Project #DadFit – New Beginnings
Here we are again at this old familiar territory. Things were looking up for a while. I ran my first official 5K, was working out and running 5-6 days a week and even started eating healthier. I had never felt better in my life, mentally and physically, but I have let it all slip through my fingers. Now I sit here on the couch watching Real Housewives of (insert city here) because I’m too lazy to bother looking for the remote control, and I am not proud of myself at all.
All is not lost, however. I have faltered and regained footing before and I know that I can do it again. In fact, my new beginning starts today! My family were excited to welcome a video crew from GoodLife Fitness to our house this month so that I could share my story and struggles with staying fit. It’s not always easy to talk about our shortcomings but I do so with the hope that it will inspire me to work harder and possibly strike a chord in others who are dealing with the same struggles.
The GoodLife Fitness video is about Beginnings and I am really happy with how it turned out. Today is Monday, April 27th and on top of being my daughter’s birthday (Happy Birthday, Baby) this is the day that I begin my journey to a better me.
Amazing video and share! I enjoyed it very much 🙂
Excellant video and your honesty is inspiring. It is always so much easier to make excuses for our shortcomings but knowing them and doing something about them is truly rewarding. I have all the confidence in you as you start your “Beginnings”. Love you dear son-in-law!
Awesome video, Chris! Love the reasons for beginning again because they’re the same ones I had when I started getting my act together a bit over a year ago. Keep up the good work and if you ever need an accountability/motivation buddy, you know how to get in touch with me!
Great. Great. Video. Love the whole storyline. Congrats on your successes.
Good for you, Chris!
That’s not an easy thing to share with the world, but is a wonderful step to take for both you and your family. Your family must be so proud of you.
And I am so sorry to hear about your Dad. I lost my Dad a few years ago too, and am still not able to write about it. I miss him so much.
Sending a hug,
Emme
Great spot Chris.They did a great job putting this together. Good luck, I’m rooting for you.
Great job Chris 🙂
This was just incredible, Chris! Who filmed it? My son and his friends have a production company and it looks like their work, very similar style. Good for you for starting this journey…. I’m on the couch eating poutine right now. *sigh* Tomorrow will be a better day, I’m sure!
Loved this Chris!! What an awesome investment you are making in yourself and for your family!! You got this! #keepmoving
Hey Chris, great job! Such a moving video and story! I wish you all the best.
Love it Chris! You are inspiring. 🙂
