_____________________________
I didn't make it to exercise on Tuesday and Wednesday due to a big schedule change.
I did make it to Zumba today, but I was exhausted and "phoned it in" a little.
I'd tell my teenage self to study harder in high school and stay away from drugs. I ended up getting a Master's Degree in Statistics and I've been very successful in my career, but I definitely lost a couple years of my life and had to get sober (I'm still sober) in 2006.... I could have avoided some really difficult years.
