I used to be an athlete....

I used to be in great shape. Running, hiking, wrestling, lacrosse....anything and everything was on the table. I never really had to work out because I was so active. I am now 34 years old, own an insurance agency, and sit on my *kitten* in front of a computer all day. I drink a lot of beer and have a two pack a week habit. This past weekend I went to a music festival that was on the side of a ski slope. We had to lug all our camping equipment up the side of this hill and I felt like I was going to die. It made me realize that if I don't turn my life around now, I will cut my time on this earth significantly short. That is why I am here and saying hello.

    Well I applaud you for recognizing you can be healthier. And I know 34 probably doesn't seem young to you, but as someone who is 53 I wish I had made more changes back then. Good luck!!
