After an emotionally trying year that resulted in general apathy, I have finally reached the point where I could no longer stand what I had become, and have taken back control of my life. Chief among these actions was the decision to clean up my diet and get back in the gym.
What a difference it makes! After only a week, I have added muscle, lost fat, and feel 100% better overall. Not only that, but my sleeping patterns have returned to normal. Previously, I would wake up after only 3-4 hours of sleep – not healthy, let alone optimal – but now that I’m training again, I’m usually sleeping 8-9 a night.
