Back to My Pen and Pad

It has been a little over a year since I have posted to this blog. Back then I was posting rarely with fitness tips, ideas, and rants. Since that time my business partner and I have had our time filled up with building a training business. We went from a 600 square foot gym with 3 trainers to a 3000 square foot gym with 6 trainers in a years time. We have expanded from strictly personal training to personal as well as small group training, conditioning classes, and yoga. We are not where we want to be but we are definitely on our way. Needless to say, during this time my priorities changed and my writing took a hit.

I have now reached a point where a wake up call has been given. I need to get back to the extracurricular things I once enjoyed such as writing. During the past year I have went through a lot both physically as well as mentally. I lost, I learned, and I definitely grew. Just as we all do I hit some low points and let darkness take me down but I can honestly say I am pulling myself away from that.

This leads to the reasons behind bringing back my writing. I have never enjoyed writing nor have I been that talented. However, I have always used it as a way to get my thoughts and feelings out to the world. When I stop writing, I start bottling and that never ends well. So I have decided to bring back my writing, only this time I am going to use my blog as my outlet for everything, not just fitness. Yes, I will still spread my knowledge of training and health, but I will also incorporate myself and my life into this site in hopes to keep my mind clear and allow my thoughts out.

Will anyone actually read this or care? I don't know. Maybe not. But maybe I will be able to help someone going through the same things as I. Maybe I will learn through my own keyboard. Maybe I will be able to link my passion for lifting heavy objects to life lessons. Hell, maybe after a while I will have enough thoughts on paper to put together a book! Who knows. But what I do know is it is time for me to get back to writing and expression...for me.
