This thread topic replaces the previous fitness journal(s) that I've attempted over these past several years. I may refer to them just so I can compare trends, but right now, this is it.

the beginning of the end
This past year has been a physical hell for me: diagnosed with Stage 2 Lyme Disease, need bifocals, have waaaay to high triglyceride levels, and have officially crossed into the diabetic zone.
