How I Gained 25lbs This Year

This Saturday marked a special day in our house.

Our baby daughter Matea turned the big #1 on Saturday and celebrated her 1st Birthday!

Days later...I am still cleaning up cake

I can't believe a whole year has gone by since I became a dad.

I have to say it's been the most challenging AND the most rewarding year of my life.

Looking back I don't know how I survived on such little sleep!

But when you are suddenly responsible for another little life, you find a way to do what you have to do to be the best damn dad you can be.

Which also involves not forgetting to take care of myself.... I don't want to be huffing and puffing and out of breath when I am running around the backyard playing with my daughter because I neglected to take time for myself and stay fit with just 3 short workouts a week.

Despite being a busy dad working full-time up to 60 hours a week and running a business on the side , with my Dad Fitness workouts the only weight I gained during the past year has been my 25lb beautiful baby daughter.

I am actually down a few pounds to about 175lbs and a little leaner, compared to this time last year. But I am feeling healthier and stronger than I have ever been thanks to paying extra attention to my warm ups, mobility and my flexibility during my workouts.

I keep things pretty simple with short intense workouts and eating REAL food most of the time.

I work hard in the gym but more importantly work hard at home being a dad, a husband and a man.

That weight on my shoulders is something that I never want to lose...


Happy Birthday Matea.

Enjoy the ride...I will be there every step of the way;-)
