After battling a years-long amphetamine prescription drug addiction, I got clean in January 2009. Quitting felt fantastic. However, the result of such abuse on my body was an incredibly slow metabolism and a 30 pound weight gain. I was completely devastated, and contemplated going back to drugs to lose the weight. However, sanity prevailed and I decided to finally do it the right way. I changed my eating habits, and worked my butt off. I lost 35 pounds this way. Now, it's time to tone!
