    Things are extremely hectic right now for me. We just moved last weekend and I just started school. Money is extremely tight after the move and I'm really stressed about that (in fact, I had my very first migraine yesterday.. I'm guessing from stress?) and I haven't hit the gym in over a week. I figure with how much work I did last weekend I kinda made up for it, but still. I need to get back on track. I hope this challenge will help!!
