Week 23
Overall a week marked by exhaustion and new exercise routine. Focusing on diet, exercise, and sleep continue to be my top priority for the month. The theory is that it will improve my energy levels, allowing me to accomplish more of the weekly and daily goals on my plate right now. Additionally I think it will best prepare me for world of fatherhood.
