This year I've made a pact with myself to avoid relationships, Make more money then i've ever made before, and become fit. I've been dieting and exercising since January and I've dropped about 35 lb's and have gotten a bit more muscular

Here's how my progress at the GYM is going, If anyone has any questions about what i've been doing I'll be glad to inform.

Here I weighed around 220:

I would have more old pictures but part of renewing me means forgetting the past and the useless picture that went with it.

Here I weighed about 180:

All in all I think it's a slow loss, but a steady one and I enjoy because I can still have a drink or two on the weekends. As for money, I've recently started my apprenticeship at the UA and busting my ass 4-6 days a week 10 hours a day ,I've finally made a plan on where I want to be in Life, and I want to be a tradesmen. My long term goals include, obtaining my welding certificate and master plumbers license, obtaining an engineering degree, and moving on to a company like tesla motors, lexus.

Financial plans I've already set up an IRA putting in $200 a month and a money market which gets the exact same amount per month, and a plain old liquid savings account which gets about 50 bucks a month and w.e I decide to put in it. I'm 22 but by the time I turn out I want to double the deposits on each account, I plan on using my G.I bill for the OJT I go through with my apprenticeship and save the $700 month I will get for about 2 years, if I save that up I will be able to afford schooling on my own and have extra money on the side to spend.

As far as fun goes I've been going out with my gay friend a lot, to clubs, and he's helping me out a lot. He's my frontman (for now) when it comes to women. We are working on my social skills so I can pick up woman on a dime, he points out my flaws when it comes to social events, very upfront if you've read my previous posts.The trick is he used to be straight, so he still got some tricks up his sleeve. I watch him extensively and I take notes. Right now my biggest hobbies are Clothes, eating....and well drugs. I can't really eat what i want all the time, but I can purchase a nice shirt sometimes and I partake only on the weekends, I study all my habits before and after and do anything I can to hinder any of the negative effects these drugs may have, but I just enjoy being intoxicated in different ways, judge me if you want.There's a lot more to it, but I can't help being intoxicated surrounded by people in a night club I probably have no buisness being in, the fear and excitement and sex and curiosity meshed together by a haze is amazing, some people escape by reading a book, mine is getting faded at clubs. People always worry about habits forming, but I literally can't stand not being sober if I'm not in a club and I only party on the weekends and it's maybe every other weekend ,it's rare I go out consecutive weekends.

TL;DR I was basically kicked out of the military because I can't have pictures of half naked women in my own personal space, It's too offensive. It's cool to fuck sisters behind their back and all, but don't put that as a priority over your best friends when you may not see them again for years. This is just a small taste of how my life has been, but i've been lurking and Now I'm posting, and making changes to my overall fitness,my looks, my outlook, EVERYTHING, I WANT TO BE GREAT, and that is exactly what I'm going to do.
