Far too often I trained super hard and went all out for a week, month, even 6 months only to wake up one day and tell myself fuck it and quit. The purpose of this blog is to share my journey in becoming healthier and to put pen to paper on my efforts to be less sick, increase stamina, be more alert, enjoy food, and just be happier (and less depressed but I will get to that some other time).
