A couple of weeks back I made a blog post about my wife being pregnant and how I let myself back-slide and put on weight. Since then I’ve started running again – mostly time with my daughter (she rides her bike while I trot along) but today I hit the gym for the first time in quite a while. My plan was to wait until after my wife delivered our new baby girl to start a gym routine. Things would …

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.

Some days I would come home from the gym, sore and tired, and barely be able to drag myself out of bed the following morning. Other days all I wanted to do was gorge on food. I was determined to make a change and I stuck …
After a long day at work on Wednesday I was looking forward to a sweaty gym session. It was a day that started out just like any other. I walked through the door of Anytime Fitness, made my way to the changing room, and got dressed.
