), it had to be postponed. Butt* now that everything's hunky-dory up top, it's time to race to the bottom! (*heh heh) However once again, due …

Good morning, world! Time for a cancer update!

Hey, guess what? It's been five months plus one day since my lumpectomy! So I thought I'd just let you know how I'm doing, boob-wise. My scar is still very visible but seems to be healing nicely. Actually, I have two of them, one right on the booby itself and one under the arm from …

If You’re Voting in L.A.’s Election Next Month, Be Prepared, the Ballot is Long and Boring!

Well, hey, everyone! How's life in your neck of the woods? I'm doing well -- as of today I've been on the Arimidex for, let's see [counts on fingers, carry the one] a little over a month and a half. So far, so good -- no side effects to speak of, and fingers crossed it'll …

Progress! (and yet another commitment)

Well, welcome back, everyone! Yeah, it looks like after enjoying the freedom to gasp and wheeze without a mask at the gym, we're gonna have to go back to those hated cloth diapers indoors for a while longer. So if you haven't yet been vaccinated, this might be a good time to do it, so …

Bookworm snacks and Kathy Bates, not necessarily in that order

Hey everyone, welcome back! The weight's up a schoche: 204.8 and even though I'd prefer it was going the other direction, I'm okay with it. But why? Is it possible that the weight loss doesn't means as much to me anymore? Is it possible that I'm just as happy to maintain as to lose? I …

Swing those weights, do-si-d’oh!

Well, good morning, all! Everyone ready to do their morning workout? Let's get started! Haha, I don't really do stuff like that, although I did recently RIDE a boat! It was fun, but for me, the most exciting part was getting out of the boat when we were done: (kinda looked like these, and note …

Maskholes at the gym!

Hey everyone! Well, as I said last week, I'm basically maintaining at this point, so I'm only going to post my weight if it goes up or down by more than a pound. So as long as you're seeing that "Same!" message over on the right-hand side of your screen, you know I'm doin' it …

Second vax; new gym; and laundry advice

Hey, good morning, everyone! First, the good news: I got my SECOND Pfizer vaccine yesterday! Yay, I'm (almost) street-legal, baby! I mean, yeah, my arm is kinda sore, but that's something I can live with, I guess. Actually, it isn't any more sore than my arms have been getting from working out at my NEW …
