A quick catch up…

So, I’m a little rubbish with my progress photos. I have a hard time getting good photos on my tablet, when I’m on my own as the timer is only for 10 seconds, leading up to the point 2here an automatic photo can be taken. The gym I work at recently closed down, so I don’t have as much space …

Day 5 – Progress so far!

Hello there! This is from Day… 5?  It was a leg day. Splits are getting a bit better already, but still a long way to go! I just took my first rest day (day 7) after going to a sweat lodge for the first time and deciding to take it easy. My goal is to do about an hour each …
