After not working out for several months I forgot how hard it is. It could go without saying but I’m going to say it anyway, the first week absolutely kicked my ass! The sensation of feeling muscles I forgot I have took some getting used to, but I’m starting to like it.

Now that I’m in California, I need to look for a permanent place to live. For now a good friend has allowed me to disrupt his life for a couple weeks until I can find said place.
