My Journey with Fitness & Nutrition
A lot of people feel bad about not going to the gym for a day. Many people say it is terrible because it’s a sign of becoming lazy!
So why did I see a need to take a full week off and why did I feel so good about it?
I did it because I was TIRED and I feel great for it. Continue reading “A guilt free week away from the gym”
