I am a creature of habit, so I changed my f**king habits. Every few weeks I feel my body getting stronger. I add more workouts, I exercise with\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/pauldominic_\/\" role=\"link\" tabindex=\"0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@pauldominic_<\/a><span>\u00a0who is basically a body builder. But if you don\u2019t have one of those then YOU have to be your own champion. Find music you like! Ride a bike! Go for a swim! I thought I wanted to lose weight, but it\u2019s so much more.
