Let the Journey Begin | Fitness for Fatherhood

I was 30 pounds overweight. As I was sitting on the couch, looking at his attractive, thin family, it hit me: I don?t care about my health. They do. I want to be like them.

My best friend from high school was trying to be polite. ?You don?t look very overweight,? he said. I responded my grabbing my stomach nervously and showing him how wrong he was.

For the first time in my life, I was envious of someone?s health. I wanted what he had. More important than wanting it, I realized for the first time that I needed it.

That was almost 13 weeks ago. Today, I am 25 pounds lighter and can run a 5K. More importantly, I can keep up with my infant son.

My biggest accomplishments over the last 13 weeks, however, are becoming disciplined and consistently exercising self control. My?commitment?to physical health has benefits beyond my body.?I now have a morning routine. At work, I get tasks done early and without being asked. At home, I?m motivated to take on bigger projects and to help my wife around the house.

Thirteen weeks sounds like a long time, but it is only the beginning of my journey. As I eluded to in the previous paragraph, the journey is not just about physical health. It?s about becoming healthy in every aspect of life.

This blog will detail my journey, while sharing insights about what I?m learning as I go.

Here we go.
