This is sort of a continuation of my April 2016 wrap up post, but in the midst of this rough period of my life, one thing that’s remained positive is my journey to healthiness. Today’s workout was led by a trainer that I’ve never met, and afterward he gave me a pat on the back and said, “you killed it man!” I noticed during the workout he kept a watch on me in the mirror and seemed to be surprised at what I was doing, that someone my size shouldn’t be able to do what I’m doing, and that’s a real testament to the work I’ve put in over the past year and change.
