I’m not one of those people who can jump right into the ‘new year, new me’ mindset on the 1st. I usually need time to recover from the holidays and I strongly believe in reviewing the previous year before I make any decisions about the upcoming one. But, it’s officially the first week in January,

5 steps to follow when trying to get fit again via @ExSloth | ExSloth.com

Fitness-wise, the last year has been a little rocky for me. I won’t go into detail about all the things that I thought were more important than getting my butt in the gym, but looking back, it’s clear that most of them were just excuses and I just got lazy.  I’d like to think that I

5 things you need to do to stay healthy while traveling via @ExSloth | ExSloth.com

I’m finally back home in Trinidad and apart from a little post-travel grogginess, I’m feeling pretty great. Usually, long flights and I don’t mix and I lose a couple days to ‘travel recovery’. But I came in so close to Christmas this year that I wanted to try my best to avoid that lost time. So,
