It’s now been a month, since I started back working out! 🏋🏾‍♂️ I feel amazing!! Muscle memory is kicking back in! Getting stronger every day!! Rebuilding my confidence, and continuing my recovery! ❤️‍🩹 Thanks to all of you!! My family. My chosen family. My gym family…in helping and supporting me, through this tough time!! I love you all so much!! Thank you!! 😘🥰💪🏾💪🏾

My 3rd week back hittin’ it 🏋🏾‍♂️ Did Rack Pulls, and maxed out with 315x4! 🤩 Then, pumped up my shoulders, and finished with cardio! Sore…but OHH SO SATISFYING!! 😁💪🏾

Happy Hump Day!! Yesterday, I went to the hospital for my liver biopsy! It wasn’t as bad as I thought! I was chill…and sedated! 😴 Now, we wait for the results ( which I think will be good. 😊👍🏾 ) I can’t workout for a couple of days though ( Argh 😠😞 ) But, that’s ok! Gotta recover, right?! 😊

Hey people! 😊 I’m in the ER at UIC. There’s some fluid around my heart, that has to be drained! That explains the water retention issue I’ve been having. But, I’m ok 🙂 and I will be admitted! LOVE YA!! 😊❤️‍🩹 **kLeukemia

I can’t believe that this was 22 years ago!! I remember that I was on my way to work, downtown. As soon as I got off the Red Line, on Michigan Avenue, it was like a deserted city. I found out immediately what happened, and was told to go back home. Watched the news coverage, and I was shocked!! 😳🫢😢 #911

It’s week 5, going back into lifting weights! I’m currently 229 lbs, and today was Back Day! Looks like the muscle is coming back quite nicely! What do you guys think?! 🤔💭🏋🏾‍♂️ **kLeukemia

Hey people! 😊 My GoFundMe page is going pretty great, thanks to all who donated! Almost at the goal! Please, share the link that’s on my profile, and whatever you like to donate, I will greatly appreciate it! This will so help out in paying for the medical bills from fighting leukemia! Again, thank you all so much!! 😘🙏🏾🙏🏾 **kleukemia

Happy Monday everybody! Thought I would do a Before/After photo comparison! The first photo, was taken when I was 256 lbs, back in 2021. The second photo is my current weight of 228 lbs. Not to sound like a broken record, but you know the story! Again, I’m recovering very well, and started back weight training 2 weeks ago! It appears that my body is responding to my workouts, and starting to see some muscle mass and strength coming back! New goal though…pack back on the muscle, but stay 20-25 lbs lighter! I’m almost 53, so I want to give my heart a break, from carrying that extra weight. New journey, new gains, a renewal on my life! Let the new games continue! 😎🏋🏾‍♂️💪🏾

Happy Saturday everyone! 🙂 I’m recovering from my workout yesterday! It was Chest Day, and I feel great!! I currently weigh 227 pounds! Right where I want to be! Time to pack back on lean and strong muscle!! 💪🏾 Have a great weekend y’all!! 😉

I went to my lab appointment today! Also, had a bone marrow biopsy done too! Gave the doctor quite the workout with the procedure! Lol 😆 Thanks bodybuilding/powerlifting! 😉💪🏾

Since being diagnosed with Acute Leukemia, I’d lost a significant amount of weight and muscle! Briefly, I felt self conscious about my body. But, later regained my confidence and reassurance that I can regain my physique back. The first picture, I was 253 lbs, packed with muscle and strength. The second picture, is my current weight, which is now 220 lbs. The good news is that I gained weight prior to my diagnosis and stay at the hospital. The lightest I weighed was 193 lbs, while I was on chemotherapy. I’m glad that my health is very much improving! Thank you all who have supported me, visited me during my hospital stay! I’m on the right track to recovery ❤️‍🩹 I can’t wait to get back into Beast Mode, at the gym! I miss my Quads family so much! Also, I can’t wait to get back to work! I miss my family and friends at LaSalle Terrace! Thank you all for your prayers, support and love! 🥰😘🙏🏾🙏🏾

Hey everyone! As you know, I was in the hospital for over two months, and was diagnosed with Acute Leukemia. I’m in remission, however the medical bills are starting to surface and are accumulating! I started a GoFundMe to help pay for the medical bills! Any donation would greatly appreciated! Thank you all so much! 😊❤️🙏🏾

It was great working out with my bromo today! Blasted arms, and of course, we had to flex! 💪🏾

No, I don’t have a Valentine 💔 But, all the more for me to continue to improve myself, until I do!

Another successful Leg Day this morning!! Thighs are on FIRE 🔥

Gotta keep the shoulders big and round!! 😜💪🏾💪🏾

Forgot to shoot a video today! My training buddy John and I, blasted Rack Pulls! Maxed out with 675 lbs ( I hit a double, John hit a single ) Good way to start the day! 😉💪🏾

Getting ready for work!! I’ll keep the hair on my head for one more day! 😊😉

I had a good Leg Day on Friday, with my workout partner! I still have the sweep in my thighs!! YAY 😃

Ok! I’ve decided to jump on this art/anime bandwagon! What do you guys think? 🤔
