(Note: I want to share this here on my personal blog, for any of my readers who may not be following the fitness blog. I don’t expect you guys to follow both, but I want to share what happened yesterday. It was a personal triumph. If you do happen to follow both, then sorry for […]

“Look, I’ve never had a dream in my life Because a dream is what you wanna do, but still haven’t pursued I knew what I wanted and did it till it was done So I’ve been the dream that I wanted to be since day one” —No Regrets, Aesop Rock * I had an argument […]
