Workin’ Out

When I started going to the gym a few years ago, I set a goal for myself. I want to do one unassisted pull-up before I die. Yesterday, I took another step closer to that goal.

The gym I use has a machine that allows you to do pull-ups and dips with up to 180 pounds of assistance. Yesterday I was able to do one pull-up with only 70 lbs. of help.

The impossible dream is beginning to seem possible! BTW, my current weight is 284 (down from 326), I’m comfortably into size 46 pants (down from 50), and I’m beginning to fit into 2X shirts again.
