The First Step

This is it. I am beginning my journey to a healthier life.

This has been a long time coming and this first step is definitely the hardest, but I have such an important reason to take that step: my son. He just turned 7 months old and is the most amazing little thing that could have ever happened to me and my wife. In an instant our world changed forever and suddenly the next 50 years of my life became a lot more important. I need to see him go to kindergarten, ride a bike, play sports, learn to drive, attend college, and give us grandchildren. I am anxiously awaiting for the day that as dad and son we can go fishing, hike, explore...all things I will need to be around to do. If I don't make a change then I could miss out on all of these things with him. And that thought is all it took for me to decide to take that step. To begin my journey of a thousand miles.

I know it won't be easy. In fact, I'm already dreading parts of it.
But for this little boy, it will all be worth it...
