Well...my username says it all.

Here are all the symptoms: I was in my second jiu jitsu class and rolling around on the mat at the end of class with a group of guys half my age. I was forced to "tap" not because I had been "submitted." It was due to lack of air because I was out of breath. I can't shake off the calories like I use to. I'm not as quick as I use to be. It takes longer to recover from my workout sessions in the gym. Diagnosis: I think I've come face to face with my mortality a.k.a "Mid Life Crisis."

My boxing instructor said it the best," You need to hurry up and have your baby" then pointed to my stomach. A-a-a-a-r-r-r-g-g-h-h-h-!-!
Well...that sums it up for me. I figure I have maybe a good twenty years left if I'm blessed to get that far. I want to be in the best shape and state of mind I can. FatSecret is going to be a good friend of mine. I wish everyone the best. Don't give up and don't beat yourself up. Just keep truck'in along and we'll all be fine... :)
