ETFnerd Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 “There are those who work all day. Those who dream all day. And those who spend an hour dreaming before setting to work to fulfill those dreams. Go into the third category, because there there’s virtually no competition.”-Steven J RossToday I was thinking about my life. In my 20s, I was a national karate champion. I was a student with few responsibilities other than doing well in school and preparing to advance my career... i had a lot of free time to train and devote to my sporting goals......today, I'm 42 with a family to feed, college tuition to save, a career that becomes more demanding with greater responsibilities, etc... I have goals and ambitions for my family and work... the time i devote to my family is sacred to me... i sacrifice sleep to get things done......in this backdrop... can I get in the best shape of my life...?why the f*ck not...??? i don't care what u think of me. unless u think i'm awesome. in which case u're right.

oystergirl Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 nerd boy, I love how introspective you are...I personally feel to be a good parent, wife, mother, sister, brother, worker, friend you MUST treat yourself with love and kindness and respect and give yourself everything you would give to the ones you love. You are your sole vehicle for your soul...so take care of it! can you get in the best shape of your life--certainly.... The real world is bizarre enough for me....Blue Oyster Cult!

Good Row G Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 See now we're forced to be smarter about fitness. No we're not as leisure-rich. But it forces us to squeeze every drop of goodness out of our workouts / meals. We can do that, and come out better for it.Go nerd! Once and future ranger. Link to comment
