As a new Dad, while I was sitting on the couch eating my nightly pint of Haagen-Dazs chocolate chocolate chip ice cream, I rested it on my protruding belly. It was like a shelf! I was appalled at the shape I was in. I joined a gym the next day and have been going fairly steady since.

The feeling of accomplishment, the soreness, doing something positive for myself. The fact that I am my own coach, motivator and competition. It is extremely gratifying seeing results and improving my physique.
