not much had been going on, Ive been working and staying busy and taking what time i can to just get out and hang with friends. the biggest news i have is that as of yesterday i am now wearing a 31 waist in pants. i have been keeping up with a mild workout along with vitamins and a protein drink 3 times a day as my nutritionist has me on. i have put 3 more pounds on in about 3 weeks, it's a bit slower but the wight seems to be staying on and lack of stress has me resting better. so all in all i am taking step by step to get in a better state, body wish, health wise and mind wise. it may not seem like much to many but seeing my old self starting to come back as i look into the mirror has been a lot of what keeps me going. after seeing how much chris had spent on gyms, trainers supplements, vitamins, and the talk of wanting to go so far as start taking steroids to get bigger i had all but got burned out on anything close to working out, but i am back and more set to what i want and who i am going to come about being more healthy. i saw that by stopping smoking that i had the will and power to change and that setting my mind would not be easy but was in my reach.and it was something i could do at my own pace. I've been lucky to have friends and coworkers that keep me on track and keep me going, thank you. here is to what will come. this is not the end. is it not that beginning of the end it is only the end of the beginning. :)
