There have been times in my life I really had no idea how some people could choose any sort of health journey and stay motivated.

You know, I know, we all know the healthy lifestyle changes we need to make to get into the best bodies of our lives — and live our best lives — but most of us still struggle to make them. Can’t we just make the choice to get healthy and … do it? Don’t we […]
