I’ve updated my progression page with new pictures from today. Something I noticed, my cloths are getting extremely large on me. They look super baggy. Going to have to break out some older clothing soon it looks like. That’s a good thing though, it means I’m moving ahead.
I’m not sure what I did to my ankle last week. Its kinda irritating though. Its not my normal ankle pain, I get a kind of pain in the back of it and it feels kinda like its grinding when I move it. Like something is moving up and down. Hopefully it gets better quickly, I think its improved some, but its stopping me from walking and jogging because I’m afraid I’ll hurt it more. Instead I’ve been doing my cardio on the exercise bike. Which is now down with all the other equipment since we straightened up our basement.
Now lets see how I did on my goals for this month.
April Goals
Get a job – I put in at least 2 applications every week. Nothing much came of it, although I do have an interview today. If I get hired, then I’ll update and call this one successful.
Get to under 300 lbs — I got to 310 lbs. I did not achieve this goal, but I knew it wasn’t going to be easy to begin with. Having my plateau and my few slip up days in the middle of the month are what did it I think.
Get up to 2.5 miles in an hour on the treadmill — I can do this, and started jogging some as well.
Continue to weight train and work out – I weight trained 3 days a week, and worked out every day except for my one day of failure.
Continue to stay smoke and soda free – I did not touch a cigarette or soda all month long
On to this months goals

Awesome Kieth. Keep sticking to your goals. I hope your ankle feels better. I have knee problems so I knoww hat your going through. Keep up the good work!
I know it might sound a little flaky, but just get a large ankle wrap from wal-mart and start wearing it every day over your sock but in your shoe, it should help with the pain in the ankle. I know because when I got back into running my ankle killed me!
