Wow, lots of articles this week
The easiest new years resolutions article had a LOT of shockingly good ideas. Between the seltzer, looking at my phone less, etc etc…. All really good things most of which I’m going to try to adopt (except for that half-calf one… WTF?)
Also, I’m pretty convinced that SEALs are super-human. I think that we could all be better served to act more like them in our day to day.
Haha, I figured you would never go for the half-caf one… but I swear I love my decaf.
