First things first, I would like to address the negative comments that have been recently posted on my blog. I’m not sure whom you are, but I do not accept or appreciate the negative energy you are sending my way.

Let's say that you're a homeowner in Sandusky and you recieve a letter from the local zoning board which explains that your neighbor has applied for a variance to modify his property.  You learn that your neighbor is seeking to raise the level of his property and install a 6 ft.

I have had another pretty good week. Exercise-wise, I had two weight/cardio workouts with my personal trainer Trevor Tieche of Bodi N Balance and he wrote another workout that I did on my own. I also did two extra cardio/core workouts on my own.
