That's an important part of her job, isn't it?

 

[NancyTree]

@Laura Rainbow Dragon yes, maybe the most important one

This one was a bit tricky..

 

[NancyTree]

My last real check in has been a while. I finished 30 days of LIIT and Cardio&Abs

I am mostly really tired, it's hard to keep my routine. Been to the doctor, but physically I seem to be fine, so it's mainly work that's draining me.
