PITTSBURGH (Thursday, Feb. 18, 2016) - I can't say I am a hundred percent better, but I did go to the gym last night and managed to crank out 30 minutes on the elliptical machine. Still, I have that underlying cough. I have been meticulous when it comes to counting calories and the scale is still going down. Yes, I know I had some influenza assist last week on virtually killing my appetite, but I seem to be picking up where I left off.
