When I Started:
Dec, 2008
How I Started:
My life was not going in a positive direction, no job for a couple years, Drank and smoked pot every day. sat at a computer playing world of warcraft 8-10 hours a day. One day i got tired of it when i realized i would be in the same place doing the same thing if not dead. Stoped playing games, thought hard about what iv always wanted to do but never had the money to. Tryed to quit drinking and smoking pot to take that money and use it for what i never got to do. Martial arts was my choice. 2 years later, i have a great job, a great dojang and things are going perfect for me. Yet i didnt know anything about nutrition and so my martial arts is slacking. Im now here to improve my nutrition in order to bring the best out of the art that brought the best out of me.
Why I Love It:
It's Saving my life
How I Stay Motivated:
Music, Internet Video's, Forums, You!

This is the day i started learning about nutrition and changed my eating habits, sleeping habits and stoped drinking alcohol.
This is where i stoped. I was getting somewhere and decided to take a break which i never came out of.

It is difficult when you feel unsupported. But you'll always find ppl here who will encourage you. Finding your balance is a good place to be. I'm sending you some support: Keep at it. Don't give up. :)

There was no intention for my blog to encourage WoW playing. :) Quite the opposite. I love WoW but I had to deal with it like you do any other addiction. I am far more excited by the changes I'm seeing in Real Life. See ya on the battlegrounds!

Eesh, that's no good. Write down all the ingredients, just in case it happens again with a different product and its an allergic reaction. The REDuction is doin fine for me, although slower going than I had hoped.

Hey man, you can lose that gut! Sounds like you've made up your mind that you want to change your life. Take it one day at a time - stick with it and before you know it, 6 months will have passed and you'll have a flat stomach! Maybe even a six pack! Good luck.
