While attempting to play with my 7 year old son and 13 year old nephew, it took less than 3 minutes of rough-housing before I was winded. Later that night we were attempting push-ups and I couldn't even knock out 3 with good form... I realized that, if I wanted to be around to play with my son and nephew as they get older, this was NOT going to work. Luckily, my wife (who is my biggest and best supporter and who constantly pushes me to be better) suggested that we really start a diet and exercise program. My brother, a chiropractor, was a champion cheerleader as we embarked on this journey together. That was June of 2009...
