Follow along through the challenges of fatherhood and fitness

Follow me as I grow as a father, continue to improve my fitness, and hopefully continue losing weight towards my goal of 60lbs (10lbs to go! 8.25.12).

I never set out to be overweight but I love beer, wine, scotch, and all sorts of terrible food. I didn't choose to get out of shape it just sort of happened. All that changed when I found out my wife was pregnant in December 2010. I decided it was time to set myself up to be a fitdad not a fatdad.

No one ever said it would be easy though. Dealing with a newborn and trying to continue exercising as well as being there for my wife as her husband and friend. As our son gets older and our family grows what impact will that have on my fitness and diet? Stay tuned to find out! Subscribe via email, or add me to your reader.

Update.

Sorry the updates have been few and far between recently.  Life has been busy and so has work.  Guess I shouldn't really complain about that.

Weekly weigh in went well down to a shade over 187 now, only about 10 lbs to go till my goal weight.

Went for a great run a few days ago.  Covered 5 miles in less than 44 minutes.  Hopefully I can hold this pace or better during the marathon relay.  My goal for my 6.7 mile leg is to finish in under an hour.

I haven't been on the bike much in the last few weeks except for a few short rides on the trainer in the mornings before work when my legs were too tired to run.

Noah is doing great, pretty sure without a doubt he said DA to me the other day.  He is now pulling to stand with minimal or no assistance.  He can do the sign language for "MILK," and he shakes his head back and forth like he is showing "NO" even though I think he is just doing it to get that dizzy feeling.  Because he hasn't really used it to say NO, except once when I was trying to feed him cereal.  Gonna try to discourage him from using NO too much, but it is hilarious to watch him sit and shake his head till he falls over.

Life is good...weight in this week may not be, I have not been a good weight watchers disciple this week.

More soon friends, thanks for reading!
