I have a friend who is a Phyical Therapist and is very health concious. She has been my motivation for the past couple years. She has continued to encourage me along the way. I started going to her for PT back in 2005. We developed a great friendship and it is through the friendship that I became more interested in improving my overall health.

I had struggled with some minor depression and anxiety issues when we first met. I confided in her about some personal issues and she convinced me that if I could get into a regular excercise routine that it could only help with all my issues.

I still have very crazy sleeping habits. I usually only get about 3-4 hours of sleep @ night before I go into my full time job. However, I am religious about getting a few more hours of sleep after I get home in the morning from work. I also work a second part time gig several days a week. I am currently in my busy season so it definitely cuts into having a regular routine. I have just made a comittment to myself that I want to look better and feel better. So I try to set aside at least a few hours throughout the week that I can get to the Gym and workout. I still haven't worked out the best eating schedule eaither. But I have been better at eating small meals a few times a day. I am still not much into having a good breakfast. I prefer lunch and dinner meals over breakfast food. I have slowly cut back on sodas and have opted to drinking more water throught the day. I still love my ice cold beers in the evenings. I know that if I ever cut the hops and barley out of my life I would be as fit as a fiddle. But we all have a vice.

I am definitely not a role model for anyone to follow. My routine works for me and probably wouldn't work for most. I just happen to be at a real good place in my life right now. So, I am sure that is a contributing factor to my extra energy.

I appreciate the response and look forward to hearing more thoughts on the subject.
