  • Motivation

    November 14, 2014

    Not sure about you but this time of year makes me very demotivated. Unlike spring where I want to get out in the sun and ride somewhere, fall and winter make me lethargic. It’s like I need to hibernate. This is especially difficult on my desire to work out and lose a bit of weight. … Read more
