I am officially a bodybuilder and that feels so awkward to admit!! I have been preparing for the show since February of this year..leaning down and adding muscle at the same time.

Why You Should Have An Accountability Partner| How To Ensure Success
I read an article awhile back that got me to thinking. It talked about the different people we all need in our lives to help us along the way. After reading it, I did a quick scan of the people in my life to see if I was equipped with the right folks to call on based on what issues may arise.
