It’s been a month since I embarked on redefining my life from the inside out – getting healthy and fit – with Grant Hill. One month since I’ve been getting up at 5 am every day (well, every weekday, I sometimes sleep in a little on the weekends) to get my butt kicked in what is aptly called #mybootcamp. Those of you who were kind enough to comment and cheer me on (thank you!

As I was on a treadmill the other day (working to get back to my “fighter’s weight&# ) I found myself noticing the little things all around me. This is what happens to me once the endorphins begin to kick in and I’m not breathing too heavily (I wasn’t in a boot camp session that day)…. a leg extension machine sticking. the frayed edges of a stair-stepper. some meathead staring at himself *way too long*. the syncopated rhythms of other runners on their treadmills. … and the photo at the st
