Being able to consistently go to the gym for a year is no small achievement, and yes, everything compounds exponentially the more you keep at it. I will be watching your evolution with great Attention & Concern (TM), and perhaps this will motivate my sorry old self to get his bee-hind in the gym as well. Dude, this is amazing news.
