The Wake‑Up Call I Didn’t Want — But Needed
After 17 months of drifting, a sudden scare on a business trip jolted me back into action. What followed was a complete reset of my exercise routine, eating habits, and mindset — and the early results have been nothing short of astonishing. Wow, doesn’t time fly? I haven’t posted in 17 months, which obviously means…
