Yeah that’s the announcement I seen this morning on our local cable channel after I finished a heart pumping session of incline walking on my treadmill, AND after drinking about a liter of water already today.

Oops, so far so good!

This is a rare occurrence up here in Northern Canada where I live as we are lucky to have a high quality tap water and municipal filtration system. People who visit are blown away by the clean, refreshing taste of our tap water.

Only 2 weeks ago our local paper released their water quality report and achieved a 100% quality rating, which was even better than the popular bottled water they tested.

After seeing the Boil Order Advisory our major concern is for our baby daughter as she is drinking formula. But we always boil and sterilize her water and bottles anyway.

The first thing you busy dads should do when trying to improve your health and lifestyle is start drinking more WATER. Just make sure you are drinking a clean source even from a tap filter like Brita or high quality spring bottled water.

Always have water by your side during the day and drink lots water of during your Dad Fitness workouts.

Today is a day off from the gym but like I mentioned I hit the treadmill this morning for 25 minutes of incline walking at my treadmill max incline of 10. I was huffing and puffing and soaked by the end.

I like to mix up my fat burning workouts by rotating interval sprints and steep incline walking. My legs and lower back are a bit sore from yesterdays deadlift workout so I opted for the incline walking today.

Here was my healthy breakfast to start the day:

3 egg Omega3 omelet with veggies, peppers, ham, onions and cheese

Fresh Cantaloupe on the side

So I guess I am off to buy a couple cases of bottled water, which I hardly ever drink.

I feel weird even paying for water.

Hope this gets resolved soon!

You probably heard this quote before ” If you fail to plan, you plan to fail” right?

Well, I agree with this 100%. If you want to lose that dangerous heart attack fat hanging from your belly you need to plan your Dad Fitness workouts and you also need to plan and prepare your Dad Fitness meals.

Just winging it and grabbing whatever food is most convenient is probably what got you overweight in the first place.

But, “I don’t have the time!”. Hey, I hear you loud and clear, we busy dads don’t have the luxury to spend all day in the gym or in the kitchen.

That’s why when you begin living the Dad Fitness lifestyle you get lots of great meal ideas like this one and only workout 3 times a week!. We all have those crazy hectic days when we can’t get to eat what we planned to eat. So most people get home from work, and order in for you and your family.

Typical takeout junk like greasy pizza and fatty Chinese food will do nothing to help you or your family in your quest to live a long healthy life and look good in the process.

So here is a quick meal you can pickup on the way home from work when you are stuck for a quick healthy dinner for you and the kids.

Pre-Cooked Rotisserie Chicken from your local supermarket
(just don’t eat the skin)

Throw together a quick garden salad with veggies with some feta cheese and olive oil sprinkled on top.

Voila! A healthy dinner idea for you busy dads on those busy days.

These chickens are also great to have for leftovers the next day at work or other healthy chicken recipes during the week.

Here is what I did for my Dad Fitness Workout today:

Barbell Deadlifts, 3 sets of 4-6 reps
Chin-Ups, 2 sets of 6-8 reps
Bulgarian Split Squats, 2 sets of 6-8 reps
Seated Calf Raises, 2 sets of 8-10 reps
Barbell Curls, 2 sets of 6 reps
Reverse Preacher Curls, 2 sets of 6 reps
EZ Bar Reverse Curls, 2 sets of 6 reps

I was soaked afterwards, it was super hot and humid in my little grungy dungeon of a gym!

Homer Simpson moment:

Marge: Homer, I have to go out to pick up something for dinner.

Homer: (hopeful) Steak?

Marge: Hmmm, money’s too tight for steak.

Homer: (even more hopeful) Steak??

Marge: Eh…sure. “Steak.”

Ahh, the simplicity of throwing meat on the grill.

Saturday evening my wife and I fired up the backyard grill for a nice dinner for two on a hot summer’s day. Our 8 week old daughter Matea, enjoyed hanging out in her rocker chair.

New York Striploin Steak with Avocado Salad

For all you busy dads, don’t get caught up in complicated recipes if you try to do some of the cooking. Even for you dads who stay away from the kitchen the backyard bbq is usually man’s territory.

It’s in our DNA to cook meat over an open flame!

Thats why the Dad Fitness Lifestyle System has simple, manly foods that will get you lean without having to eat like a bird. You can enjoy backyard BBQs and still eat good satisfying food.

Wanna eat like this and still lose fat?

Give your wife a break and serve up something super easy. You can’t go wrong just pick a lean protein, like beef, chicken or pork, some sea salt and freshly ground pepper and throw it over a hot grill.

Serve with a side salad instead of a high carb baked potato or fatty French fries.

Plus there is no kitchen mess of pot and pans to clean-up afterwards. Gotta love that!

After recently reading the book “In Defense Of Food” by Michael Pollan (which I highly recommend by the way) it really got me thinking about how we eat as a society.

He states that 17,000 food “products” are created every year! Basically this is the man made junk that people now consider to be food.

Just remember if your grandmother or great grandmother wouldn’t recognize it as real food don’t eat it!

Also another great one by world renowned strength coach Charles Poliquin is “if it don’t run in the field, fly, swim, or is green don’t eat it if you want maximum fat loss as well as maximum health”.

So here is a quick video of some basic healthy “real” food that I picked up on a trip to the supermarket. You will notice that I don’t eat anything out of a box or package.

Also remember if a food has a health claim it’s really not that healthy. Right now it seems you can get anything that is “organic” such as chips and crackers. I have even read that Coke and Pepsi are coming out with a natural organic soda with cane sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup, which you want to avoid at all costs. Also read some chocolate bars are jumping on the bandwagon of the health benefits of cocoa and adding it to the bars.

We need to wake-up and start eating real food if you want to live a long life and be around to see your family grow up.

In the Dad Fitness e-book you get tasty recipes and meal ideas with real wholesome foods that your whole family will enjoy.

We all love eggs for the high quality protein right?

I find hard boiled eggs to be a quick and easy snack if you boil a whole bunch of eggs at once and stick them in the fridge.

But peeling the damn things are time consuming and annoying!

I usually get my wife to do it as she has more patience than me…

But here is a super easy way to peel the eggs without actually peeling them!

This video is by Tim Ferris, the author of the Four Hour Workweek.

An awesome book that I highly recommend for you busy dads to save time and spend more time with your family.
