So yeah, he’s mine.  Best husband and life partner ever.  Did I mention he used to be a chef, so he can cook and does most of our weekly meal prep.  

He even does the laundry and cleans the kitty litter boxes.  

He has offered me unwavering love and support during my own transformation.  

I’m glad I can return the favor by using my skills and expertise to support his unique fitness journey.
