I did not plan it. That's the thing. It was one of those mornings where the work calendar was light, the youngest had not yet started her commentary on my sitting posture, and I woke up before my alarm with some kind of restless energy that I honestly did not recognize at first. Not motivation, not inspiration, just... movement. Like the body had an opinion for once and decided to say it out

Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, lived a group of athletes who were constantly plagued by injuries and illnesses. They tried everything from rubbing unicorn tears on their muscles to drinking elixirs made from the sweat of Olympians.However, nothing seemed to work until they stumbled upon the magical potion of a healthy diet.
