Several weeks ago I published an episode of the Slimming Down Dad Podcast where I spent a little time talking about a friend that was opening his own fitness studio – CustomFit Training. For his grand opening he was offering a discount on Personal Training, Group Training, and Punch Cards (used for drop-in classes).

I had Jerry on Episode 8 of Slimming Down Dad and he has been doing great with his health goals. During this text exchange I made mention that I was having a hard time tracking water intake. MyFitnessPal was an awesome app for tracking calories in and calories …
When I was a kid, I grew up in the Kensington section of Philadelphia. In 90’s, when my family packed up and moved away, the neighborhood was becoming very rough with drugs.

My father used to use it for work and it would leave the remainder …
