“This time I’m serious, this time I’m determined”. “I will be better than last year”. Sound familiar? It’s that obnoxious teeny little gym rat sitting on your shoulder, whispering in your ear and haunting you online. And now it’s me! Before you click, bear with me.
I belong to a great gym, but I simply don’t go enough. On any given day I am greeted by David Duchovny sipping a smoothie, or … Read More
