I Was Still Functioning. I Didn't Realize How Sick Stress Was Making Me.
There was a period of my life when, from the outside, I probably looked fine. I was working, running a business, taking care of responsibilities, showing up for people, and getting things done. If you had asked me how I was doing, I probably would have given you the same answer I hear from so many people today:
"Busy & stressed, but I'm good."
Except I wasn't good.
I was tired and increasingly exhausted. I wasn't sleeping well. My body was tight all the time, my gut wasn't right, and my breathing had become shallow. There were days when I felt like I was running on fumes, but I kept going because that's what I knew how to do.
My Body Was Screaming. Did I Listen?
This spring and summer, I challenged myself to reintegrate powerlifting-style movements into my training.
And…
It did NOT go as planned.
As a former powerlifter, I appreciate this style of training. There’s something incredibly satisfying about getting under a heavy barbell, moving weight, and watching yourself get stronger.
But my body wasn’t quite as enthusiastic.
Two Years Ago I Could Barely Move.
There are moments in life that probably don't look like much to anyone else but mean everything to you. For me, one of those moments happened recently while I was standing on a softball field.
I looked around for a second and thought...
How did I get back here?
I'm 52 years old. I'm pitching. I'm running around a field. I'm playing tennis again. I'm working out again. And most of the time, I'm doing it without thinking twice about whether my body is going to cooperate with me.
