The month of may is over. It was a good month in many ways. I’ve taken some fairly big steps in improving myself and doing things I’ve always meant to do. I’m currently enrolled to attend a technical college in the fall. Its looking good, and it looks like with financial aid I’ll be able to cover most the cost of attending.
As usual for my progression posts, I’ve posted new pictures of myself on my progression page. You can find the link on the right under “navigation”. I posted a disclaimer, but I’ll say it again here. I don’t dress up for my photos. You get me how I am that day.
My ankle is doing much better. I’ll always have pain there, I have for years, but as I lose weight, it gets better. I was told by my brother that I limp much less now then I used to. Which I never did much to begin, but even less is good. I feel a lot more “fit” then I have in the past. I enjoy doing my cardio, working up a sweat. I kinda feel like a new person in that regard. I used to despise that “work out” feeling.
I’ve started doing some HIIT on the exercise bike. I like it I think, and I’d like to incorporate some running/sprinting HIIT in the future. Just something to work towards.
So goals…
