My Progress
What changes have I experienced and how have I improved with my physical being?
Backstory
In late 2012 I was diagnosed with the Gout, and shortly after that I moved to another city to start a new job. I didn't make the biggest or best changes with my life regarding my health, and proceeded to experience on-and-off pain since. After the COVID lockdowns in 2020 and being laid off, I had hit around 300 lbs. in weight, and I decided enough was enough, and spent the next year dropping 70 lbs. Since then, I've plateaued at that weight, though I am stronger now than I was then. This is where I plan on documenting my progress.
Progress Update May 01, 2025: Finally back to the gym as of yesterday. I'm simplifying my goals and focusing on back and legs almost exclusively, as they tend to give me the most trouble. Generally, back off the ibuprofen unless I'm really in rough shape in the morning.
Progress Update December 02, 2024: I forgot to weigh in today but I'll try and get it in tomorrow. I haven't been back to the gym for a bit here again, and I'm currently 'detoxing' off of ibuprofen successfully, though we'll see how I feel after a full days sleep tomorrow, as I'm on nights right now for this and next week.
Progress Update November 26, 2024: I weighed in this week at 234 lbs, but I have not yet gone to the gym. I let Monday get the best of me, and I hope to resolve that tomorrow. My workouts will be divvied up rather than going all in, full body every gym day.
