Warning – this is a late-night rant.

I guess by the time I'm done typing it'll be an early morning rant!

Sometimes I wonder if I should tell people what they "want to hear" as oppose to what they NEED to hear.

I've got a question for you...

Are you still interested in toning up?

Are you still interested in your dream body?
