edited January 1 in Motivation and Support
I am sure you all have seen the motivational pictures that say things like "Reason #9636: Because I am epic!"
Well, I am starting a post and I will start with Reason # 001 and the next person will continue with Reason #002 and so on. I think this is a good way to keep motivated. Why are you on this journey? Why do you get up everyday and push yourself to the max at the gym?
I resolve to post a new reason on my status everyday I go to the gym and this will help remind me why I am going to the gym.

Reason # 001: To sit down and not have a belly roll.... :)
