This morning marked 10 days in a row of exercising 30 minutes or more every day. As I hopped into the shower afterward, I thought to myself that taking a shower is so much nicer when I have to do it for a reason other than having been smeared with something by one my kids. [...]

Wow, I have had a great week! I’m not boasting, really, but I have great cause to celebrate and happiness loves company as much as misery ever did. As of today, I’ve exercised eight days in a row (excluding Sundays) for 30 minutes or more each time. I don’t think I’ve done that even once [...]

Now that we've moved and have insurance again, you've probably noticed that I'm working on finding good doctors for my family. I wish there were a way for someone to put up a site that differentiates doctors beyond saying their specialties and what school they graduated from when, but I haven't been able to find [...]

This morning I went with a friend to see Dr. Frazier at Absolute Health, which reminded me that I've never blogged about Dr. Frazier! Dr. Frazier is our wonderful chiropractor. He's helped us with a myriad of health problems. He's the one who first figured out that Colin doesn't have normal diabetes (when Colin was [...]
