I did a lot of things that I regretted and I certainly paid for my mistakes.

Business, Movies	113
I don't want to let my guard down and feel too comfortable. If you become complacent, you start feeling entitled. I'm ready to go dig ditches if I have to.

I work out Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday; take Thursday off; then I work out Friday and Saturday.
