Ever since I resigned from my old job, I've felt 100 times better. I lost 20 pounds. My thyroid levels are stable (I have Hyperthyroidism).

I did do a few squats here and there but it's nothing like doing the squat challenge - which I've got to start again. I also did the treadmill. I probably burned … [Read more...]
