Must admit that it was very tough to stay on course, it still is, but I’m loving the state of mind that I’m in for these past 15 months.” “I hope it stays the same. My #MondayMotivation is now me and not others on the gram loving themselves. It’s been a while since I have felt this way!! This is me this is who i am (chest hair included),” he added.
