I was inconsistent with my workouts for years... I'd workout for 6-7 weeks, then miss 3-4 months. I got very frustrated with my lack of progress until I realized I was probably starving my body. Adding the additional 1500 - 2000 calories per day has had some good effects.

I love the way an intense workout also clears my head and allows me to focus better at work and keeps me fit and healthy.
