You know what's ironic?
As car guys we love tinkering, modifying, and problem solving. But all too often people in this hobby/lifestyle neglect the single greatest machines we'll ever own - our bodies. We feed ourselves **** food and fall short on maintenance, and we wonder why we don't run right.
Can you imagine putting low grade fuel in a race car? Then why is it okay to put it in our bodies?
^^ This was the epiphany I had when I started my journey and it helped put things in perspective.
Congrats on achieving your goals as well. As with most good things in life...Definitely not easy, but it's worth it.
