My main motivation to get healthy was watching my Grandfather die. It was a long process where one organ after another shut off and more machines were added to keep him alive. He was absolutely miserable. I looked at my own life and realized I was on the same track unless I changed my lifestyle.

Once in high school I ended up playing video games for three days straight with some friends - only a couple hours of sleep here and there. At the end I felt just like a slug, almost sick with having done nothing that would ever do anything for me. Exercise makes me feel opposite of that!
