Today I wanted to share a very personal story, I hope it doesn’t sound too depressing, it comes with a good ending so it shouldn’t.
Many people don’t know and would never guess unless I tell them, but several years back I was diagnosed with a Bipolar Disorder.

Nutrition is 80 percent of your effort, it’s not how much you workout, but how well you schedule your meals and what you eat. So many people give up on getting into shape because they don’t see the results they want right away, or as fast as they like. It’s not just dieting or cutting down on fat, junk food or carbohydrates.
