I'm 45 yrs old today! And I love it!!

[inky-e]

Wow! Another year has gone by....I think I'm in the best shape of my life today...even as a young man and an athlete..I wasn't like I am now. I really never thought I'd live this long...In my late teens I thought I'd never make it to 25...then 25 rolled around and I was sure I wouldn't hit 30! I'm saying this because of the life I was leading at those times...I ran with a really dangerous group of guys and drinking and drugging was the norm...not to mention all the illegal shit I was doing...When 30 came around it didn't even register.....I was caught up in the "life" and was pretty much hell bent on self destruction...and anyone else that got in my way! At around 38 I just couldn't do it anymore...it was all catching up with me....the whole lifestyle of sex..drugs...alcohol...guns...shootouts...and everything associated with the Outlaw life...just didn't seem that appealing anymore....I was distancing myself from my family..wife and kids.....and getting that much closed to meeting with the reaper....and away from God. I'm so happy and grateful I made the decision to get out and get help....retiring from the club was easier than I thought it was gonna be...although it did come at a price..which I will never discuss..ever!..almost 7 years has gone by...it wasn't a total cakewalk..there have been some times when I wanted back "IN"....but my kids come before the Brotherhood!...As many of you know a few years ago I let myself get very heavy..fat...330 lbs at my peak....I was at the same crossroad again..I had to make a choice ..and I made it....got into losing weight then building muscle...long story short...here we are..This site and some of the members here have been very instrumental in me succeeding as I have....who would of thought..that the filthy..greasy ..Godless ..fat biker..would one day be a personal trainer and helping others in their quest to change their lives...I feel so blessed...especially lately..things are going better than they have in decades...I wouldn't trade this life for any other! I guess I'm just in gratitude this morning...got up at 5am...went to work..opened the gym doors...had my coffee...its a great day!..In closing...to all the young guns here that have read this...and have family...tell them how much you love them...if you're doing crazy backdoor shit...its never too late to change...and live in the moment...yesterday's gone..and tomorrow is not promised...all we really have is NOW! Much Love and Respect to the Bros here that have helped me along the way..with words of support and encouragement..and all the great advice too.......INK!

Happy B-day inky-e i am 36 right now and happy to see that there is still hope when i reach 45 LOL.

I used to train with older people at my old gym when i mean older i mean 50-60 and they where is sick shape, its all about keeping active.

You are a great inspiration for others and dont forget that, its so easy growing old to just let yourself become a mess.

I never been 330 pounds but last year i was 230 pounds, and i know the feeling YAGGGGG.

I am fixing my back pain and getting back in training, i fact i got myself a copy of the P90X program at the flea market really cheal 20$ for the whole thing inclucing diet and all information.

I plan to get on this has soon has my body is rehabed. 22% bodyfat gotta go.
