You don&#39;t ever have to share them with anyone, but having them can be helpful to feel like you&#39;re getting somewhere. It&#39;s like watching a small plant (or human) grow: its hard to see the changes day-to-day but it&#39;s more obvious in pictures week to week or month to month. You&#39;ll probably hate them. Taking good workout pics is a skill -- and a stupid one -- and loving your body is hard.

They&#39;re a #queer owned and operated shop that has always done an excellent job with our vehicle.<br/><br/>They&#39;re also super tech savvy and use SMS for updates and communication -- no need for phone tag, or even the phone.
