    At times your focus is everywhere (especially around the holidays) except on yourself. And you tend to let your good habits slip away a little bit. Having an extra serving of fries, an extra drink at the bar and totally blowing off the gym. And it’s a treat when it happens once. But when it…

    My friend looked at me without my shirt on and suggested lifting a weight or two would save me from having a body of a child while being an adult. And that was all the encouragement I needed. I joined a gym the next day. Back then exercise was all about me and helping me…
