At a recent gathering of families, a friend of mine declared that he was going to cut his weight down by a significant amount and wanted to put it out there so we could hold him accountable going forward. After thinking about it, I decided I would join in with him to declare an amount of weight I will drop. I want to open this to all fathers out there. It's NOT a challenge to see who can lose the most weight. It is an initiative to get fathers inspired.
Why be inspired? We needed to make sure we are in the best shape possible to ensure we live a long life for our kids...to see them grow up to be adults...to see our grandkids grow up...and maybe be blessed to see a 4th generation come into the world.
Why fathers? I wanted to focus on fathers to give us an extra push that others may not need. As fathers (and also husbands for many), our plates are full and time may be limited. This is a simple initiative to get all fathers to go that extra mile and work to become healthier than you are today.
What do you need to do?
All you need to do is state the amount of weight you are committing to knock off. You don't need to state your current weight...we don't need to know that. You can then post any progress on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. I plan to create a Facebook page specifically for this so progress updates can be easily posted.
I would like to set an initial "milestone" date for Father's Day. Let's see what we can lose up to that date in June. Then we keep going after that.
Now I will start things off by declaring I will lose between 15 - 20 pounds. Now I'm accountable to everyone reading this.
How much do you declare to lose?
