Or someone in spirit, at least? Lol I've just started a new job where I'm working 55-60 hours a week, and I have NOT been working out afterward because I just want to go home at the end of the day and relax. Only on the weekends I workout, and even after not working out for a week it's hard to get things in gear again. I…
