My job does not require the need for surgery and my current life is way more about being with my family. I do want to get back training but i will have to work with what i have and...

    June 12 2013 Is this symptom of not enough carbs in my diet? Been doing well on diet and exercise but last night I fell into the sugar craving. I was rather fatigued yesterday and noticed that running the stairs during the day was a tad harder on me. I felt irritable and tired last night as...
