 It seems I often get questions from people who want to lose weight about how to get started. I guess this makes sense because getting started and not getting started usually separates those that talk about it versus those that actually take action and begin the journey. I also get this question as a last resort from those still searching for a magic pill solution who are hoping my response is a specific remedy. Sorry, those answers end up in the overflowing "failure bucket".
 On the topic of getting started, I wanted to share an inspirational story of one of my new dads who is doing a tremendous job in his first couple of weeks. His name is Joe, and he is the perfect new member of the group because he's admittedly overweight, wants to make a change and has two kids he loves deeply and doesn't want to let down. In fact, in one of our first discussions, he shared with me that he quit smoking about six months ago because his kids pleaded with him to do so. This is just the type of story I'm looking for when evaluating a dad's level of commitment.

 Editor's Note: We wish you and your family a happy and safe 4th of July. We will be back with a new post on Tuesday.
Happy 4th of July Weekend, dads! What a great time of year filled with family, fun and great food. Whether you travel to a special location or watch the local fireworks in your town, July 4th is just one of those great family-focused holidays.  I thought I would bring something to light that you might not be giving enough credit to - you. As I was watching Jillian Michael's Losing It show this week, there was a wonderful spotlight placed on the importance a father figure is to your kids. In this case, it was a son, but I can attest it's equally as important for daughters.

 How can I not write about and acknowledge the incredible USA World Cup victory on Wednesday over Algeria? It was truly remarkable and the best US soccer victory to date. For those of you who don't follow the World Cup, the victory is what movies are made of. A soccer game consists of two 45-minute halves and our star player, Landon Donovan, scored in the 91st minute. That's right, after regulation they add what's called injury time which is usually one to four minutes extra. Love it or hate it, soccer is the world's #1 sport. Although the entertainment aspects of the sport are often called into question by US fans, this fact is indisputable. In full disclosure, I'm a soccer fan so this time every four years is exciting.
As I sat in a crowded DC bar sipping my Bud Light at 10:00 AM, there were literally 5 point-blank opportunities throughout regulation where we could have scored. In fact, we did score once but it was disallowed claiming off-sides which was complete BS. As the clock ticked, you could feel the tension mount. Why? Because the US had to win to advance into the next round. A tie simply wouldn't do it. What happened next was truly unbelievable and will go down in the history books. Because Landon scored in the 91st minute, not only did we advance to the round of 16, but we won the entire Group which hasn't happened since 1930. That's right, we went from the brink of disaster to winning the whole f***ing Group!! |

 Well Dads, it's another June and another Father's Day here to celebrate us. We deserve it, right? We cut the grass, take out the trash, get the kids breakfast, provide for the family and do the laundry. Well, maybe that last ones a stretch. Anyway, as this year's Father's Day rolls around, I want you to ask yourself one question and one question only: Are you taking care of yourself physically?
Study after study points to the midsection as the most dangerous place to carry excess fat and yet that's where most of us encounter our challenge. Instead of merely appreciating all the homemade cards or priceless blobs of colored clay or golf shirt we might receive from our kids, give yourself a gift this year. Make it your focus to embrace what Father's Day really means and lead by example. |
