Anyone who knows me and my difficulty with routines knows that this will be extremely hard for me, but I guess my excitement could be enough motivation to keep it going. The hardest part will be to be able to keep it up when Sophia gets back.


Since I have another month to do this without my monkey I hope I make the best of it and get used to my training routine. They say it takes 21 days to develop a habit, right? Wish me luck!
