91. I had an epiphany...

<p>I had an epiphany today. Writing and talking fitness can be boring and I think that sometimes I just sound like Charlie Browns parents.<br> What is interesting is why living a fit life is important to me. Why now in my 50’s it’s more important than ever. What am I doing, how am I doing it and what crazy bullshit runs through my head?</p> <p><br> <br> One night several weeks ago a I threw out an idea to start a podcast called Think and Be Fit: Fitness Redesigned. Why not? Now we have started a closed FB group by the same name. Is just doing pushups enough? Can you use fitness as a cornerstone for change? Absolutely!</p> <p><br> <br> How and why would I wake up at 3:30am, go to bed at 9:30pm(ish) and do it all over again the next day most days of the week, when I could punch a clock, make a decent living, earn PTO and worry a lot less? Could I do that if I wasn’t healthy?<br> <br> <br> <br> It’s kinda funny because years ago one of my sisters said the biggest thing that would hold me back was my education. I didn’t really understand what she meant. I think today I figured it out. Understanding and change takes time. She meant that I was taught to do things in a certain scientific way and so have potentially millions of others, but what those millions haven’t done is experienced life in the way I have. No one has and no one ever will. That gives me a unique perspective on fitness, life, health, love, dreams and oh so much more.</p> <p><br> <br> My hope is that you’ll see yourself somewhere in my stories, because I am no different than you are. I have made poor decisions. I have made good decisions. I leave my clothes on the floor when the laundry basket is only a few feet away. I forget to call my mom. I don’t always want to exercise. I drink to much coffee(not sure that is really possible). I don’t tell those I love that I love them enough. I don’t have the type of relationship I dreamed of with my children. I’d like to drink a beer with you. I would like to hear your dreams. I’d like you to share your scars wit
