Fitness Maturity

I still can't believe all that has happened to me over the past 2 1/2 years. It seems like yesterday that I was opening up my P90X box. The 1st thing that came to mind was, what was I getting myself into. I felt like this inexperienced little boy stepping into this adult world that I knew nothing about. The excitement and anticipation I felt was that of child waiting to open up his presents on Christmas morning. An anxiety that brought about a curiousness, not knowing what I was going to unwrap. Man, was I in for a surprise. Lets just say I manned up real quick.
In my early adult life, I would workout and stay fit, go to the gym regularly, eat whatever I wanted, and not have to worry about gaining excess weight. I had youth on my side and very active metabolism. I didn't know that I as I got older , I would need to concentrate more on fitness and actually eat healthy food. "Eating healthy!" Are you kidding me? I figured if I worked out, I can eat whatever I wanted to.
As time moved forward, my age increased, and so did my weight. Many years had passed and many tings had occurred in my life. I got out of the service, moved to Vegas, got married, had a child, got divorced, my mother passed away, and next thing I knew, I was on my way to ruining my health for the rest of my life. I was 41 years old and I felt like sh#@, physically and especially mentally.
I was done feeling horrible so I went and purchased P90X and that changed my life dramatically. This began the start of my fitness transformation which in turn began my fitness maturity. There has been many great things that I have learned about myself when it comes to my body and my overall fitness. Gaining knowledge and wisdom is the inevitable outcome the more you train. As I got stronger and noticed significant changes in my body, I thirsted to know more and absorb as much great information about physical fitness as I could. The more I fed myself about fitness, the more I realized I wanted to try new training regimens which would have a huge impact on my overall maturity level.
The way I did this was through trial and error and paying close attention to the different stimuli that effects my body and using them for continual physical and psychological growth.
