So you want to know my backstory? I'm a guy in my mid-30s. I've never been incredibly healthy, from diet to activity to mental health. So, on June 25th, 2016, after finally being fed up with my self-apathy, I started taking myself seriously. I quit smoking, stepped into a gym for the first time in over ten years, fixed my diet, and have been going strong since. I'm in this to finally feel proud of myself for something and maybe even eventually like who I see in the mirror. Bilbo Baggins is my spirit animal: I didn't even want adventure at first, but here I am anyway and learning that it's where I belong.
