Being fat and out of shape sucks. I refuse to be one of those lazy parents who sits around on the couch all day eating potato chips instead of having fun with my son. It will also send a good message about the importance of health and fitness to my son so he doesn't run in to the same issues that I have.

I love the feeling of getting in shape. The burn of the muscle. Being able to look back and see the difference in myself from when I first started. Knowing that I'm giving it my all and it is going to pay off in the end.
