Today is the first day of my diet. This is new territory and I will have to do a gut check every time I drink my protein shakes. I just am not used to this kind.
I am doing an all Vegan diet to try a new challenge. So far, eh… Supplements are not the [...]

Yesterday I hit [...]

So I did.
It sucked.
My legs were shaking bad and my heart almost exploded. After I was done [...]
