Having someone waiting for you at the gym is a great incentive to get there and work out. Any partnership works well to keep you motivated. Neither partner wants to let the other down.

A dog is a great exercise partner. If you are a busy individual and you have a dog you know how motivated he or she is to get out for a walk, or a bike ride, or any other physical activity. Most pets are great at getting into a routine and keeping to it – to a fault in most cases.

My dog knows that the first thing we do in the morning is go for a walk. It is a great time of day to get out and stretch my legs. She loves to stretch her legs, sniff the grass, and do all those other doggy things. We walk about a kilometer and a half. We both get some exercise and I have a chance to get my senses together and start to plan my day before I even hit the shower.

After work we have the same routine. We walk, usually my wife and I with the dog, for about 30 minutes. This is our routine and it is great. We get outside, we get some exercise, our dog stays healthy and active and we all win.

Certainly there are times when we are late to go on our walk and our dog lets us know. She cries, looks anxiously at the door, passes, nudges our arms, and make sure that we know we are breaking our routine and our unspoken vow to keep active with her. She is the best police force to keep us walking twice a day that ever existed. We rarely miss a walk – only in the most terrible weather. We are all better for it.

Look around your house. I bet you have a fitness partner right next to you!

Have fun – “Walkies!?”

I did buy a really good scale and was at 206.8lbs with over 35% body fat when I started the diet (I know,35+%! I was horrified!). I’m now down to 178.6lbs and am not going to check my body fat percentage again until I get down to my goal weight of about 165.

Then I’m off to the gym to try to add 10 or 15 lbs of muscle over the next year or so. I think that these goals are acheiveable in a nice long time frame and also think that I’d be pretty happy with weighing in at 175 or 180. As long as my body fat percentage is around 15. I’ll be a decade older next year and that final goal weight seems healthy and reasonable.

I am on a diet called Isagenix, it’s fairly expensive (about $300 a month) but the results are great and spending good money forces me to take it seriously. I get vitamins, cleanse juice, snacks, and 4 tubs of shake mix every month. I have a meal replacement shake for breakfast and lunch, take vitamins twice a day, drink about 2 liters of water a day, and have a small meal for dinner (I aim for about 600 calories at dinner). I do a cleanse day every week, on those days I don’t have any food all day-just the vitamins, lots of water, and 4oz of cleanse juice 4X during the day. So the $300/month actually looks reasonable when I consider that’s for 2 ‘meals’ a day and no food at all 4 days out of every month.

The diet is pretty easy to keep up, and the pounds keep dropping off even if I cheat a little sometimes. I’ve dropped nearly 30 lbs in about 3 months, I’ll probably be at my goal weight in another 3-4 months, and most people don’t yoyo on Isagenix. I’m planning to stick with the maintenance program(1 shake/day,2 cleanse days/month…$150ish) or the muscle-building Isapro program for as long as it keeps working for me. It’s set up as a multi-level marketing scheme but I didn’t get into it to make money, I wanted to lose weight and I am. But the changes are pretty dramatic, people are asking about the program and a few want to sign up under me – I won’t refuse to make a bit of money either. I’m pretty sold on the results … I’m down 28.2 lbs, my heart rate is down 25000 beats/day (resting pulse from 74/min 3 months ago to 56/min now). I feel a little hungry most of the time but not deprived, and I can indulge in a craving once in a while. So far, so good. Plus I’m sleeping better and don’t get as tired at work (but I’ve shed 30lbs of fat, so of course I’m more energetic during/after a 12 hour shift). And $300/month makes me think hard before I do something to set myself back, so no cheeseburger at 3am ’cause I’m bored and cranky.

Whether we know it or not, we’re our kids’ most important teachers. They’ll likely spend far more time with us in their formative years than anyone else, and everything we do is an opportunity for them to learn. Unfortunately, sometimes they learn from our mistakes just as readily as our good example.

Kids pick up their eating habits from their parents, of course. They get used to eating what their parents serve, and while they don’t share all tastes with their parents, there ends up being a lot of commonality. Children pick up habits just like adults do, through repetition and example over a period of weeks and months. Making sure these habits are healthy is an important part of parenthood, and fortunately we have some advice to help make this process a little easier.
