Six months ago I was dealing with depression over my weight. I came to the conclusion that what would make me happy would be to shed my unwanted pounds and begin leading a long and active life with my family. I formulated a plan and set it into motion.

Plans changed but I never bothered to remove my vacation time from my work schedule. I thought at least we could hang out together around the house while our daughter spent time in school. I tried to make the most …
November is a new month and brings with it a whole new set of goals. I’m happy to say that so far things are off to a great start! I’ve outlined all of my new goals when I posted about my November Project (as well as Episode 14 of The Slimming Down Dad Podcast), so there is no need to re-hash the specifics.
