Hey Everyone.
I am 43 and am trying to find the time to train. I have a 16 month old son and find my training opportunities are quite a bit less these days. When I do have time, I am freaking tired! I want to be able to pass martial arts on to my son when he is old enough to start training. This is a frustrating time for me. Wish me luck. LOL

Take care

Been there, done that, still doing it

Got up earlier and went to bed earlier and I had more time. However not much more, but more... oh and I'm still tired

I hear that, fortunately my son is just getting old enough to go and hang out while I train or teach. The not quite potty-trained issue has reared its head a couple of times. :D

Welcome, and good luck. The kids will always come first, and that's okay. You'll gradually get more time as they get older - I enjoy practicing with 2 of my kids in the park when the weather's nice.

Hey there kalihand! Nice to have you here. Remember, we all have the same numer of hours in the day. If it`s important to you (and fun) you`ll find the time for it. Hang in there......but don`t be afraid to grab a nap with your boy sometimes.

Welcome,

The most important thing is not the pace........but simply never quitting.

Thank you for all of your wonderful support and advice. I am happy to say that I have resumed my training. I am getting into the gym 3 to 4 times a week. I just had to make up my mind to "git er dun". I am also happy to say that my energy level is improving so that when I get home, I still have time and fuel to play with my family. Eating organic has been a big key as well. I just can't say enough good things about eating healthy.
