15d (edited) • Daily Dad Practices
Thanks Theron
I didn’t start this just to lose weight.
My A1C was 6.1 (pre-diabetic) and I’ve got kids watching me — I needed to get my health right and lead by example.
So I committed to doing something every day.
Mostly running, but when my Achilles flared up, I walked instead. No missed days.
At the same time, I made a big change with food:
I cut out most sugars and most processed foods. Nothing extreme — just started eating like it actually mattered.
Here’s the result in ~3 months:
- Weight: 207.2 → 194.6 (-12.6 lbs)
- Body fat: 23.8% → 21.2%
- Visceral fat: 11 → 9
- Skeletal muscle: 49.1% → 50.8%
- Body water: 55.0% → 56.9%
- A1C: 6.1 → 5.7
Side note: I was 217 last November.
This wasn’t just weight loss — it’s been a full health shift.
Better energy, better endurance, better recovery, and way better control of my blood sugar.
I kept it simple:
- Mostly Zone 2 runs
- Walk when needed (recovery over ego)
- No crash dieting
- Just consistency
Still working on:
- Adding strength training
- Hitting protein consistently
- Improving sleep
- Staying locked in when life gets busy
Big takeaway:
As dads, we don’t need perfect — we need consistency.
Saw someone say this awhile back lol
Day 94. Still going.
