  3. Hi there,
    almost 2 weeks in, how do you feel with that workout and nutrition plan? How hard is it to stick to? Are you hungry? Sore? How does it compare to the 30/30 challenge? I am just really curious to see what this will do for you and how you are doing on it.
    Keep going, and enjoy your weekend!
