5/30 Serious Leg Growth on my 21st Bday!

Today was a good day, not only because it is my 21st birthday but also because I finally feel appreciated for what I do. I went to the gym this morning as usual to train my usual clients and i was showered with gifts. Every single one, back to back to back. A warm feeling took over my body today a feeling of being loved for what I do. I changed these peoples lives so much that it shows in everything they do, I am so proud of each one of them for what they accomplished! Today made my job all that much more rewarding just by knowing that I made a difference in these people's lives!

So I left the gym today with an even bigger positive high! I decided to turn that positive energy into an even bigger rush to boost my workout even further today!
