Finished the third week. I feel a bit more confident than I did at the start. I’m looking forward to the next run too.

Cool! Yeah week4 seems like it’s going to be a big step up but I’m trusting the process 😂 I hope we both stick at it!

Thank you. It feels a bit like that! How long was it before you got hooked?
