Timestamped Show Notes:

15:20 – You are just focusing on survival, Dad Mode, Super Dad, husband, baby number two, the career, etc. Next thing you know, I'm 45 pounds heavier. Yes, I have three kids, I'm still in the same job, and I didn't have a lot of control over that. Life happens, but it happens to all of us, and at what point are you going to take back that control and say "I'm making my life", it's not just happening to me anymore.

35:30 – I lost my weight goal and I was generally much happier, but then I thought I could still be better. I thought I could maybe push it some more and then I would challenge myself and say why not just do it. How far can I go? How good can I feel? How much weight can I actually lose? I mean, I lost the weight of my child!

59:45 – It's about creating that habit and starting that better habit because the adjustments are needed for that healthy lifestyle shift. 30 days is a simple commitment and we can all do it!

01:04:00 – Final Words

Our Final Words of the Show:

I would love to share with your listeners that you can accept that you are on your own journey. If it is not the journey you want to be on, it is okay to change it. You have the control to do that, so please allow yourself to do so.
