First meal of the day. Water. Followed by the usual stuff. Less or no sugar in the day is good.

I’m not doing this just to lose weight… I’m doing it because my kids are watching me. I’ve got five of them, and they deserve a dad who has energy, discipline, and shows up fully not just physically, but mentally and spiritually too. I don’t want to be the dad who’s always tired, always “starting tomorrow,” or sitting on the sidelines. This is bigger than a competition for me. It’s about becoming the example they grow up remembering the one who didn’t quit, who took care of himself, and who showed them what consistency really looks like. I’m doing this for them… but also because I know I’m capable of more than I’ve been giving.

We're less than a week out — and I want to know: what does your prep look like? Are you cleaning out the pantry? Booking your first drill session? Getting a Gym membership? Starting to track what you're eating? Or are you a "figure it out on Day 1" type? No wrong answers here. This community is about showing up as you are and getting better together. Drop your prep plan in the comments. Even if it's "I have no plan yet" — that counts. Let's hear it 👇
