Quotes to ponder:
"There is no end to your fitness journey."
"There’s a big difference between goals that are attainable, and those that are sustainable. In other words: just because you can doesn’t mean you should."
"We are going to fluctuate and change moment-to-moment forever. It’s all you, and it’s always changing, and that’s perfect."
