CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
My wife and I are taking off in an RV to travel the country soon. While out there, I’m going to need to find a way to hold myself accountable and be self disciplined in my workouts. I talk about self discipline a lot but it’s very important to me. Pretty much nothing good can come without self discipline. The best things we can do start from within and take work to come to fruition.

You cant out King your Queen- The first F is simple fitness, but its not just working out, in fact most of us cant just work out but we also need to understand what we are putting into our bodies. There was a time in the past 15 years of my life where i weighed 300 pounds. i was lazy and did not care what i put into my body. its important that we understand that setting up guiderails for ourselves to know what we can eat and still improve our fitness is a key part of being a HIM.

YHC read a small piece from Q Source, i encourage everyone to check it out and think about how your treating your Queen.
