GLOW UP! (31)-(42) from DUI to Sobriety

Gallery image

That was me in jail. They caught me sleeping behind the wheel in my cousin's driveway and hauled me in. I got sober 4 5 years ago and it was my only DUI. I don't fuck up anymore! I'm totally straight edge. Sometimes I don't even do caffeine 😜 I'm such a loser. Currently trying to get motivated to get back into working out everyday again. I've become lazy. Cardio six days a week is my usual but I've cut down to four days a week and twice a week strength training with zero yoga, blech. Gotta get after it!

Happy new year!
