Summer of Fitness 10: My Kingdom for a Coke!
Last week was the 4th of July, so there was no SoF post, although let’s be honest, detailing progress is not what these are about any more, yeah? On with it then… I am in Day 11 of my soda … Continue reading
Summer of Fitness 8: Coke Will Be the Death of Me
