My new outlook on life has me pretty pleased lately.
I've resolved to do something I have been putting off doing for about three years.
I've trained in martial arts since I was in my teens and I've been specifically training in MMA (cage fighting) for about three years now. It was always something I did as a hobby and only a hobby. I'm an office worker 8 - 10 hours a day five days a week and I go to the gym and mess around 3 or 4 days a week usually. I'm also a victim of getting busy/distracted/lazy and just not going for a few weeks at a time here and there.
Still, I'm big enough, athletic enough, and have enough natural talent that I can beat the majority of the guys in my gym, even some of the ones who do train full time to fight, even in "office-worker" shape.
About a week ago I decided to go for it. I've fixed my diet, it was never horrible, but it wasnt what it needed to be, I'm 6'1 and walk around at about 195 - 200lbs, i can drop to 185 easily and if I cut water weight/train my butt off I can hit 170, I have started training regularly on schedule (6 days a week), and set myself to the task of giving it a go before its too late. I'm 26, if I don't go for it in the next five to nine years, depending, I will never get the chance.
So, here's to chasing your dreams. Fail or succeed I want to be able to look back and not regret never going for it.
