But, if I had to pick one in particular it would be an 8 year old little bundle of
energy that calls me Daddy. I grew up in an overweight family. There were no family hikes, swims, bike rides or other healthy activities. And the ones my sister and I did do, we did alone. I never had a father growing up myself, but I had too many friends with big
fat daddies, who were really sweet and nice old guys, but they also never did anything with us.
That will never be me. I want to be the 60 yer old fit daddy that my 22 year old daughter will call to go hiking, mountain climbing and playing tennis with her and her friends. I want her friends to say "Hey, invite that fun old dad of yours to come skiing too!" etc.
I want to give my daughter all the things I never had, including a healthy outlook on exercise and
diet that I never had, leading me to be here today.
